  • #8 The Struggle with Beauty

    The beauty world is an ever-growing one, so it seemed only right that I should delve in and try to find out where this contour-crazed phenomenon started! 


    I discuss the history of beauty with Senior Lecturer Jill Burke (some crazy recipes for hair removal in there!), I chat to internationally famous make-up artist Wendy Rowe, and get my eyebrows microbladed! 


    There might even be a cheeky giveaway in this episode too!

  • #7 The Struggle with Talking About Sexual Assault
    Although it was a tricky one to record, I wanted to do a podcast about sexual assault. I speak to the CEO of sexual assault charity, Safeline, and chat to my sister about her personal experiences of sexual assault. Chloe gets in touch about her horrific experience and I confront my own sexual assaulter from university. It might be a difficult listen, but I hope it gets you talking.

  • #6 The Struggle with Festivals
    Despite the rain, mud and portaloos, I delved into the world of festivals as I headed to Wilderness in Oxfordshire! I was lucky enough to chat to the absolute babe that is Laura Mvula about being a woman in the music industry and the pressures that come with it. Plus I spoke to festival organiser John Amps about what’s involved in programming a main stage. If you've never been to a festival, I hope by the end of this episode you'll have signed yourself up for one!
