It’s time to get topical!
The highly anticipated Wicked film came out this week and guess what… we weren’t invited to the premiere (unlike the rest of Instagram!) We also get serious about the body shaming we’ve seen in the media around Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Why do people feel like it’s okay to talk about their bodies and why are we so reductive when it comes to women?
We also discuss camel anatomy, I’m A Celeb and the love of Em’s life… Hugh Jackman.

Have you ever heard a non-confrontational confrontation with a Just Stop Oil activist? Today we’re speaking to Gill Tavner. She’s a Just Stop Oil campaigner - but perhaps doesn’t fit the image that the media might paint you of one.
Gill was one of the warmest and most lovely people that we’ve spoken to on the podcast. She also has a criminal conviction - for walking in the road as part of a Just Stop Oil slow march.
She tells us how her activism was inspired by increasing desperation and anger about her daughters’ futures and she explains in simple, accessible and clear terms what Just Stop Oil is demanding - and it might not be as extreme as you think.
We know that climate anxiety is a real thing - and we know sometimes it can be easy to avoid difficult conversations about climate change. But Gill makes the conversation digestible and understandable - and she might just make you want to take action.

Even though we have babies - it turns out, we don’t know *that* much about giving birth. So, today on the podcast - we’re talking to Mamadinya… the internet’s favourite’s midwife.
Mamadinya came to the studio to answer everything you’ve always wanted to ask a midwife. What happens if you poo in a birthing pool? If you want to take your placenta home - do they give it to you in a bag? What happens during birth if you have hemorrhoids?
Whether you have kids, want kids, are unsure, or if you're certain they're not for you - Mamadinya throws open the door onto something that most of us probably should know more about. If you're curious about life - this episode is for you.

It’s one of those episodes where we dive into a TikTok curiosity hole - and we end up learning something quite profound on the way. It turns out cleaning is about a lot more than just mess...
Today, we’re speaking to Vicki - who is a biohazard cleaning specialist. You might know her from her TikTok videos - where she shows us what she does for a living - cleaning hoarder houses, crime scenes and anything which involves bodily fluids.
We explore the mental health reasons why someone might become a hoarder, how Vicki copes with the mental strain of her job - and why she choses to use her TikTok income to finance free cleans for those in need.

It's been a very big week on the internet - so we're bringing you a topical episode to reflect on three topics that have felt particularly important for us.
Firstly - take a look at the internet's reaction to the tragic news of Liam Payne's death. The noise on the internet around this topic has felt extraordinarily loud this week - so we discuss the cycle of trolling and tragedy that we have seen play out so many times and how we're feeling about it.
Then, it's time to go back in time because the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back. Have we just taken a massive step back in terms of our collective relationship with body image, or is this a reinvention that was desperately needed?
And talking about society's obsession with thinness - we also chat about the government's conversation about Ozempic as a tool to get people back into the workforce.
In the new year, we will be releasing a series on the podcast dissecting our relationship with body image. If there's something you want us to cover or is if there something you want to tell us: you can email us on shouldideletethatpod@gmail.com!

We have our first Dame on the podcast! The incredible Dame Kelly Holmes joins Em and Alex this week for a honest and vulnerable chat about mental health, motivation and ageing.
Dame Kelly tells us about how her incredible story started when a PE teacher told her she could be good at something - and then, how watching the Olympics inspired a twenty-year long dream of becoming Olympic Champion.
She tells us how she became a world class athlete whilst serving in the Army - and how she defied those who wrote her off because of her age to achieve her dreams, and then why she chose to speak out about the mental health struggles she dealt with during her career.
Where does she find her motivation? How do athletes deal with being put on a pedestal? And more importantly…. how do you ACTUALLY get into the Olympics?

Em tells us the story of a rental handbag that came with a little extra suprise… and we’re also asking why people at weddings won’t explain the economy to us - and why can't they just print more money?

