Episode Details

Comedian Sindhu Vee has loved Prince ever since she was a young girl in India - when her sister gave her illicit cassettes recorded from US radio.

A pop polymath and global superstar, Prince was also a man of extreme contradictions and multiple personas.

Hearing his music changed Sindhu's life forever, and seeing him perform influenced her career as a comedian.

Sindhu discusses the life of Prince Rogers Nelson with Matthew Parris.

They’re joined by BAFTA-winning investigative journalist Mobeen Azhar (who saw Prince live 54 times!)

Produced at BBC Bristol by Eliza Lomas.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in September 2019.
