Tiga didn't have your average childhood. He was born in Canada but spent many of his first ten years in Goa, where his parents were part of a community of travellers with a love of all-night beach parties and spirituality. There, he discovered the joys of playing music to a crowd, and went on to become a world-famous, award-winning DJ. He's remixed songs from The xx, LCD Soundsystem, Scissor Sisters, Peaches, Moby, Depeche Mode and more.
In this episode we find out what happened when Ollie went to a rave and the police turned up, ask what it's like to change from a rule-free hippy child into a boarding school boy and discuss why your teenage years are the best times to make a few mistakes.
Tiga's ‘3am Questions’:
Favourite book - 1984 by George Orwell or Waiting for the Barbarians by J. M. Coetzee
Favourite film - Bladerunner
Favourite song - Kiss by Prince

Tracy Beaker author Jacqueline Wilson has never shied away from the difficult parts of life in her books. She's tackled alcoholism, mental health issues, divorce, domestic abuse and growing up in care, but always manages to make her creations warm, witty and child-friendly.
Her books inspired the long-running Tracy Beaker TV series, which has recently been reimagined as 'My Mum Tracy Beaker', featuring Dani Harmer as a grown-up Tracy with a daughter of her own.
In this episode we talk about casting Tracy Beaker, coming out in later life and the sad story that inspired James' favourite Jacqueline Wilson book, 'The Suitcase Kid'.
Jacqueline's ‘3am Questions’:
Favourite book - The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Favourite film - Thelma and Louise

In this special bonus episode we take a break from our break to welcome Ed Sheeran and his manager Stuart Camp onto the podcast!
We were honoured to host the first interview with both Ed and Stuart together. Over the years the pair have developed a unique friendship, and Stuart and his wife are even godparents to Ed’s daughter Lyra. They still disagree on one big thing, however. Ed is a huge Potter superfan. Stuart isn’t.
We ask why Ed makes Stuart carry a photo of the Weasley twins in his wallet at all times, which ridiculous purchase Stuart had to talk Ed out of, and why Ed asked Rupert Grint to play him in the music video for 'Lego House'.

In this episode we chat to graphic design duo MinaLima. Throughout the Harry Potter films, Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima worked together to concoct the style at the heart of the films, from the intricately detailed Marauder’s Map, the wonderfully bonkers Daily Prophet and our favourite, the fantastical Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes inventions.
We find out why the first attempt at Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes wasn’t ‘vulgar’ enough, what Mira and Eduardo think about seeing their designs as tattoos and how the duo snuck their names into so many of their Potter designs.
Since the last Potter film came out, MinaLima have been busy designing Diagon Alley at the Universal Orlando Resort and creating the graphic props for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, as well as for films outside the Potter world including Sweeney Todd and The Golden Compass. They’ve also illustrated a beautiful collection of classic novels for Harper Collins and opened stores in London, Osaka and New York. Find out more at minalima.com
We’re sad to say that this is the last episode of the season, but don’t worry we’ll be back later this year with more wonderful guests!
MinaLima’s '3am Questions':
Favourite book: Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman (Eduardo); Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (Mira)
Favourite film/TV: Cinema Paradiso (Eduardo) and Mad Men (Mira)
Favourite song: Anything by Madonna (Eduardo) and Space Oddity by David Bowie (Mira)

In this episode we chat to British Paralympian and self-described javelin queen Hollie Arnold MBE.
Hollie, who was born without a right forearm, became a household name in 2016 when she won gold at the Rio Paralympics, smashing the world record in the process. But things haven't always been plain sailing for Hollie.
We find out how Hollie coped when her mum was hospitalised with severe depression, why internet trolls turned on her when she shared her 'MBE' title on UK reality TV show 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here' and how sibling rivalry got her onto the athletics field in the first place.
If you or someone close to you is finding life difficult, don’t suffer in silence. Contact the Suicide Prevention Hotline or The Samaritans for support.

In this episode we talk to Cameo app co-founder Martin Blencowe.
Martin’s story is sure to inspire you, although his journey to success was not smooth. We hear about his struggle with steroids as a teenage athlete in the UK, his pursuit of the American Dream in LA and how the Harry Potter films helped him through his father’s last weeks.
Cameo is an app that allows users to order personalised video messages from their favourite actors, singers and sportspeople. The app’s success did not happen overnight, however. We hear about Martin’s career struggles (he’s a self-confessed failed Olympic athlete, failed sports agent, and failed film producer) and find out why it’s so hard for him to sit back and enjoy his success.
Listen out for behind-the-scenes celebrity stories, and Martin’s favourite Cameo moment.
Martin’s ‘3am Questions’:
Favourite book - Lucky Man - Michael J. Fox
Favourite song - An Englishman in New York - Sting
Favourite film - The Harry Potter series and Terminator 2