Six years ago, Helen Addis (aka The Titty Gritty) found a lump. Despite having no history of cancer in her family - it was an aggressive form of breast cancer. A week after her diagnosis - she had a masectomy, followed by 18 months of active treatment.
Being well under the screening age, the only person who would have found Helen’s cancer - was Helen.
During her treatment, Helen asked her friends and family if they checked their boobs - and when most of them said no - she made it her mission to spread awareness about checking your breasts. So, she launched the Change+Check campaign - it is a simple sticker which goes on shop and gym changing room mirrors reminding people to check themselves for signs of breast cancer. She also almost got the queen with a pair of boobs on a Royal Mail stamp…
This Breast Cancer Awareness month - Helen is part of a campign to make a life-extending drug called ENHERTU available in England, Wales and Northen Ireland. Despite petitions, protests, campaigns and even government pressure the secondary breast cancer community is being met with constant rejection. They are now fundrasing to raise the legal fees to take legal proceedings to continue the fight for those who need this drug urgently and for the thousands upon thousands who will need it in months and years to come. You can read more about the campaign - and donate here

Alex also has a theory about drinking water… is it all just a conspiracy? We also take a mildly horrifying look at our average step counts and we delve into the world of rejection therapy.
Em’s also had a DM saying that everything was better in our grandparents’ days. Could that possibly true and would we survive in a world without tuna baguettes?

TW: sexual assault, rape, suicide
This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by Gemma Morgan. When Gemma joined the Army, she discovered very quickly how she had to behave as a woman to get by: prove your strength by pushing yourself harder than you ever thought possible, but ensure you act small enough so you don't step on the toes of your male counterparts. This balancing act proved near impossible under the weight of oppressive misogyny deeply entrenched within the structure of the British Armed Forces, where razors were supplied for men to shape their facial hair while sanitary products for her and others that needed them weren't even a consideration. Gemma's Army career didn't go to plan, with trauma, abuse and PTSD all featuring in her story. She explains how she went from outstanding soldier to suffering a near-fatal mental health crisis, and why she is now demanding change. Gemma found help and hope, and wants to show others that they can too.

It is a HUGE day for the podcast... the girls are joined by Em's hero: Marian Keyes! A woman who needs little introduction, Marian is one of the most successful Irish novelists of all time. She released her debut novel, Watermelon, almost thirty years ago, after embarking on a journey of recovery from alcoholism. She tells the girls how becoming sober helped give her the sense of hope she needed to start writing a novel. She also discusses families, life, and the menopause in this fascinating interview. They say don't meet your heroes, but Em is overjoyed that she did!

This week, Em and Alex are joined by founder of Motherkind, Zoe Blaskey! After a rollercoaster of an email from a listener last week, the girls were feeling a bit deflated. It was beginning to feel like there wasn't enough space to be open about the realities of motherhood, and that it wasn't clear to listeners how happy they were despite finding things hard. This is where Zoe came in to clear things up. Zoe is on a mission to help mothers shift from guilt, exhaustion and comparison to confidence and empowerment. She explains why a mother's instinct isn't innate, what matrescence is and why you shouldn't tell mothers that they will get back to their "old self". This enlightening conversation is for mothers, future mothers, those questioning whether they want to be mothers and those who have decided against parenthood all together!

In this week's podcast, Em and Alex are joined by writer and influencer Callie Thorpe. Callie's content focusses on travel and wellbeing, but it didn't start out this way. Callie is plus-size, and over the years has been scrutinised for her appearance: namely over a 'controversial' Cosmopolitan magazine cover where she was featured. Callie talks about recovering from the backlash of the cover, the fear of letting women down by stepping out of the limelight and how she rebuilt her confidence, brick by brick. Callie explains how she rediscovered herself by living a joyful existence, and why she wants to share this joy online.

