The Fourth is with us! Steve sits down with William Stone, a comedian whose well-honed on-stage persona is like a quantum-locked throwback to a brighter, happier, funnier time. In a thoughtful and considered chat, Billy and Steve cut deep into their own pasts to answer the nagging questions of the present: Were the good ol' days really so? Can Jar-Jar Binks be fixed in one single scene rewrite? Does anyone ever get to live in the decade they were born for? Does the current "trend" of big-reveal confessional comedy really have more integrity than honest-to-goodness jokes and clowning? And will we ever see a return to the time when comedy was uncalculating, child-like and for everyone?

In 2018 William was a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Award, appearing on BBC Radio4 and BBC Radio2. In 2019 he is doing his first solo comedy show "Gathering Moss" at Brighton and Edinburgh fringe festivals. Definitely a talent to watch and follow; a one-liner comedian that truly feels singular.
