Fi is off on her Germanic spa break, and Jane has already broken her promise... Caffeinated and raring to go, Jane and Eve cover vows of silence, wet coats on public transport, airplane divas and bereavement.

Plus, historical novelist Philippa Gregory shares her book recommendations and discusses her new book 'Royal Witch'.

Welcome to Thursday! Jane and Fi are life's dreamers today - Jane has been dreaming of the Wicker Man, while Fi is dreaming of doughnuts and a return to the oaky Chardonnays of the 1980s... They also cover going grey, emotional support cockatoos, getting Fi to Ambridge, and the John Lewis cruise-wear department. We've also attached quite a strong accent warning to today's episode...

And Lady Glenconner, lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret and friend to the King (and to the podcast), discusses her latest book 'Trunks and Tiaras'.

Jane and Fi are mostly in agreement today – will wonders never cease! They agree on Rod Stewart’s back catalogue, the buffet rules in heaven, what a bugger it would be to own a harp, and metric vs imperial! But please feel free to correct them on any of these matters...

And Johnny Mercer – army captain turned MP and then veterans minister (twice) – discusses his book 'No Way to Run a Country'.

Welcome to Tuesday. The winding Off Air river continues to meander into your ears. Today, Jane and Fi navigate the waters of deceit in politics and reliable parenting, sail past French protests and sex toys, make a brief detour to Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, before arriving at the poignant shores of Greenham Common. Quite the journey. There's no guest today so enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the silly division! Jane is off this week, but she’ll be back next week. In the meantime, Fi and Eve cover the similarities between breast-feeding and boxers, reluctant Traitors, suspicious tumble-dried banknotes, and more performative reading.

Plus, they’re joined by ‘probably a public intellectual’ Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times. He brings his silliness and his book picks for the week, including 'A Past Without Pictures' by Jonathan Ames, 'The Brightness' by Chad Harbach and 'Never Say War' by Åsne Seierstad.