This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by the hosts of the Mixed Up podcast, Emma Slade Edmondson and Nicole Ocran! Nicole and Emma met back in 2018 and when they started chatting, they realised they had something in common that they hadn't spoken about in depth with even their family before: being mixed-race. After jokingly suggesting that their discussion should be a podcast, they launched the critically acclaimed Mixed Up podcast and have now written a book called The Half of It. In this episode, they discuss the ways in which being mixed-race is misunderstood, why many mixed-race people feel as though they can't comment on race issues, and why no one really discussed identity when they were younger. They also chat about privilege, the complex history of mixed-race people and the stereotypes that are pushed upon them.

In this week's episode, the girls are in their brand new studio ready to discuss what's been happening with Em over the past few months. She's been growing another baby! As you are probably aware from her last pregnancy, Em suffers with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a debilitating, chronic condition caused by a reaction to a particular pregnancy hormone which causes severe nausea, vomiting and dehydration and, in Em's case, can last an entire pregnancy. Em details her experience with HG, the internet's reaction to her announcement and the inevitable, horrendous trolls that emerge when she chose to be vulnerable. To top off the conversation, Em shares the awkward to end all awkwards that she's been holding on to for well over a week now...

Lorna's reign on Instagram has long been symbolised by aesthetic perfection, which, as she explains in this conversation, ultimately stems from addictive tendencies. Lorna started as an air hostess, but as her eating disorder began to take over,her ability to work was impacted. Losing the job that was her whole identity meant she had to work out another way to find herself. Lorna talks us through this journey to recovery, all things beauty, ageism, the choice to be child-free and her relationship with Mr Luxe!

This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by journalist Billie Bhatia! Back in February, the Sunday Times published an article written by Billie all about her desire to lose weight and the difficulties she has faced in the process. The girls wanted to talk to Billie and confront their own conflicting feelings and values as they are immersed in an online culture where self acceptance is key. The fear around publishing this episode is that it could trigger listeners, and despite it being purposefully confronting, if you feel the need to skip this episode, do what you need to do! This conversation dives deep into the thin ideal, the fear we have around calories, what it means to be happy and why, exactly, does Billie have the right to lose weight?

In today’s episode, Em and Alex are joined by model, motivational speaker and content creator Sian Green-Lord. Sian and Em have paired up with ASICS for their latest campaign, 15 Minute Weight Loss, to remind people of the importance of exercise for their mental health. In 2013, Sian underwent a leg amputation after an accident on holiday. Sian shares how the accident affected her life, her body and her mental health. Sian found that exercise did wonders for her mind, and after feeling like an outsider and an imposter at the gym, she quickly focussed on how much her body was capable of doing. Sian went from hiding herself to proudly displaying her prosthetic leg. The girls even set you some homework at the start of this episode…

This week on the podcast, the girls are joined by Dr Amanda Brown. Twenty years ago, Amanda was content working as a GP at a quiet, suburban family practice, with many patients she'd seen throughout their entire lives. One day, after a shock meeting, she decided to leave the practice with no idea what was coming next. Out of the blue, she was asked if she wanted to take a shift at a prison. Despite never even thinking doctors worked in prisons, Amanda went on to have the most fulfilling years in her career as a prison doctor. She worked in both men's and women's prisons and talks us through their differences. She also shares why women are being failed in the prison system and how she only ever once had to ring the panic button.

This week on the pod, Em and Alex are joined by the brilliant Jackie Adedeji. When Jackie was 11, she woke up to find she had FF cup boobs. She was unable to do the things her peers around her were doing, limited by the size of her breasts. Jackie was shamed into feeling as though her breasts made her a burden, and strongly considered getting a breast reduction. However, she decided practiced body neutrality as a stepping stone towards self acceptance. Jackie is now thriving, but it isn't always easy. Her energy is joyous, and you can follow her on Instagram @ohmygoshitsjackie or check out her Channel 4 documentary here: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/my-big-boobs-untold/on-demand/74692-001

After an accident six years ago that almost took her life, Milly had to have one of her legs amputated.

