Today we’re discussing break-ups… the good, the bad and the conscious uncouplings. 

We’ve had a good old chat with Rosie Wilby – Rosie’s a standup comic, a podcaster and an author. In her latest book, The Break Up Monologues she examines through her own experiences, stories from others and also experts on the topic what we can learn from our break-ups, why they’re vital parts of our personal growth and badges to be worn with pride rather than shame.

SEE LIVE COMEDY in Tunbridge Wells OR on “Facebook Live”, Thursday 17th June, with Rich Wilson, Jen Brister (Live At The Apollo), Alex Lowe (AKA Clinton Baptiste from Phoenix Nights) and Aimee Cooper. Stand up (with actual standing up). Tix also available to be in the audience at the Forum, Tunbridge Wells.

Otherwise, strap in for a proper take-down of Prince William's statement about the enquiry into the BBC & Martin Bashir yesterday. Everything in this episode is our personal opinion and we have zero proof to back it up and it might all be rubbish, but it'll get you thinking.

Danusia Malina-Derben has 10 kids, she’s an entrepreneur and expert in Leadership in big business, hosts two podcasts - School For Mothers and School For Fathers. Her new book is a long overdue part of a bigger conversation that she’s been facilitating for some time already - Noise: A Manifesto Modernising Motherhood is a mix of research and memoir and also actioning through questions and consideration. It’s relatable and funny and exploring, never preachy.

Otherwise, join the outrage conga as we reference the UK’s collective deep-throating of the Union Jack Flag last week prior to Prince Phillip's funeral, dip a controversial toe into the Body Positivity Movement, scoff at anti-vaxxers & reassert that skinny jeans are OUT. Plus, enjoy Louise's self-tanning fuck-up… it’s a good’un

Magazine journalist and founder of men's website The Book of Man, Martin Robinson joins us to chat about the chaos of modern masculinity and his book You Are Not The Man You Are Supposed To Be in which he examines some of the most pressing concerns facing men today, including violence, suicide and the spectre of toxic masculinity... all sounds a bit doom & gloom, BUT Martin is funny, insightful, informative and sensitive and we had lots of laughs!

In Control: Dangerous Relationships and How They End In Murder - author Professor Jane Monckton-Smith joins us to discuss coercive relationships and how they escalate to murder. The numbers here are high and society's a bit clueless about the issues around it. Shockingly, many of us will recognise Jane's Homicide Timeline either in relationships we've had ourselves or in those of others.

Jane's book is fascinating, horrifying & totally unputdownable: In Control: Dangerous Relationships And How They End In Murder

Today’s guest is Dr Phillippa Kaye talking to us about her new book Doctors Get Cancer Too which is her memoir of being a doctor and a patient with cancer… Phillippa was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May 2019.

Phillippa started writing this for herself as a way of offloading the emotional challenges when she was diagnosed and going through treatment. She decided to publish her memoirs to help others in a similar situation. In Doctors Get Cancer Too she generously shares her experience and knowledge. Her book is an excellent resources for those with a cancer diagnosis and also for those who are supporting someone going through it.

This week’s guests are The Scummy Mummies, comedians Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn… of course you’ve heard of them - their hilarious podcast has over 4 million downloads and is listened to in 150 countries and their stand-up comedy shows around the UK are always a sell-out.  The podcast started 7 years ago as a brutally honest account of parenting and has evolved into an account of being women in their 40s. 

They have no shortage of really big name guests because they’re absolutely adored and respected so we were really honoured to have them and loved every minute of chatting!
