THIS PODCAST CONTAINS LANGUAGE AND CONTENT SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND OFFENSIVE. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS EPISODE ARE THE OPINIONS OF THE HOST AND GUESTS. GIGI’S FAMILY GAVE THEIR FULL PERMISSION FOR SHARING THIS INTERVIEW.


Welcome to series two of #ToppleUncaged!


Every week, The Canary will be bringing you an innovative podcast for the media landscape; hosted by me, Steve Topple.


You’ll get my quick fire round-up of the news in Topple’s Twittering. Then, I’ll be going in on a story or campaign you may have missed, with a very special guest, on Free Flying With… After that, you get to have your say on the week’s talking points in Twitter Chirps Back. And finally, I’ll be bringing you the freshest, most banging political music in Revolutionary Bird Song.


This week’s guests? Campaigning mum Tina Rodwell on the heartbreaking story of ‘Gigi’. Plus record-breaker and global legend Usain Bolt has answered my questions about his new move into the music industry.


Enjoy!