This week on the podcast, the girls are joined by model Felicity Hayward! Over the course of Felicity's twelve-year modelling career, she started noticing that although brands wanted to use her to represent plus-sized people, they weren't actually increasing the sizing range of their clothing or making their products more accessible for larger people. Tired of being used as a gimmick to boost brands' false facade of inclusivity, Felicity invented the hashtag #IncludingTheCurve to shine a light on authentically inclusive brands and designers. Keen to make a long-term impact on the fashion industry, Felicity has continued to analyse every single show at every fashion week, persisting in her mission to discover who is and isn't making real changes. Felicity dives deep with the girls about the realities of modelling, her love of fashion and why she boycotted the British Fashion Awards...

Today, we share one of our most highly requested episodes. It’s an interview with Em’s Mum! Having favoured smoking and drinking over exercise her entire life, Francie was given the opportunity to partake in an Ironman and said yes… without knowing what it actually was. An Ironman is a gruelling triathlon that consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a marathon. Yep, a 26.2 mile run ON TOP of all that. Francie’s can-do attitude and endless hard work pushed her to compete in 10 Ironmans over the course of her 50s. Francie takes us through her extraordinary journey, how she still experiences imposter syndrome and you will see why Em is her number one fan (soon you will be too)!

This week, Em and Alex are joined by personal trainer and OG Instagram influencer Alice Liveing. When Alice started using social media, the support and praise she received from the online world kept her afloat; but soon, her desire for virtual validation had become all-encompassing, and she realised it was preventing her from truly knowing herself. She knew she needed to accept her whole self, and this meant accepting that she wasn’t perfect. She and the girls discuss how little space is given to existing imperfectly online. Alice also shares her heartbreaking experience of living through an abusive relationship.

TW: Suicide
This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by Married at First Sight UK contestant Gemma Rose Barnes. Gemma wanted the perfect partner to complete her life, and so she signed up to MAFS in the belief that she was going to find just that, even getting a tattoo in honour of this man who she hadn’t met yet. She ended up becoming a controversial figure on MAFS due to her willingness to make crude jokes and openly talk about sex. She shares that her words were edited and taken out of context, and that her new husband’s keenness was edited out all together. Gemma experienced various mental health and addiction struggles, exacerbated due to the show, and had to make a change. Now sober, Gemma shares the reality behind this “reality” TV show, and how we as viewers need to take a more discerning attitude towards it.
EDIT- A Channel 4 Spokesperson said: "Contributor care and wellbeing is of paramount importance and appropriate support is available to contributors before, during and after broadcast. Any concerns raised by contributors about safety would always be taken extremely seriously and we would take prompt and appropriate action when needed. Any action taken would always be agreed with the cast members involved to ensure they were satisfied with the resolution and outcome. Contributors are able to leave the process at any time. During filming, alcohol consumption is at the discretion of individuals, but it is monitored and limited by the production team and contributor welfare is always prioritised. All broadcast episodes of MAFS U.K. are a fair and accurate reflection of the events that took place."

This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by social housing activist Kwajo Tweneboa. Kwajo grew up in social housing, and his family were housed in inhabitable conditions: unsafe spaces riddled with mould, cockroaches, mice, leaks and damp. Kwajo’s father was diagnosed with cancer and, whilst being nursed in this environment, passed away from his illness. After receiving little to no help in making their home habitable, Kwajo decided enough was enough, and gathered evidence from over 500 tenants that lived on his estate; this enabled them to shame their housing association into finally carrying out the works that were needed. From there, Kwajo has been continuing the fight, shaming landlords and housing associations across the UK into providing safe, sanitary homes for all.

This week, the girls are joined by creator, cancer survivor and close friend Georgie Swallow. At 26, Georgie was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma. Without any time to think, she had to jump into chemotherapy to save her life. The only way to get through the exhausting and devastating process was to remain positive and power through. Now, after a second diagnosis and treatment, Georgie is living life at her healthiest. However, this doesn’t mean that cancer doesn’t still cause her daily issues. From infertility to gut health issues, Georgie marches through each day, and as the girls say, all while exuding sunshine. Georgie uses her platform to spread joy, body confidence and share what life is like after cancer.

