What is ‘Girl Dinner’? Sep 13, 2025

Show notes

Girl Dinner is a TikTok phenomena though you would be hard pressed to find any recipes as it is more of a style of eating than anything specific.

It’s a term used to describe a meal that consists of random snacks or leftovers, for example, you might have some cheese and crackers, a handful of grapes, a glass of wine and a few pickles for your ‘girl dinner’. Or maybe you just have some popcorn and a diet soda. Or maybe you just go to bed without eating anything at all. That’s also girl dinner.

Where did the term come from? Is girl dinner good or bad for you? What does girl dinner say about our society? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is fatphobia? Sep 13, 2025

Show notes

Being overweight is a stigma. While around 13% of the world’s population are obese, they are largely absent from the public limelight and often find themselves the target of mockery or discrimination. Overweight people are humiliated and ostracised throughout their lives, having to put up with regular criticisms about their lifestyle and appearance. This is what’s known as fatphobia, a form of discrimination which can have a harmful effect on those on the receiving end.

Fatphobia is often left out of discussions on the struggle against different forms of discrimination.

But why are overweight people rejected to such an extent? But whose side are social media on? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How quick is premature ejaculation? Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

According to the British Association of Urinological Surgeons, somewhere between 20 and 30% of men experience premature ejaculation. But of those men, less than a quarter actually seek medical advice.

That’s despite it being an issue that often takes a toll psychologically on the man and the relationship they have with their partner. If it's always been an issue, it's termed primary premature ejaculation; whereas if it occurs after a period of normal ejaculation, it's called "secondary." And various factors can contribute to the condition.

Like what? Just how long do most people have sex for? What should men do if the problem persists? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Are micro naps actually effective? Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

After lunch, many of us get that familiar afternoon slump, an overwhelming urge to just doze off for a little while.

And on weekends or during holidays, it’s easy enough to sneak in a short nap. But at work, it’s another story. Firstly, it simply wouldn’t be practical in a lot of work environments, and even if it was, would you really dare to go for a kip in the middle of the work day? You might be afraid of incurring the wrath of your boss, or giving your colleagues the impression that you’re a slacker.

What’s the ideal nap length then? So should we be encouraging napping in the workplace really then, rather than frowning upon it? What about longer naps? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
