28 Feb 2022 | Debunking Diet Myths with Dr. Joshua Wolrich | 01:30:48 | |
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. This week, we grill Dr. Joshua Wolrich on common dieting misconceptions. He busts myths about sugar, gluten, diet coke and even microwaves...

12 Jun 2022 | "I immediately thought my life is over" - Patsy Stevenson | 01:07:44 | |
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: Also, we suggest checking out Sistah Space and their work on Valerie's Law.

10 Jul 2022 | Jac is Back: let other people be wrong about you | 01:34:55 | |
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...

28 Aug 2022 | Being body-shamed on America's Next Top Model | 01:24:33 | |
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.

19 Dec 2022 | Spotlight on Ukraine this Christmas | 01:33:52 | |
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.

23 Jan 2023 | Revenge against revenge porn with Georgia Harrison | 00:54:42 | |
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.

30 Jan 2023 | "If I go home, I'll be arrested" with Iranian feminist Samaneh Savadi | 01:05:45 | |
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.

13 Feb 2023 | "My name is Sarah, I don't want to die" | 01:20:32 | |
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.
