All life is truly here, this week with an awkward family Christmas (that needn’t be so bad), a semi-cancelled wedding (which almost certainly wasn’t so bad), and pulling out an under-used dinner service (which definitely isn’t bad). All these conundrums and many more have come in to the Now You’re Asking mailbox for Marian and Tara to do their best to address.

Marian Keyes is a multi award-winning writer, with a total of over 30 million of her books sold to date in 33 languages. Her close friend Tara Flynn is an actress, comedian and writer. Together, these two friends have been through a lot, and now want to use their considerable life experience to help solve the biggest - and smallest - of things that keep us awake at night.

Previous series were welcomed by listeners and critics: "Both are warm and kind enough to not only be funny but also offer genuinely thoughtful, if left-field, advice." (Miranda Sawyer, The Observer) "Keyes and Flynn are my new favourite double-act." (Jane Anderson - Radio Times) "I found their compassion endlessly soothing." (Rachel Cunliffe - The New Statesman)

Recorded in Dublin with emails received from listeners around the world.
