Episode 13 - Paul tours with Ian Brown, acts in Happy Mondays movie 24 Hour Party People and works with Machine Gun Kelly

In this hilarious and poignant podcast which finished recording just 12 days before Paul Ryder passed away and reached the number one position in the UK and Ireland Music Podcast charts, Paul opens up to tell his entire life story - the complete story of his time with the band he founded - Happy Mondays - detailing the triumphs as well as the terrible struggles he endured with addiction, mental health breakdowns and more. In this episode he forms a new band named by Ian Brown - Big Arm - and supports Ian on two tours. He describes almost getting arrested in New York during the filming of one of his videos, and actor Paul Popplewell, who played the part of Paul Ryder in the film 24 Hour Party People talks about the close bond they formed and Paul reveals the hilarious reason why he was particularly pleased that Paul Popplewell was given the role. Rock n Roll Mums Linda Ryder and Sandra Whelan give their less than enthusiastic review of the film. John Robb talks about working with Paul on an ITV show and Happy Mondays drummer Gaz Whelan talks about Paul's terrible stage fright. The episode ends with the dramatic fire breaking out that burned the family's French chateau.