Shenae was alone in Hollywood, navigating her late teens, and grappling with misinformation and harassment from the tabloid press. This newfound attention caused rifts within the cast and meant that she felt more alone than when she arrived to the States. Shenae shares her story, smashes the misconceptions invented by the tabloids, and discusses life beyond 90210.

This week on the pod, the girls talk to author, podcaster and former chief content officer of goop, Elise Loehnen. Elise has co-written twelve books, five of which have been New York Times bestsellers, and Em and Alex are joined by her to discuss her latest, On Our Best Behaviour: The Price Women Pay to be Good.
Why can women rarely recover from their failures? Why is the patriarchy so devastating to boys and men?
Elise shares her manifesto, which argues that the seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride) have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. This fascinating theory expands on our episode with Jameela Jamil, back in January 2022, in which the girls spoke about why, as a society, we build women up only to tear them down.

In this week’s episode, Em and Al are joined in the studio by Charlie Craggs, a British transgender actress, activist, and author from London. Charlie talks about her recent experience in court, where she was fighting a trans hate crime. She talks about how she was misgendered in court, and how the court handled her case by letting her attacker off, and what message this sends.
From this, Charlie is setting up free self defence classes for trans women, to ensure other trans people feel safe in public. The three discuss activism online and the media’s role in the debate around trans rights.

On this episode, Alex and Em are joined by Caggie Dunlop, who you may recognise from the earliest iteration of Made in Chelsea. Caggie's late twenties were a mixture of confusion and instability, seeing her friends settling down and having babies just as her life seemed to be at its most turbulent. Then she was introduced to the astrological concept of Saturn returns, which made her understand she wasn't alone in her discomfort. Now, with a podcast and a new book dedicated to Saturn returning, Caggie shares her story and this concept with Alex and Em. And it does happen to send Em into a bit of a spin...

This week on the podcast, Em and Alex chat to Marla McEntire. Her pregnancy was not traditional by any stretch, most notably because Marla actually had no idea that she was pregnant. She only found out 40 weeks into her pregnancy, when she went to the bathroom and after pushing, she realised a baby was in the toilet! This is Marla’s baffling, incredible and heart-warming story…

When Louise started her instagram to aid her modelling career, she never thought that hilarious videos of her impersonating a toddler with a high pitched voice effect and tiny plastic hands would be what catapulted her professional life. Now, three kids later, almost half a million instagram followers and a book being released in June, Louise shows that Mama really has still got It...

This week, the girls have possibly their funnest interview yet! They sit down with content creator, choreographer and dancer Austyn Farrell. During the first lockdowns, Austen starred in some incredible viral videos that showed him entertaining his neighbours and anyone who happened to walk past. His videos even caught the attention of Kim Kardashian, who shared his impersonation of her on her own socials! Austyn has been a beacon of joy and light on the internet, despite sometimes struggling through some pretty dark times himself. Austyn shares his story, including his battles with mental health, but still manages to make Em and Alex laugh all the while.

This week on the pod, Alex and Em are joined by chef and writer Alasdair (Ali) Gill. Ali and Em - whose parents were close friends - have been mates for years. Ali’s late father is the renowned journalist, author and critic A. A. Gill. Like his father, Ali has suffered with addiction, which led him on a journey to rehab; it was there, during his recovery, that he sought comfort in his father’s memoir, which details his own struggles with alcohol. Though this moment came after his father’s death, Ali felt seen, and finally understood that he wasn’t alone.

This week, the girls chat to Laura Mathias. Laura was 13 when she started losing her hair. No one could help her – not her mum, her friends or even her doctor. She was told, as a teenager, that stress was contributing to her development of alopecia. Stress management wasn’t easy, how could it be at that age? And as Laura’s hair continued to fall out, she finally plucked up the courage to ask for a wig. Now, almost two decades later, Laura has found herself finally ready to accept herself and her baldness. She’s starred in photoshoots, appeared on national television and even walked a runway, all without her wig. Laura wants other women and young girls with alopecia to not feel the helplessness that she did. Laura’s confidence #journey is incredible, and Em and Alex are so proud to share her story.

