Covid-19 hasn’t gone away and, due to travel restrictions, neither has Louis Theroux. In the second outing of his podcast series, he tracks down more high-profile guests he’s been longing to talk to - a fascinating mix of the celebrated, the controversial and the mysterious. In the latest episode, Louis has a remote conversation with musician and actor Tahliah Debrett Barnett, better know as FKA twigs. They discuss being trolled online and her love for Adam Ant and Shakespears Sister. Twigs also speaks out about her relationship with Shia LaBeouf. Producer: Paul Kobrak Assistant Producers: Catherine Murnane and Molly Schneider A Mindhouse production for BBC Radio 4
You are about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about what goes into making one.
I'm Siddhartha Sese, an Assistant Commissioner of podcasts for BBC Sounds.
I pull a lot of levers to support a diverse range of podcasts on all sorts of subjects.
Relationships, identity, comedy, even one that mixes poetry, music and inner city life.
So one day I'll be helping hosts develop their ideas, the next back checking a feature, and the next looking at how a podcast connects with its audience.
And maybe that's you.
So if you like this podcast, check out some others on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I'm Louis Theroux and this is Grounded with Louis Theroux, my podcast series for Radio 4 in which I talk to people I've been itching to meet, but doing it remotely via the Internet.
I can hear you.
Whether Twiggs can hear us is a different question.
Yeah, I can hear you.
Can you hear me?
Today's guest is FKA Twigs, a singer, songwriter, dancer, actor and all round artist and performer whose two genre bending albums, LP1 and Magdalene have brought her international acclaim.
I'm not the best person with technology, I'm not gonna lie.
This edition is a little different in that it comes in two very different parts.
Oh, I hope I've done this right.
Fingers crossed.
