May 13, 2026Russell & Lindsey Kane: I made her coat into a muff
On a mission to tackle Britain's intimacy crisis, Russell and Lindsey Kane are helping couples find their spark, rekindle desire, and revive their sex lives. In short, they're here to get Britain banging again.
They sit down with Anna to talk about love, lust, and life as a couple. From the moment they met while Russell was using Lindsey’s jacket on stage to fake-wax his fanny, to Lindsey's long-standing crush on Rita Ora, to where they find themselves 12 years later.
This is a candid, funny, and horny AF convo. P.S. We also talk about serious stuff like ADHD and alcohol, the manosphere and sex education.

April 15, 2026 Dave Manheim: Profound moments of shame
A former heroin addict turned podcaster, David Manheim has spent the last decade turning his darkest years into one of the most beloved communities in the recovery world. He's the co-creator and host of Dopey - a dark comedy podcast on drugs, addiction, recovery, and, as he puts it, "all the dumb sh*t in between". This week, he's sat down with Anna to talk about rehab romances, the volcanic pull of love notes written in crayon, and loving people after loss.

Get in touch on socials @wetwhendrypod.

You can hear from Dave on the Dopey Podcast and @dopeypodcast.

I prefer my girlfriend when she was drinking.
My partner has decided we weren't emotionally stable enough as a couple to have a baby.
Do addicts have a higher sex drive?
Where’s the line between ‘knowing what you want’ and producing a Must Have List on a date?

April 01, 2026 Julie Menanno: Feeling love isn’t enough
Julie Menanno is author of the New York Times bestselling book ‘Secure Love’, host of renowned podcast ‘The Secure Love Podcast’, and marriage and family therapist extraordinaire. In a time where we’re “more disconnected than ever before”, Julie is here to help.

In between being a therapist and going on Oprah, Julie answers Anna's questions that she definitely didn’t craft in order to use the discussion as a free therapy session - such as whether a perfect relationship is possible and if an old dog can learn new tricks (they can).

You can find Julie, and get her book A Secure Love at thesecurerelationship.com and @thesecurerelationship.

March 25, 2026Q&A: Are you healing or just competitive?
Do people in recovery swap substances for sex? Why do we retreat into victim mode? And what happens when the therapist waiting room becomes a hook up joint? Just a few of the questions posed in this Q&A episode with our resident therapist Sally O'Sullivan.
We also chat about...
My new partner’s in recovery too - why do I feel competitive?
My boyfriend is obsessed with fixing me, and I've realised I quite like being seen as broken. Is this bad?
How to handle a partner’s jealousy of my connection with other sober men in recovery?
My partner is "California sober" (weed only). They think I'm judging them.
I've become so independent - I’m really comfortable being alone and I'm completely unavailable for a relationship.
