  • S2 E6: This is Not a Sad Girl Book

    With the rise in demand for the female malaise and the unhinged woman in literature, I decided to voice some of my thoughts regarding the latest phenomenon that seems to be sweeping booksta and booktok - The Sad Girl

    As always, this is off the back of one of my my midnight musings and I invite you all to debate and converse with me over the subject whether you agree with my points or not.

    I feel very strongly about this and have tried to keep my thoughts concise and non-ranty.

    Enjoy

  • S2 E3: Feminism or Faux?

    Thank you as always for taking time out of your day to listen to my midnight ramblings. In this case, it is LITERALLY  a midnight ramble that I am giving you access to based on a few comments which I know were well intentioned but poorly delivered (depending on the audience I suppose).

    Anyhow, I ramble enough in this episode so I'll just leave this here for you to listen to at your own leisure and as always, do head over to my instagram @turningpages.official to give any feedback.

    Stay Weird!

  • S2 E1: Pen Pals and Penis Wows

    Guys


    Welcome back to a new season of my podcast which has been renamed "As It Turns Out"

    This episode's guest is utterly amazing!

    I loved listening back to this before uploading because it genuinely made me laugh: "I'll wear you like a puppet" and I was also pleasantly surprised at some of the wise words that came out of this chat, "I like opportunities that allow me to sit in my feminine energy". 

    In this episode we discussed great dates, bad dates, surprise dates "hmmm... I think I'm on a date", being used as an emotional ego boost when someone just wants a penpal and a bunch of other things that come under the umbrella of 'dating', "I'm not about to give myself a hunchback for any man!"

    Annoyingly, because we now live a good few hours away from each other, we had to record this one remotely so apologies for the sound quality but I do hope you enjoy it.

    Please feel free to pop back to this post to give feedback... and to let us know if you also "care about your craft"

    NOTE TO SELF: stop saying "like" so much

  • 04: Bombshell or Bust?! LOVE ISLAND wk1

    Hello my loves! Here we have a half cut patty (yes on one glass of Prosecco) spewing off a few random thoughts that came to me off of the back of the first week of Love Island. 

    Thoughts about the standards of beauty that women are expected to uphold, the features that are ignored if they aren't deemed to be presented on the right shade of skin and Brad, who has so far only managed to portray himself as somewhat of a waster.

    Please head over to my insta @turningpages87 if you would like to join me to round up one of the weeks. Let's face it, it's better listening to two people having a conversation over me rambling alone for a half hour! haha Enjoy!!!
