    Jun 25 2026

    Oh my goodness! Open the curtains! We're glad to be alive! It's Fi and Eve for the next week or so while Jane tries to keep cool in Bordeaux. They chat landline phones, burst boiled sausages, thick school skirts, and grilled pepper oil.


    Plus, we look at AI in the music industry. Eamonn Forde, a music business and technology journalist, and Baroness Kidron, an advisor to the Institute for Ethics in AI, join Fi.
