Welcome to Intelligence Squared where great minds meet. I'm head of programming Connor Boyle. We're looking back at some of our favourite books of the year in our 12 books of Christmas. Today's episode is with musician and writer Jordan Stevens. Stevens joined us alongside comedian Munya Chihuahua to discuss his youth, the band Rizzle Kicks, relationships and modern masculinity.

Themes from his memoir, Avoidance Drugs, Heartbreaking Dogs. Let's go to the episode now. Hey. How are we doing everyone? We good?

Alright, just to clarify, I am the host for this conversation. Okay, this is in the JLS Tribute Act. Has everyone read the book? Alright, this guy in the front with the guns out. What's your name?
