Arlo shares songs that have soundtracked her recent travels, from Duster to Shabaka. She also conducts a cultural conversation with her friend, the Midsommar actor Archie Madekwe.

Step into Arlo鈥檚 inner world for an hour of music and musings on creativity, comfort and inspiration. She鈥檚 called it Dream Fuel - a scrapbook in sound of her favourite tracks, poems, personal voice notes, field recordings and special guests.

In this episode Arlo is joined by her friend, the London actor Archie Madekwe, whose credits include the eerie film Midsommar, the Channel 4 comedy Fresh Meat, or the Apple TV series See. Together, Arlo and Archie swap some songs that are special to them, and discuss subjects including rugs, musical tattoos, and how to find freedom while practising your art.
