Joe and Tom talk to a man who’s written some of the biggest pop songs of all time. He’s worked with the Spice Girls, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, and had six Christmas number ones, but he’s also one of the loveliest people we’ve ever met.

His name is Biff Stannard, he’s a songwriter, and he's here to tell us what makes a hit.

Oh and we have a favour to ask. If you have the Apple podcast app, or Spotify, we’d love you to give the show a five star review. And if you use Apple then feel free to write something nice about Biff, or any of our recent guests. It’s nice to share that sort of love.
