Imagery is everywhere, trying to tell us something, sell us something, or make us feel something. So this episode we look at graffiti, contentious as it always is, and how we feel about having someone else’s perception of art forced into the public space.

And then we move onto the most controversial T-shirt of all time – the loved and reviled ‘Vestal Masturbation’ shirt, from legendary British Black Metal band Cradle of Filth.

So listen in as I talk to the band’s front man, Dani Filth, about the history of the shirt, what happened, and what he really feels about it.
