On the first episode of 2024 and the final instalment of Before They Knew Better's first season, Yard Act's James Smith joins us for a trip down memory lane featuring peak era Beckham, cartoon worship and an unfortunate incident that got him banned from GCSE art class. They might be asking 'Where's My Utopia?' on forthcoming Album Two, but maybe the answer all along was in a front room in '00s Warrington with a load of Power Pods. Enjoy!
