Pop Star Philosophy

Broadcaster and comedian Steve Punt scours the archives to exhume the often pretentious and opinionated philosophical outpourings of pop stars through the ages.

Featuring some surprising soundbites from the archive, Steve explores the concept of the pop star as philosopher.

From pop star hobbies, to politics and theories of aliens and the Illuminati, Steve uncovers the attempts of pop stars to make sense of a chaotic world.
