In the 8+ years of this pod we haven't invited many guests back for a second appearance - but we knew we had to make an exception for Fern Britton. Small screen royalty Fern is a TV pioneer and a woman we can ALL learn from.

Now living in Cornwall, writing her incredibly successful novels and back on our screens with 'Inside the Vets' on ITV she shares her knowledge on coping with children leaving home, how to live without regret and how to deal with unwanted approaches in a restaurant (you'll want to hear this one!)

She's always good company so I hope you enjoy this episode.

Cheers

We do like to ponder our selections from the cellar - and when we finished recording Seann Walsh we knew exactly who to pair his episode with - so please enjoy a bottle of the finest Jack Dee.

Jack joined us back in 2024 to talk about what was then his new podcast with Seann 'For the Love of Dog' - a sort of canine 'Parenting Hell'

The podcast's still going strong, and Seann was great last week - so what better time than to revisit a classic episode with the one and only, Jack Dee.

Enjoy!

Seann Walsh doesn't want us to mention his tour merchandise in these show notes (you'll hear why) so instead here's his tour schedule.

There's so much more to Seann than the headlines you've inevitably read, and it was great to sit down with him for a chat about parenting, perspective and why he's stopped selling his tour merch.

We also got ALL the goss from THAT I'm A Celebrity final - what did go on during the ad breaks, and what's going on in the contestant's WhatsApp group?

It's a lovely listen and you can hear ALL THREE questions in this episode.

Cheers,

Is the Wimbledon music playing constantly in your head this week?

Do you smirk at the suggestion of 'new balls please'?

Is Today at Wimbledon a must watch?

If so you'll love what we've selected from our archive to bring you today.

Judy Murray has been the matriarch of British tennis over the past decade - not just by virtue of bring mum to two of the greatest homegrown players to have ever the courts of SW19. Judy is a massive advocate of women's sport - and as you'll hear in this interview from a couple of years ago when she puts her mind to something she achieves it!

This episode is best enjoyed with a small tub of strawberries & cream. About £2.50 if made at home, about £25 at you know where.

Enjoy!

Naga Munchetty has been on our wish-list for a long time, and we're thrilled to have her as the guest on this episode.

Her new book It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations on the Women’s Health Crisis (and How to Thrive Despite It) is out now and it's a strong recommend. It exposes the truth about how women seeking help with their health have been repeatedly failed, drawing on Naga's own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed.

In this conversation Naga talks about her health battles, dealing with chronic pain, and how women can refuse to just 'settle'

It's a fascinating chat - and as ever we'd love to hear from you - so let us know what you think. You can DM us or email [email protected]

Cheers!

Fancy a classic interview from our cellar? Well you're in the right place.

A couple of years ago we spoke to DJ Fat Tony - who might not be a household name - but BOY has he seen and done it all, and by all, we mean ALL.

It's an extraordinary, and often shocking story, so strap in!

We'll be back with a brand new episode on Thursday.

Cheers!

Welcome back to part 2 of our chat with Vicky Pattison - and if you've seen any of Vicky's series Maybe Baby you'll know that her discussions around parenting can be extremely honest and emotional.

Here Vicky answers one of YOUR questions - and it concerns fertility and starting a family. There are tears. We love Vicky for her honesty.

Cheers!

This week it's a WELCOME BACK to Vicky Pattison - she's completing her hat-trick of episodes, and it's quite an emotional one.

In this part we chat about the women who she credits as saving her life, her reflections on reality television and her approach to the haters. We always love having Vicky on the show - on every appearance she's shown us a more mature side to herself that was there all along, but for so many years she wasn't in charge of her own narrative. Well now she is and we're here for it.

Part 2 will be out on Saturday as Weekend Wine Question Time - and make sure you come back for that - it's truly emotional as we talk motherhood.

As ever - thanks for listening - hope you enjoy the episode.

Cheers!

Continuing our mini-series of World Cup inspired episodes from our archive - this week it's the turn of the Gabby Logan - she'll be fronting much of the BBC's coverage this Summer, but we caught up last year and spoke our plenty more than just the beautiful game!

Come on England... and Scotland!

Cheers!

WARNING: This episode contains mentions of Ben Shephard's For Skin. For the avoidance of ANY doubt - For Skin is the name of his new skincare brand (with Joel Dommett) but it's funny to say... and Kate says it A LOT in this episode.

This is Ben's second appearance on the podcast and he's always welcome - fun fact - Kate named her son (Ben) after Ben Shephard - so as you can imagine - there's a lot of love between the two - and it makes for an exceptional conversation.
