51 minutes | Thursday, 5 November 2026

Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke joins his friend of 20 years, Miquita Oliver, to share how much online abuse he’s received in the last few months. Kele says he’s never felt anything like it directed to him on this scale since Bloc Party’s latest album was released. They also get into learning an instrument later in life, making mistakes in parenting and the Popworld inspired moment that started their friendship.Miss Me?
