A sober-curious Christmas - with Millie Gooch

Al (aka Revolting Santa Claus) has come into the studio today armed with many, many, many awkwards for us. We also pull back the curtain a bit and read some of your comments on our latest episodes… turns out, we’re VERY responsive to feedback. It really does help us out if you rate and follow the show on your podcast platforms - so we’d LOVE it if you could leave us a good review if you love the show! Five stars pretty pleeeeeeasseeee! And we also chat about Al’s recent experience of being turned into a deepfake - and what it tells us about the fragility of women’s reputations in comparison to men - particularly in light of Russell Brand’s recent rape and sexual assault charges. Have you managed to have an even more awkward week than Al? We want to know about it.

Em was thirty minutes late to the studio today - she arrived looking fabulous and with a tale to tell… it was a hell of a 12 hours to be Em (or her hair). We also discuss mispronouncing words in a professional capacity and the true meaning of the phrase 'take heed'.Listener Vanessa emailed us about the first all female space flight - so we dive into the questions that it has raised about girl boss feminism, tokenism and billionaire vanity projects.

Sometimes, however, the more sensible decision is to stop - and that is what was right for Anna Hart and her husband. Anna is content creator, interiors planner and digital strategist. After starting her IVF journey during lockdown, and after three unsuccessful rounds - they made the decision to stop. This is a side of the IVF conversation we don’t often hear about - Anna tells us about what she went through and how she has found happiness after coming out the other side of IVF without a baby.
