Some of what Dave and Kadeena have to say:

Dave talking about Nirvana: "The three and half years I was in the band was a lifetime. So much changed in that time, not just in music but in the world. 

"It was a beautiful time, a renaissance, and an emotional awaking when people felt it was okay to be themselves. It was amazing.
 
“When Kurt (Cobain) died, and it all ended I didn’t know what to do with my life. I couldn’t listen to music anymore because it hurt too much so I tried to escape and went to Ireland to soul search. 

"I was trying to figure out my life when I picked up a hitchhiker who was wearing a Kurt Cobain t-shirt and I thought, ‘Even in this remote place I can’t outrun life’, so I went home and started over with the Foo Fighters. I needed to survive and get on with life.”

Kadeena, asked about competing in Tokyo with no cheering crowds, says, “We were really lucky because the British team was a big team.  I was really in the zone and once you’re on the start line you can focus on nothing else but yourself.”
 
Talking about changing from track to cycling, she says, “It was by accident - I had a stroke and was diagnosed with MS and after that I had really bad balance and every time I’d try to run I would fall over.  Sitting on a bike was much easier and a year later I was world champion!”
 
Asked how she coped mentally when she was given her diagnosis, she says, “If I dwell on things too long, they don’t go well so within 48 hours I was raising funds to get me back into sport.  I just took the news and ran with it!”

Other guests in the episode are: Taskmaster host and comedian Greg Davies and singer/songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor, with music by Jack Savoretti and Nile Rodgers.
