Our guest for the finale of S2 is *GASP* Sir Simon Rattle! He joins us with inspiring stories from his amazing conducting career, plus tips on keeping your confidence and why it's very important to understand who pays National Insurance. We have literally never been this starstruck.

Because everyone knows that playing with other people is the best part of being a musician. The excellent (and hilarious) violinist Pekka Kuusisto is our guest for this episode on musical collaboration, where we learned how it feels to be a sixth desk violinist.

Jazz trumpeter Alexandra Ridout is our guest for this totally spontaneous episode (in which Sam, predictably, is the most chillaxed member of the BBCYM podcast team). Does anyone... sing?
