Brat is Charli XCX's best album yet, and one of the best pop records of the year. It's a throwback to 2000's club culture mixed with avant-garde production and lyrics about loss, love and the state of the world.

Osman, Mel and special guest Meg Watson discuss why Brat feels so different to other pop music released this year and Charli's role in the culture.

Plus, they talk about the new prestige show Clipped and how it portrays social media and the rise of the Kardashians in the 2010s, and the totally unhinged Safdie brothers produced documentary series Ren Faire.