This week on the podcast, the girls talk to Sarah de Lagarde. In September 2022, Sarah was involved in a freak accident that would change her life forever. After falling asleep on the tube, Sarah woke up and realised that she had slept past her stop. Like anyone in that situation would, she promptly got up and raced over towards another train that would get her home. As she did, she slipped on the wet platform and the unimaginable happened: she tripped and ended up falling down onto the tracks. Sarah lost her arm and her leg after the train took off, and with sheer determination she shouted for help by saying “My name is Sarah, I don’t want to die”. Twenty minutes later, after what must have felt like an eternity, someone finally heard her and got her the help she needed. Almost four months on from the accident, Sarah joined Alex and Em in the studio to discuss the incident and how she has managed to get through it all so gracefully.

This week, Alex and Em talk to Iranian feminist activist Samaneh Savadi. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been experiencing turmoil as a result of the government’s misogynistic regime and the murders of many protestors and dissenters.
After noticing their story views drop significantly whenever they spoke out about this issue, the girls wanted to bring a deeper awareness of it to themselves and to others by talking to Samaneh about her understanding and experience. Samaneh herself cannot go home to Iran out of fear of being arrested, or worse, for speaking out and campaigning for women’s rights. She suggests that one of the best ways to help women in Iran is by continuing to speak out, so hopefully this episode gives you the impetus to do so.

This week on the podcast, the girls meet influencer and reality TV star Georgia Harrison. Em and Alex wanted to talk to Georgia about how, over the past few years, she has been living a nightmare after falling victim to revenge porn. Her ex, sex offender and fellow reality TV star, Stephen Bear, non-consensually recorded him and Georgia having sex. He spread the video across the internet, subsequently profiting from it, which became an all-consuming battle for Georgia as she fought to not only remove the video, but to have Bear convicted. The girls get the details of this betrayal, the brave steps Georgia took to prosecute and how it felt when she finally saw justice.

This week, in the run up to Christmas, Em and Al speak have decided to turn the spotlight onto Ukraine. With the war still raging on, the girls wanted to understand more about what was happening on the ground and what we can all do to help. First, they spoke to Ukrainian lawyer Nadiya Bilous who is on the board of Dattalion. Dattalion is an open-source database containing Ukraine war footage and a list of verified eyewitnesses to the invasion. Founded and run by women, it was created to fight disinformation. They then spoke to Liza, a musician who escaped Ukraine (and coincidentally lives with previous guest Lizzie Pickering in the UK) about the emotional impact of fleeing her home.

They discuss debt and mortgages and recessions, and Makala shares a breakdown of what a pension actually is...

This week, Em and Alex talk to former Love Island contestant Andrew Le Page. His very public misstep and subsequent apology went viral as he uttered “I sucked on her tits or whatever…”. These simple words sent the general public into a tailspin while Andrew, living in Mallorca with the UK’s most eligible singles and no access to the outside world, was completely oblivious to the frenzied response. He shares what this was like, opens up about his relationship with Tasha, and enlightens the girls with some production secrets (our fave!).
Alex and Em teased this announcement on socials, and you might already know what’s coming, but listen to find out what exactly it is that they’ve been hiding!

Jules started out in fashion and fell into spray tanning, and while his relationship with his own body suffered, he was uplifting women day in and day out as they entered the booth for a bit of fun and a glimmer of hope. Jules shares his own body confidence journey, and how that was influenced by the thousands of women he spray tanned over the years. He certainly still has the ability to uplift and put one at ease, and we hope you feel that from this conversation.

Through opening up that space, Soma was inundated with stories from survivors and has dedicated her time to assist in making a change. She shares her belief in the importance of empathy, compassion and understanding, and how this, above all else, is the key to making that change. With a rapidly changing world that is increasingly focussed online, and where 9 out of 10 school girls are pestered to send nudes, this change couldn’t come quicker.

