About this listen

 Fraser T Smith is a producer for some of music’s biggest names including Adele, Stormzy, Dave and Kano. He recently released his debut album "12 Questions" under the alias of "Future Utopia" where he posed twelve universal, human and urgent questions, all born of Fraser’s own anxieties about the world today. As part of the podcast, Fraser is pairing some of the sharpest minds in popular culture to answer these questions in order to examine the breadth of their answers, and to help him, and others navigate living in the modern world.

    12: Pete Tong x Dan Smith
    Jul 1 2021
    The 12th and final episode and what a finale this is. I am joined by the global ambassador for dance music; Pete Tong MBE, and the nicest man in show business; Dan Smith, lead singer of Bastille. Dan had already answered the question “What’s In A Name” on the 12 Questions album but in this episode he answers ‘Do We Really Care?’ by discussing public opinion, songwriting over zoom and whether the power of positivity can help save the planet. Pete offers insight into what it's like to have your name turned into cockney rhyming slang and he also reveals his record for how many shows he has performed in one night. I have absolutely loved having these conversations with so many household names and I really hope you've enjoyed listening to the answers that have been given by my incredible guests. Huge thanks to everyone that has taken part in the series and to you also for listening. Stay tuned!

    11: Griff x Maisie Peters
    Jun 24 2021
    This week I speak to two artists who are set to become the future of modern music. Griff, fresh from her Brits performance and “Rising Star” award win, discusses whether she can really live up to the title of rising star, whether she’s found her truth in music, and her worries going into writing her next album. Maisie Peters, Ed Sheeran’s newest signing on his Gingerbread Man Records label, speaks about whether Ed is the most generous man in music, whether being a twin means she believes in nature or nuture, and if she has found freedom in her life so far.

    10: Doc Brown x Jelani Blackman
    Jun 17 2021
    Two multi-hyphenates Doc Brown and Jelani Blackman join me this week to answer the 12 Questions. Jelani had already answered Nature or Nurture with his track “Nature Or Nurture / Am I Built Like This” on the 12 Questions album but in this episode he muses over connection, finding his purpose and whether this year has seen us more divided than ever. Musician, comedian and author Doc Brown, AKA Ben Bailey Smith, obviously had to answer ‘What’s In A Name?’ but he also speaks about retiring from music, how stand up is the hardest thing he’s ever done, and how his daughters helped him realise what love is.
