March 04, 2026 Jameela Jamil: The Global Nonce Circuit
Bona fide movie star, straight talker, and the host of Wrong Turns podcast, Jameela Jamil sits down with Anna to get into the beauty industry's war on women, why looking perpetually twelve has somehow become the ideal, and how her first and only sip of alcohol somehow happened on live television.

It gets dark, it gets funny, and sometimes both at the same time.

October 22, 2025 Georgia Gomez: One girl, two pants
Alongside running a dough empire, Georgia Gomez, a writer and half the brains behind Papo’s Bagels, is also the long-suffering friend of Anna Wolfe, a feat more impressive than any bake. In this episode, Georgia, who’s been sober for over a decade, shares her story of getting sober in New York, learning to look after herself again, punch-ups, and why you shouldn’t lock yourself in a guy’s apartment and refuse to leave.
The two also get into listener confessions, from Star Trek sensuality to the perils of misplaced M&S knickers.
Live long and prosper.

October 15, 2025 Lauren McQuistin: You can’t drink with a di** in your mouth
musician with tones so docile you’ll lose your mind. Lauren speaks with brutal honesty (get it?) about what led her to sobriety and dating tales galore.
You’ll hear about the love bug becoming a drug, why Lauren cooked a hookup a juicy leg of lamb, and why dating a man with a velcro wallet is a rock bottom in itself.
Enjoy.
