This week's guest is somebody I've known since they were a teenager, it's the incredibly talented producer, singer and artist, MNEK.

My guest this week is one of my all time heroes, Skin from iconic 90s rock bank Skunk Anansie. From working as a bouncer at the Brixton Academy to performing there, as well as presenting, DJing, producing and now a published author, she's a complete icon and I'm so delighted to have her on the show.

This week I'm speaking with writer, journalist and podcaster Reni Eddo-Lodge. Growing up in East and North London, she became the first black British woman to be #1 in the British Book Charts for her book, 'Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race', and she's written for The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph and the New York Times to name but a few. To be honest I'm a bit nervous because, look, she's really clever! Head over to www.chillysbottles.com/thiscity to check out Clara's specially curated selection of bottles.

This week I'm talking to international, world-famous DJ and hilarious king of the memes, DJ Fat Tony. He's a born and bred Londoner who's lived all over the city, and I cannot wait to hear some of those stories.

Today I'm very excited to welcome my guest, Munya Chawawa; someone who has been blowing up the internet in the last year with his satirical self-produced video sketches. He's provided us with deep-belly laughs and education on socio-political issues throughout some very difficult times, and from Derby to Zimbabwe via Norwich and Birmingham, I am so glad this guy made his move to London.

Jade Thirlwall has had a stratospheric rise to fame since bursting onto our screens on The X Factor in 2011. I'd say it was an X Factor sweet spot!

Introducing: Anthems

It's fair to say that Little Simz is a woman of many, many talents. I love and respect this woman deeply; when she's not in the studio producing smash album after smash album or performing said work on tour... and most recently, she's been on our screens acting in Top Boy! She's steadily building her place as one of the UK's most exciting artists, and she's probably done it all from London.

They say good things come in threes. And if this week's guests are anything to go by, that is definitely true. If you grew up in the noughties, Keisha, Mutya, and Siobhan from the Sugababes would have likely been a part of your musical life and we couldn't be happier that the band are getting back together 20 years after their debut album One Touch came out! And let's just be honest. We can always use a bit more sweetness in our lives.

They do say, before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes, and if you are judging this week's guest, you'd be certified to be in a pretty fantastic pair. Whether it's her trademark butterfly heels and just general, sleek, bright and bangin' designs, Sophia Webster has been responsible for dressing the feet of some of the world's most well-known women, whether it's Oprah, Jennifer Lopez, the Spice Girls, Michelle Obama, Kylie, the list goes on! She's doing it worldwide, but I wanted to bring this woman a little bit closer to home...
