• Songbook. Adelle joins Jude Rogers to chat about James Young's book, Nico, Songs They Never Play on the Radio. As well as delving into the grimy Manchester life of singer Nico and her manager Alan Wise that the book portrays, they also cover, amongst many things, the intrigue of Adam Ant, why reading about failure is more fun than reading about success, misogyny and how to write about drug use without glamorising it.
