’80s icons and longtime pals Boy George and Marilyn are considering partnering for a new podcast.

The duo have been close since their days dominating the charts and, according to Marilyn, they’ve been discussing opening up their narrative for fans in a new audio show.

Taking to Twitter he penned: “I am loving our regular in depth conversations @BoyGeorge!!

“It’s so wonderful to have grown up dialogue,” added the star. “We should think about doing that podcast idea!!

I am loving our regular in depth conversations @BoyGeorge!! It’s so wonderful to have grown up dialogue!! We should think about doing that podcast idea!! I think folks would be interested to tune in!! 🥰🌟🧡

“I think folks would be interested to tune in!!

A podcast would no doubt be a thrill to fans, who recently watched the pair fall out publicly on social media over the Culture Club star’s forthcoming movie biopic ‘Karma Chameleon’.

Hitting up the site, the Calling Your Name star accused George of snubbing him from the project, writing: “They are going to have to tell his story without any references to me or my character.

“I’m sure it’ll be fascinating without my inclusion all the same.”

George hit back, writing: “I have zero against the dear thing. Her fight is purely with herself… I have only love for the trout but will I put up with the antics.”

But speculation their long-running friendship was over appears to be premature, with Marilyn confirming in a follow-up post the pair had aired their issues over the phone and “potentially” made peace with one another. 

“Just had a lovely 2hr conversation with @BoyGeorge and I think that the film situation is potentially sorted,” he penned. “I must say that I do love it so much when we get on!! He really is an incredible person, after all is said and done.”

The Karma Chameleon hitmaker previously insisted social media was partly to blame for their disagreement, insisting, “So much nuance can get mislaid in online communication.”