After sharing a clip of Tyra Banks telling a America’s Next Top Model contestant to eat a burger without the bread, Alex was sent a DM. The message was from that very model, Keenyah Hill, who had been essentially told to eat less by Tyra on cycle 4 of ANTM. Keenyah, 19 at the time, had also been compared to an elephant by the judges, and edited in a way that exaggerated how much and how often she was eating. Keenyah wanted to share her version of events, how being on ANTM affected her life and what it taught her about the real world of modelling. Now a pose coach and model mentor, Keenyah teaches aspiring models how to be confident in themselves and let that confidence carry them through.

Due to Shaaba’s family having problems with their relationship, they had to make some pretty bold commitments to one another at a young age. Em can't wait to adapt their gorgeous love story into a film! Would suggest staying until the end to hear a pretty brilliant outtake.

Jac’s back… another emergency call to our resident coach Jacqueline Hurst. This week, Em opens up about her slip into checking online forums. She talks to Jacqueline about how it has really impacted her self esteem, and Jac helps dissect exactly why. This isn’t only for people who, on the off chance, may find themselves being spoken about on a forum, but for anyone who has ever been criticised. Jacqueline wants to show you how to not let it impact you, and as Al sees it, how you can use your skin as a barrier against negativity.
In a slightly switched format to usual, the girls discuss snapping gussets, foul moods and why we should all #PrayForDave at the end of the episode...

This week, we've got a slightly different episode that saw us take the podcast into central London to join the Women’s Equality Party as they Marched On The Met.
When we initially contacted Patsy Stevenson, we thought this would be a standard interview week, but then we realised that there was much more that needed to be shared. Patsy attended the Sarah Everard vigil on Clapham Common in March 2021; she quickly became synonymous with the arrests that took place that day, carried out by police who saw the vigil as a breach of covid regulations. Her face was suddenly everywhere, the face of the unrest that happened when women's attempts to mourn were crushed.
The story is bigger than this though. After Patsy shared her thoughts on what really happened that day, we followed her to Trafalgar Square to join a protest against institutional misogyny and racism within the police. We heard from some incredible women there, and wanted to share their thoughts with you.
The speakers you heard from today were:

Laura and Lauren had Alex on to chat about diet culture, loving your clothes, and the f***ed up beauty standards that come with weddings.

This week has been a tough one for Em and Al since hearing that their friend, Dame Deborah James, is now receiving end-of-life care for her battle with cancer. Em pops in to say a few words about Deb, and we encourage you to donate the cost of a drink (the girls reckon a rosé, as you will hear!) to the Bowelbabe Fund to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
The girls have the honour of being graced by feminist royalty, Laura Bates. Laura is the author of now six books including her latest, Fix The System Not The Women. Although troubling and shocking, Laura's message is filled with hope and optimism for future generations to work and fight towards equality.

This week, Alex and Em interviewed Candice Brathwaite for their first ever live episode! The recording took place on International Women's Day at George's FENOMENAL festival, a day dedicated to celebrating and redefining femininity. Candice talks about childbirth and how, as a black woman, her concerns were dismissed and she was almost fatally mistreated, an all too common experience that is explored further in her first book I Am Not Your Baby Mother (link below). The girls also explore And Just Like That, the pitfalls of comparison and, of course, Candice's incredible style...

On the release of this episode, it didn’t feel right to ignore or fail to address the tragic, heartbreaking developments in Ukraine.
Depending on our schedules, we often pre-record our episodes before they goes live and for this reason, we haven’t acknowledged the devastating events that are currently unfolding in this upcoming episode.
While we’re still not entirely sure what we can do to help in even the smallest way, we are currently speaking with trusts and charities on how best to bring more light to the situation and share with you. Unfortunately, time isn’t always on our side and we haven’t been able to make this happen as quickly as we would have hoped.
We’re sending love out to everyone and hope that we can help direct you to channels that share the facts on the situation and also what we as individuals can do to help.
