"The layers of time and minefield of memory, it was too much for my body to hold." Most things don't come easily. Emily Haines joins Strombo and dives in with some real talk. The purpose of life, personal struggles with anxiety, the memories of her relationship with Lou Reed, Metric and she remembers the performance with Broken Social Scene in Manchester the day after the terrorist attacks outside the arena.

From the 1-2-3-4 to the 808's and beyond. Radio, television and digital. For over two decades, George Stroumboulopoulos has been playing the best records in the best order.
