Episode 19 - Cancer, sex addiction, cannabis, Carl Denver and the rock n roll mums' take on having a successful marriage

In this award-winning podcast that has topped the charts in both the UK and Ireland, Paul Ryder, founding member and bass player of Manchester indie dance music legends Happy Mondays opens up to his ex-wife to tell his complete life story - a tale of classic rock n roll excess and a tragic fall from grace before once again rising up to beat his demons. He details the highs of rock n roll success at the highest level and the lows of drug addiction, sex addiction, mental breakdowns and having a child with cancer, all told with a disarming level of honesty and underpinned with his understated sense of humour. Guests this week include Mara Gordon - International Cannabis Expert, Gaz Whelan - Happy Mondays drummer as well as Linda Ryder - mum of Paul and Shaun Ryder and Sandra Whelan - mum of Gaz Whelan, Happy Mondays video director Phil Shotton, Club Promotor Tyler Jacobson and Paul's son Chico Ryder.
