Mouth-Off is a platform for marginalised groups to get their stories heard. Episodes cover a wide range of topics from race and religion to mental health issues and poverty.

This is the fourth part of our BONUS mini-series - Be Pure, Be Vigilant, Behave; which is about Welsh rock band MANIC STREET PREACHERS. In this episode, I chat to author, poet, playwright, and lyricist Patrick Jones.
