Episode 7

George Michael

Published on: 24th May, 2021

Kim and Luca celebrate the life and work of George Michael, an extraordinary singer and songwriter whose honesty, openness and generosity changed the world as much as his singing.

We discuss the early days of Wham!, his pivotal Parkinson interviews in the wake of his very public 'outing' in 1998, the power of shame and the artistry with which he turned that on its head, the taboo of discussing sex and much, much more.

About the Podcast

How Not
A Space for Good Troublemakers
How Not is the brainchild of two gobby Scottish creatives, Kim Macari and Luca Manning, who like to talk about the BIG stuff. We thought you might like to listen...So here we are. Our mission is to always be Good Troublemakers, to think big and to ask - How Not?!

Each episode, we pick something BIG to talk about. Sometimes that's an issue or idea that's been keeping us awake at night (like the right to Protest, The Punk Movement or Universal Basic Income...) and sometimes it's a person who think is bold and brilliant - someone worthy of the title Good Troublemaker (like Keith Haring, Marsha P. Johnson or Dererk Jarman...)
