This week, Jo and Zoe are in hysterics over a listener story that might just top them all - Tracy’s coil made an unscheduled exit after a weekend rave at Butlins. There's plenty of gossip (the good kind), friendship dilemmas and tall-girl truths.

Zoe’s been inspired by a new cookbook and a night of sparkle at the Palladium with Strictly legends, while Jo has a serious warning about scams and just how scarily real AI voices can sound.
