In this energetic and thought-provoking episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by UK folk-punk troubadour Beans On Toast for a deep dive into music with meaning, humour, and heart.
From meeting his hero Billy Bragg to touring with Frank Turner, Beans shares candid stories from the road and the stages that shaped him. We talk about his passion for activism and why he flew halfway around the world to sing songs about the environment, connecting with audiences across continents through powerful lyrics and raw honesty.
Now in the middle of his Australian tour, supporting his latest album Wild Goose Chasers, he reflects on the crowds, the culture, and what keeps him coming back to the land Down Under.
As always on The Mixtape, he wraps up the show by curating a personal 6-song mixtape, highlighting the tracks that have fuelled his creative fire and inspired his mission-driven music.
