White Wine Question Time

Joining us today is a man who has graced our television screens and radios for nearly three decades. In fact, in 2008, he was officially crowned the most-watched man on UK television, seen by 1 billion viewers. It’s Adrian Chiles!

We map out his life from – as Adrian puts it – being successful, to famous and successful, to - in many people’s minds - just successful, and the toll that he says it has put on him mentally. We also chat about his move towards mindful drinking and his journey to lower his alcohol intake. For more on mindful drinking, Adrian’s new book, ‘The Good Drinker: How I Learned to Love Drinking Less,’ is out now!

Today marks episode two of our three-part special to celebrate Menopause Awareness Month! After last week’s show with the wonderful Dr. Naomi Potter and Lisa Snowden, we’ve got something a little different to our usual midweek throwback from the cellar as we continue to shine a light on menopause.

In this episode, we’re delighted to welcome back leading menopause expert Dr. Naomi Potter and introduce two members of the White Wine Question Time team! The once-muted conversation around menopause is blossoming into an open dialogue, so we wanted to introduce the voices of women in their 20s to bridge the generational gap and address the questions that really pique their curiosity.

Stay tuned for our third and final episode on Friday, where we’ll be bringing together more brilliant women to talk about menopause in front of a live audience!

It’s World Menopause Day, and to help raise awareness, we’ve decided to do things a little bit differently by dropping three special edition episodes over the course of this month, to mark Menopause Awareness Month.

For this special episode, Kate called upon two women who have been her life-raft. Lisa Snowdon, who has had to endure it herself and has helped calm the stormy seas of peri-menopause with her friendly shoulder to lean on, and Lisa’s doctor, Dr Naomi Potter, a leading menopause expert who eventually became Kate’s doctor too.

Expect a frank and honest discussion on peri-menopause, menopause, HRT and so much more!
