The Naked Podcast

Fifty-five-year-old Mary Mutch talks about how her body’s been pushed to its limits by several serious operations and what her family and the NHS have done to help heal her wounds.

The city centre ambassador undresses with Kat and Jen to reveal how her scars prompted her to pluck up the courage to shed her clothes for the podcast (with a little help from her husband!). Mother and grandmother Mary talks about finding love second time around, being a motorbiking babe, an eventful skinny dip and find out what she says to get Jen weeping!

They’ve been apart for a few days so Jen and Kat have a lot to catch up on. They contemplate if sexy time at a music festival is ever ok and chat about how karma played a part in Kat’s hair coming a cropper in a militant queuing “situation” on her hols.

Archaeologist and PhD student Rebecca Hearne bares all with Jen and Kat to reveal how she ended up with a permanent picture of a crown-wearing flair-bearing vulva riding a horse under her arm.

The trio ponder questions over pubic hair and the pitfalls of keeping your private parts looking pukka (and whether anyone really goes in for 'intimate' bleaching). Good sex, big O’s and Sting’s tantric teachings all get a mention too.

Jen and Kat have lots to catch up on after Harbourne’s holidays. Jen’s been left confused over her technicoloured nipples, whilst Kat’s been getting creative with an underwater camera...(yes, it probably is what you think it is).

If you'd like to join the conversation - you can!

Tracy explains why food and over-eating have dominated the bond she has with her body and how boarding school affected her relationships with men. The 52-year-old swaps vaginal injury stories with Kat and reveals why she’s sticking two fingers up to online dating. Oh and everyone’s VERY sweaty!!

Director of Sheffield charity ‘The Suit Works’ Vanda Kewley strips off with Kat and Jen and talks about coming to terms with getting older and how working with men’s bodies has given her a better understanding of how blokes feel about what’s underneath their clothes. The fifty nine year old explains how a conversation with her sister in later life revealed they’d both had abortions at the age of fifteen. Vanda also chats about growing up with a ‘Tiller Girl’ and what it was like having Ken Dodd knocking on the door.

This week Kat and Jen confess to having a few wobbles whilst on the search for ‘Naked Nirvana’. Jen’s got the rage and Kat’s pits are causing her a few probs.
