Jane and Fi are mostly in agreement today – will wonders never cease! They agree on Rod Stewart’s back catalogue, the buffet rules in heaven, what a bugger it would be to own a harp, and metric vs imperial! But please feel free to correct them on any of these matters...

And Johnny Mercer – army captain turned MP and then veterans minister (twice) – discusses his book 'No Way to Run a Country'.

Welcome to Tuesday. The winding Off Air river continues to meander into your ears. Today, Jane and Fi navigate the waters of deceit in politics and reliable parenting, sail past French protests and sex toys, make a brief detour to Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, before arriving at the poignant shores of Greenham Common. Quite the journey. There's no guest today so enjoy the ride!

Jane and Fi cover grief and Jane’s dad’s parting gift to her (a rescheduled hair appointment that might just persuade her to embrace the grey), the joyful combination of a roast dinner, Lime bike jousting, inherited knees, lengthy lobes, and the experience of meeting people semi-naked...

Welcome to the silly division! Jane is off this week, but she’ll be back next week. In the meantime, Fi and Eve cover the similarities between breast-feeding and boxers, reluctant Traitors, suspicious tumble-dried banknotes, and more performative reading.

Plus, they’re joined by ‘probably a public intellectual’ Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times. He brings his silliness and his book picks for the week, including 'A Past Without Pictures' by Jonathan Ames, 'The Brightness' by Chad Harbach and 'Never Say War' by Åsne Seierstad.

Welcome to Thursday! Fi’s still off with illness and Jane remains in Liverpool, so frankly, morale could do with a boost... Luckily, we’ve got just the thing. Tonight, we bring you Jane and Fi live at The Queen’s Reading Room Festival, in conversation with best-selling writer Harlan Coben.

Fi is powering through, this time with not-ill-yet producer Rosie. They chat right wing dogs, living the high life in the C-suite, and launching a radio station in a pandemic (we don't recommend it).

Liane Moriarty also joins Fi to talk about her new book 'Big Little Truths'

Fi is back, and right now, where there is Fi, there is her cough. We advise listening at a distance. Jane is still in Liverpool with her family, so Eve sits in. Fi and Eve cover uniforms, road rage, planting a placenta under a pear tree, and a geisha version of Barbara Cartland...

Plus, Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times, bursts into the studio to share his book picks. Robbie recommends 'The End of Everything' by M. John Harrison, 'Dodge City' by Patrick deWitt, and 'Hotel Exile' by Jane Rogoyska.

Fi's got a cough, which she thinks she got from Eve, who thinks she got it from Jane. It's a cough train – the worst kind. Bear with us... In between coughs, Fi and Eve chat Fi's new iron, the joys of book clubs, male aggression in the wild, and the rise of athleisure.

Plus, journalist Matthew Sweet discusses his new book 'The Great Dictator: A Life of Barbara Cartland'.

It's the good ship Fi and Eve sailing out of port again, as Jane is in Liverpool with family. They cover performative reading, extensive plumbing, tap-water Pot Noodles, and why funny street names are the gift that keeps on giving...
