In this week’s episode, Lynne speaks to her revolutionary friend Vivien Goldman aka the Punk Rock Professor, truly a legend in her own time. She is a writer, educator, broadcaster, and a musician. 40 years after her first single, Launderette, Goldman has now released her debut album Next is Now.

Lynne discusses Vivien’s life as a writer in the male-dominated industry of music publications such as NME and the UK weekly poprock music newspaper /Sounds.  They also discuss her time as a music PR for the legendary Bob Marley, her relentless boundary busting for better representation of women in music and her and Lynne’s shared practise of manifestation and chanting.

Watch out for the upcoming art book The Afrobeat Artist, Vivien’s art book collaborating with the godfather of today’s Lagos art scene, Lemi Ghariokwu, who set the template for the great Fela Kuti’s visuals, coming out later this year on @hatandbeardpress.
