June 14, 2015 ARTIST Jeanne Masoero on GORGEOUS GOSSIP with Donna Freed
Studio visit with artist Jeanne Masaero. In conjunction with the Mexican Year of Exchange, independant art advisor and curator Sandra Higgins is showing Jeanne Masaero's Invisible Cities: A Mayan Journey. The paintings - figures in light - were inspired by her visits to Mayan sites in the late 1970's; they resemble topographical maps created out of tiny grains of colour. The show can be seen from June 18th to July 1st.
“The latest work marks the culmination of a long process. One in which the many years of previous work can be seen as a long but coherent search, a process leading forward to a mature mastery of a complex and deeply felt technique, which develops my long-standing fascination with painting as a model of endlessness.”
-Jeanne Masoero

June 10, 2015 The Fish Ladder by Katharine Norbury on GORGEOUS LIVES with Donna Freed
In an attempt to distract both herself and her daughter from the agony of a late miscarriage, Katharine Norbury decided they would spend the summer finding the source of a river. Thus starts the sprawling story of a life lived fiercely through grief, breast cancer and finding and losing the idea of her birth mother in her own journey upstream. Her latest book The Fish Ladder is a written account of her journey.

June 04, 2015 Travel Private Malta & Airport Parking Solved! Gorgeous Escapes with Sarah Tucker Radio Gorgeous
The ever peripatetic Sarah Tucker talks travel: you booked the flights, accomodation and rental car; but when your flight leaves at 5 am, what do you do with your car? Do you despair of a holiday where you only scratch the surface, never really seeing how the natives live? Sarah has a good nose round someone else's house in her Private Malta holiday and benefits from the unique history and stories of the island.
A new service offered by tour operator beyond3sixty is launching a Private Malta tour, inviting up to ten people around homes on the island. Malta has a lot more to it than meets the eye. Sold to mass market audiences as a cheap sun option, only three hours away, one of the more densely populated place on the planet (although you wouldn't know it when visiting), its also allegedly built above Atlantis and has a history of knights and battles, modern and old, which pales our own in comparison.

“It’s fantastic to have a radio show for women BY women. Not that Radio Gorgeous is worthy or box-ticking. It’s funny, frantic, smart; often profound and just occasionally filthy.” Liz Hoggard – Journalist It was such fun” Lynn Barber – Celebrity Journalist

“Pirate Radio for Vogue Readers” Journalist and writer Zoe Williams

“Radio Gorgeous is a brilliant, necessary and exciting enterprise which puts women’s work, ideas, voices, creativity and wit front and centre. Radio Gorgeous is storming a media landscape in which women are under-represented as speakers, experts, stars and executives, producing brilliantly researched content which never fails to inspire and excite. From politics to the arts, the everyday to the global, Radio Gorgeous is quicker, smarter and sharper than anything else out there right now.” Bidisha Critic, Writer & Broadcaster

“Josephine is such a positive person! She is really willing you on to express yourself. She has really brilliant questions and is obviously really interested! ” Gillian McCallum CEO of Drawing Down The Moon

“Once you listen, you’ll be addicted and won’t be able to wait for your weekly fix. Hearing talented women talking in depth about their involvement in books, art, music, theatre as well as all manner of health and lifestyle issues is both fascinating and up-lifting. Affirmative, real and full of humour, listening to radio Gorgeous really will make you feel gorgeous.” Jo Rees, Author

This week I was interviewed on Radio Gorgeous, the UK’s longest running women led podcast. My early career was as a radio and TV reporter and out of all the interviews I’ve done, this one was my favourite (except I was the one answering the questions, instead of asking them). Please give Josephine Pembroke a TV Show! She is clever, funny, naughty and kind. It made for an insightful interview as we talked about orgasm, self-discovery, movement as medicine and more.” Betsy Blankenbaker Autobiography of an Orgasm

“Radio Gorgeous does the best author interviews on the planet!” Gina Rozner, West London

“Being Interviewed by Radio Gorgeous is a fabulous experience…I loved every minute. Not only because the gorgeous Josephine herself has actually read the book so the conversation just flows. But what a great idea it is to preserve women’s voices in the 21st century. This is what we thought in 2012 and this is how we said it. What will my grandchildren think?” Anne Sebba – Author
