Jo Brand - #2.8

Happy-go-lucky kinda guy Tom Parry is Isy's guest for an episode where the things done for love include measuring fingers with string, repeatedly demanding a frenchie, writing a song on a harmonica and kneeling in urine. As with the previous episode, this was recorded in front of an audience at The Phoenix in London way back in February 2020 - those were the days!
Thanks for all your help spreading the word about the series - it's a real help.

Broadcaster and magnificent person Margaret Cabourn-Smith joins Isy for a wide-ranging chat taking in engagement rings, bad sex, mis-shapen balls, making emotional decisions, going to bed with Posh Spice, Caravans On Tour, crying on the job and penises with pincers, plucking pubes. This was recorded in front of an audience of real live human beings way back in February 2020 - thanks to spiritual home The Phoenix for having us.

Bridget Christie - #2.5

Brilliant, lovely and splendid actor and writer Paterson Joseph is Isy's guest for a conversation that crams in first kisses, biscuits, polyamory, Peep Show, being compassionate to yourself and whether you'd choose knitting over a foursome.
If you're enjoying the new series it would be amazingly helpful if you'd use you mouth, arms, fingers or telekinesis to spread the word and let others know that this exists! Do also please investigate Isy's new book 'Jane Is Trying' - which is available from all the usual places.
Paterson can be found on Twitter at @ignatius_sancho and, as he told us, if you're curious to know any more, you can find plenty of information on the internet.
