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.

We’re feeling *tousled* for today’s Is It Just Me!
Join Em and Al for a mini spelling bee and a *very* high-brow discussion about Naked Attraction and the Netflix show that everyone is talking about… Rivals. Is the world ready for a David Tennant sex scene? And do we all have a crush on Danny Dyer now?

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 [email protected]!

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?

This week - Alex has a fresh batch of beef with TikTok for uniniviting her to an event (AGAIN) - so we’ve decided to spill the tea on influencer events... is it all just posing for pics and not speaking to each other?
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

On today’s podcast we have a live unboxing… is this the beginning of our new career as ASMR-tists?
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?

If you’re dating, if you’re dealing with a difficult break up or if you just need a postive spin on a tough situation - this is the episode for you.
The brilliant life coach, activist and author Michelle Elman joins Em and Alex in the studio today - to speak candidly about her engagement ending earlier this year, and how she’s thrived in the subsequent months.
One Instagram DM completely changed the course of Michelle's life - but she tells us why she chose forgiveness, why she started sharing that she was dating this summer, and how that has helped her to heal.

Sooooo, we got stood up by a guest. Will it lead to a negative thought spiral? We’re about to find out!
Em has a cringe wedding-related IIJM for us and we also attempt to unpack why pregnant women who cheat on their partners are treated differently to men who chat on their pregnant partners.
Meanwhile - we’re back on the Housewives… and we find out about Em’s longest relationship… with a man called Gary.

Get ready to be fired up because today we’re bringing you an accidentally ragey episode - it's time to read the Daily Mail Showbiz section together…
We’re also asking if pregnant women should be showing off their bumps more in public, and whether you can be friends with someone you disagree with politically.

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.
If you have been affected by any topics in this episode, or you want to talk to someone, you can call the Samaritans free, anytime, at 116 123

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!
You can buy any of Marian's books from her website here: https://www.mariankeyes.com/books/
