  • The COVID-19 Vaccine - Are we in or out?

    In this episode, we discuss one of the UK’s hottest topics - the COVID-19 Vaccine. How do we feel about it? Do we want to take it? While it seems that taking the vaccine is optional for now, how likely is it that it will become mandatory and if it does, what could this mean for all of us? We also discuss the decision-making process and what happens in instances when parents disagree on whether to vaccinate their child. Enjoy! Ni and Sim

  • Our bodies - Are we our own worst critics?
    In this episode, Karen joins us to discuss all things to do with our shape and size, including diets and exercise, finding clothes to flatter our figures and whether men really care about the way we look. We also share some exciting revelations, from Ni’s passionate speech about the need for four dumplings in her soup, Karen’s take on her ‘kebab legs’ and why you might find Sim rummaging for biscuits in the loft in the middle of the night.

  • A Man's Wandering Eye - is Evolution the Reason?
    In this episode, we dig deep into the masculine brain. Joined by TJ, what started off as a discussion about online dating, turned into a very detailed analysis as to why he thinks men react the way they do in certain settings. While we didn't always agree with his views, perhaps there is some truth to his outlook. Are some men just afraid to be honest and do we as women just not like to hear the truth? We'll let you decide. Enjoy! Ni and Sim

  • Diary of an Unapologetic Black Man

    In this episode, we speak once again to Julian and discuss how a strict upbringing, a predominantly white middle-class schooling and a red-brick university education helped to shape the man he is today. We also ask whether these experiences have stopped him from getting caught up in the stereotypical view of ‘a black man’ in today's society and why making his impassioned speech at the Birmingham BlackLivesMatter protest was so important to him.  Enjoy!

  • Two Women, Two Journeys - in partnership with UCB

    In this special episode, we discuss our career journeys. 2020 has definitely highlighted the continued struggles of black people in modern society. How has this affected us in the workplace and does the fact that we are women make it even more difficult?

  • Normalising Miscarriage
    In this episode, we question why miscarriage is still such a taboo subject. With 1 in 4 women experiencing miscarriage, surely conversations should be normalised. So why aren’t they? In honour of Baby Loss Awareness Week 2020, we’re joined by Daniela @danielapbraide who suffered a miscarriage 18 months ago. She provides some very useful insights into the physical and emotional side of miscarriage and also the importance of good support networks, taking the time to process grief and finding your own way to heal.
