Upper Bottom

Is a rock-and-roll lifestyle a shortcut to hitting rock bottom?

Cess invites his musical pals Louis Brennan and Tom Bowen, who both stopped drinking during the pandemic, to explore the dangerous dance between sonic creativity and intoxicants.

It's a wild jig – and a level lower than usual for Upper Bottom listeners. Indeed, Tom reveals that he was shocked into giving up boozing after a doctor said he had only a year left to live if he didn't change his lifestyle.

However, the episode is timely, given the tragic premature death of musical megastar Liam Payne. RIP.
