The frontmen for The Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer chat in-depth with Huw, recorded at Cardiff Castle during their co-headline UK tour.

Both bands have been playing for over thirty years, with Billy Corgan forming The Smashing Pumpkins in 1988, releasing twelve studio albums, whilst Rivers Cuomo formed Weezer in 1992 and have released fifteen albums. Both bands have toured globally, and Weezer are celebrating three decades this year since their breakthrough record The Blue Album.

Also, Huw has another edition of 6 Musicology - where we get under the lid of how the music we love is made. Today, Professor of songwriting Sophie Daniels discusses the use of spoken word in songs and the masters of the style - such as Kae Tempest and Mike Skinner.
