Paloma Faith has had plenty of moments in her life when she's felt mad, sad or bad - or been told that's what she's being. But do these words mean the same for everyone? What does it mean if someone says you're mad: that you're angry? Unstable? Insane? Or perhaps just different... Could those words be liberating, therapeutic or even transformational? To find out more, Paloma invites an array of actors, comedians, musicians and thinkers into her home to reflect on times where they've felt mad, sad, bad - and even glad - what they've understood and learnt from these experiences too. This podcast takes us into Paloma's world, with friends and family popping in occasionally - come for the chaos; stay for the conversation! New Episodes every Tuesday Hosted on Acast.

TRUE CRIME
At 25, Hannah’s life begins falling apart. An anonymous intruder has made her phone her enemy. Aided by the technology we all rely on, this intruder is watching Hannah, threatening her, even pretending to be her. Feeling increasingly unsafe, Hannah goes to the police, but they can’t stop it. Worse, they don’t even recognise it for what it is: stalking. Hannah doesn’t know for sure who is behind it all, but she suspects an older man she met more than two years earlier at London Fashion Week. Initially, he claimed to have been hacked. Even today, he disputes stalking her. To make sense of what’s happening Hannah turns to a woman she’s known since she was seven years-old, and who also happens to be an investigative journalist. Together with her “ex-step mum” Carole Cadwalladr, they set out to piece together something the police couldn’t: the true identity of Hannah’s stalker. Doing so means untangling a web of deception spanning continents. On her suspected stalker’s trail, Hannah realises nothing about them is as she first thought.

Go back to where it all began with Origin Stories. In each episode, an Apple Music 1 host accompanies stars as they make a revealing return to home turf. “This is intrinsic to our history,” Blossoms singer Tom Ogden tells Apple Music’s Matt Wilkinson during a visit to the Alma Lodge Hotel in the band’s hometown of Stockport. “Three of us worked here till 2014. I’d be showing the demos in the cutlery room. I’m feeling waves of nostalgia running through my veins.” Hear formative stories from friends, family and our featured artists that draw on the unique charm, character and inspiration of places they’ve called home—from buzzing cultural hotspots to the quiet charm of the English countryside. Stops in Season 1 include a trip to Stockport with local lads Blossoms (named after a pub on the corner of Bramhall Lane and Buxton Road), plus breaks in Birmingham (with MIST), Manchester (with Pip Millett), Nottingham (with Young T & Bugsey) and more.

CHANEL Connects, the flagship arts and culture podcast, returns for Season 5. Listeners are transported to La Pausa, Gabrielle Chanel’s "ideal Mediterranean villa" on the French Riviera. It was the only place entirely imagined and designed by the couturière. Set against this backdrop, Season 5 welcomes new guests and ideas, and explores the home as a nexus for creative encounters. Presented by Yana Peel, President of Arts, Culture & Heritage, CHANEL Connects brings together artists and innovators shaping the now and defining the next. Gabrielle Chanel hosted many of the leading visionaries of the 20th century—from Salvador Dalí to Jean Cocteau—at La Pausa, which became a site for artistic alchemy. Following a meticulous restoration, the villa reopened its doors for the Connects guests and their conversations. The new season features changemakers across disciplines: Academy Award-winning actor Lupita Nyong’o, Emanuele Coccia – philosopher and professor, Francesca Hayward of The Royal Ballet, artist Allison Katz, performance art duo Gerard & Kelly, Lauren Collins – writer at The New Yorker, artist Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco, and American artist Adam Pendleton. 5 is a significant number for CHANEL, so this season promises to be special. Episodes will be released weekly from July 16.
