The show hosts Rebekka, Theo and Charles are back together again (all looking fabulous according to the team) for a general chit chat episode where as usual they put the world to rights.

Expect to hear chat on the current slate of Taliban rules and regulations (for women only obviously) implicit racism within mass media, horrendous train journeys for people working in London, and some time spent chatting about religions and cult leaders. They also celebrate one of the many heroes of 911, then touch upon Arnold Schwarzenegger, Autobiographies and Personal Development.

All this plus much, much more!

An adopted child from Sri Lanka, Joshua came to England at just 5 weeks old. His love for Ballet started after going to see The Nutcracker at age 4 and by age 11 he had been accepted into The Royal Ballet School and then went onto The Central School of Ballet a few years after before going over to the U.S on a Ballet scholarship.

He decided to give up Ballet after longterm issues with mental health and being diagnosed with Bi-Polar.

Unfortunately Joshua was diagnosed with HIV at 24years old after a routine blood test, but he's now become an advocate for both mental heath and people living with HIV.

His first events to highlight all of the above is called The Naked Truth, with an exhibition of the 29th November 2025 followed by a The Naked Truth Gala on the 2nd December 2025. Tickets can be purchased via the website below...

Tadiwa Mahlunge is a stand-up comedian rising star who started writing jokes at the age of 17, with some of his major early influences being Dave Cappelle, Chris Rock (and the TV show South Park).

This week we introduce our new co-host Rebekka to the This British Life Podcasting Team.

She's an actress living in London but from a Norwegian/Swedish family who famously said "I'm a Blondie who wishes she was a Brownie". A long term resident of London she's a fan of things such as sports, fitness, health, food, comedy and acting.

Listen in to hear from Rebekka along with Charles and Theo as they hit topics such as Stand-up comedy, Norwegian vs British humour, 2000 quid bath sponges (yes you heard that right) and troubles with young British plumbers! All this and a LOT, lot more. Oh and thanks to the thoughtfulness of Rebekka we finish off with a live taste test of REAL Swedish chocolate!
