Should I Delete That?

This week on the pod, the girls talk to author, podcaster and former chief content officer of goop, Elise Loehnen. Elise has co-written twelve books, five of which have been New York Times bestsellers, and Em and Alex are joined by her to discuss her latest, On Our Best Behaviour: The Price Women Pay to be Good. 

Why can women rarely recover from their failures? Why is the patriarchy so devastating to boys and men? 

Elise shares her manifesto, which argues that the seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride) have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. This fascinating theory expands on our episode with Jameela Jamil, back in January 2022, in which the girls spoke about why, as a society, we build women up only to tear them down.

In this week’s episode, Em and Al are joined in the studio by Charlie Craggs, a British transgender actress, activist, and author from London. Charlie talks about her recent experience in court, where she was fighting a trans hate crime. She talks about how she was misgendered in court, and how the court handled her case by letting her attacker off, and what message this sends. 

From this, Charlie is setting up free self defence classes for trans women, to ensure other trans people feel safe in public. The three discuss activism online and the media’s role in the debate around trans rights.

This week on the pod, Alex and Em are joined by none other than the Gynae Geek herself: Dr Anita Mitra, who is on a mission to make it less scary to own a vagina. Anita answers a bunch of your questions: from discharge to pap smears, cysts to douches and answers the most important question of all: 'what's the weirdest thing you've found up someone's vagina?' Anita shares how to advocate for yourself at the doctors and how to really get to know your own vagina.

On this episode, Alex and Em are joined by Caggie Dunlop, who you may recognise from the earliest iteration of Made in Chelsea. Caggie's late twenties were a mixture of confusion and instability, seeing her friends settling down and having babies just as her life seemed to be at its most turbulent. Then she was introduced to the astrological concept of Saturn returns, which made her understand she wasn't alone in her discomfort. Now, with a podcast and a new book dedicated to Saturn returning, Caggie shares her story and this concept with Alex and Em. And it does happen to send Em into a bit of a spin...

This week on the podcast, Em and Alex chat to Marla McEntire. Her pregnancy was not traditional by any stretch, most notably because Marla actually had no idea that she was pregnant. She only found out 40 weeks into her pregnancy, when she went to the bathroom and after pushing, she realised a baby was in the toilet! This is Marla’s baffling, incredible and heart-warming story…
