The Way They Were

63: Glyn Fussell: Boy George & Jon Moss

For our season finale, we're travelling back to the 80s to explore the once top-secret relationship between Culture Club's Boy George and Jon Moss. Thanks to George's memoirs, our eyes have been opened to this deeply complicated love story, but during this episode we discover this story majorly lacked the 'love' part.
There's no one we'd rather spend our final episode with than the fabulous curator, party maker and self-professed Boy George aficionado, Glyn Fussell! Not only does Glyn bring the laughs, but he also fills this episode with compassion as we acknowledge the shift in queer culture and representation since the 1980s and the effects of overnight fame.

The podcast where every celebrity split is the one that got away. Each week comedians Grainne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate take a deep dive into a celebrity breakup, chosen by a special guest, that still lingers in their hearts and minds. We scour interviews, over-analyse iconic pictures and search for meaning in post-breakup media statements. Celeb gossip hounds will feel right at home, but really anyone who's experienced a breakup can appreciate hearing how the rich and famous take heartbreak to a whole new level. They might uncouple ‘amicably with love and respect for one another’ - but we never get over these lost loves! Join us every Friday for a new episode.
