Are your super-sociable new neighbours just a bit too much? Are you a photographer who's been booked for the wedding of the girl who bullied you in school? Does your husband's desire to expose his perineum to the sun fill you with dread? (Are you, like Marian, not even sure if you have a perineum?)

Well, this is the edition of Now You're Asking for you. And even if it's not, you might learn a thing or two as pearls of comic wisdom fall from the mouths of our hosts.

All this, and Marian and Tara also tackle some questions direct from the audience, gathered for this special recording in a tent at Hay Festival 2024.

This is the first edition in a new series of Now You're Asking. Previous series were welcomed by listeners and critics:

Marian Keyes is a multi award-winning writer, with a total of over 30 million of her books sold to date in 33 languages. Her close friend Tara Flynn is an actress, comedian and writer. Together, these two friends have been through a lot, and now want to use their considerable life experience to help solve the biggest - and smallest - of the things that keep us awake at night.

We have been inundated with emails since the last series but everything gets read and we're always on the lookout for new questions, queries and conundrums to include on the show.
