The Reggie Yates Podcast

Sometimes it’s best to stop, take stock and just shut the F up. When 2020 went left, we had no choice but to press pause... That time has passed. The people have spoken, we listened. We back.

So what’s changed? What’s happened since March? Will TRYP ever be the same? There’s a lot to discuss, but how do you cover the longest seven months in one conversation? Press play to find out.

This week concludes our 3-part run recorded at Eggslut with a finale of hilarious proportion - Bad Man Billy is back! Reg, Owen and Uzo sit back while Baba reads Uzo's mini-novel written when he was 10 years old. Yes, 10 years old. We're taken into the world of Billy, Darren and their adventures in Devon through to Brixton. Rapping, Breakdancing and a manager called Ragga Rasta Wilson, it's all happening in the weird and wonderful mind of child novelist, Uzo Oleh.

This week we continue with part 2 of our 3-part run recorded at Eggslut. While working their way through the menu, Reg, Baba, Owen and Uzo discuss the 'racist raps' complaints made against Dave at this year's Brits. Was his performance really underpinned by racism? Which part of Britain actually made the complaints? How have the Brits responded to being called out for under-representing Black artists? They also discuss the death of US Rap star Popsmoke and the intersection between social media, success in music, street culture and how it's all intertwining to lead to such tragedies. On a lighter note, the boys also confess their first-ever TV presenter crushes and discuss why 1999 was one of the best years for film, ever.

In the first of a 3-part run, the boys discuss the hysteria surrounding the Coronavirus: is it a case of genuine worry or heightened media frenzy? how they take care of their health when life's pressures get high as is the case for Reggie who's currently shooting his new film Pirates (follow @piratesfilm) and what makes boxer Tyson Fury such a legend. Uzo also brings his own home-made purple bread rolls. Yes. Purple.

This week, Reg, Owen and Buba record a secret episode in a room full of unsuspecting friends who’re convinced the record is done.

After the get together that was the Xmas and New Years mixer, a tipsy Buba (after half a beer) a gushy Owen and very merry Reg pull in a few friends from the audience to join them for a short but sweet ‘Sneaky Cast’ for your listening pleasure.

It’s the final record from the last decade and next week, usual shenanigans will resume. For now though, enjoy the sneaky cast and get ready for another year of TRYP on its way from next week.
