Tara hates frilly lingerie and is not afraid to let her feelings be known in this edition of our spin-off podcast, No Limits.
If they're scratchy and uncomfortable who exactly are they really for and why should women be expected to wear them as a 'special treat'? Each week for this series of 10 mini-podcasts, Marian and Tara take one email from a listener to spotlight with, perhaps, a little less diplomacy that they might muster in the full versions of their popular problem-busting podcast, Now You're Asking. It's a hard and fast snapshot of their take on an issue or problem. It's Now You're Asking with a little salt in the caramel - all the more tasty for being bite-sized! Producer: Steve Doherty
