Ever been stabbed in the back by a friend?

This listener has, and she's written to The Bureau to tell us all about it.

Tune in to get our take on betrayal (was she EVER a real friend?) and closure (is it good or terrible?)

Today, we talk about grief - in all of its stages and strange forms. With none other than the really fantastic Stacey Heale, whose husband Greg Gilbert died three years ago.

For a show about death, there's a lot of laughter. And some tears. But you've come to expect no less, of course.

Stacey talks us deftly through parenting, money worries, thoughts about dating, and the 'forest of support' which surrounded her following Greg's death. The reality of carrying on alone into these years and the questions and struggles which follow; from thoughts about the afterlife to managing your children's pain, is all explored here.

We're so privileged to have Stacey in our lives, and many more of her generous and unique observations are made in the beautiful 'Now Is Not The Time For Flowers,' which is out now in paperback.

Join us as we kick off the first (admittedly fairly shambolic) Bureau de WAM of this series... Where ALL your emotional issues are solved!

Cariad Lloyd is a legend. Pure and simple. From Griefcast to Austentatious, she cares for our every emotion.

Kicking off WAM Series 7!! Cariad talks about being treated like a small, cute woman; how she feels her anger is both a blessing and a curse. And whether some people just do feel more strongly than others.

Cariad's beautiful new book dealing with children's grief, 'Where Did She Go?' is out on the 5th May.

If you haven't read it yet, Jen's article on the brutal reality of visiting the USA to tour her book Women Are Angry, and why she sadly won't be returning for her NY tour, can be found here.

The problem with Elif Shafak is that she is too acclaimed, her work too numerous and celebrated, and her personal cause too elevated to begin to capture in one limited introduction. You will no doubt own at least one of her 13 books, in at least one of the 57 languages they've been translated into. You may also be eagerly awaiting the April paperback of There Are Rivers In The Sky. But you might not have heard her talk about the vast range of emotional topics this convo covers; from grief to otherness to sisterhood. So here's your chance.

We are so excited to bring you the woman who is quite simply a walking wonder, and we can't wait for you to benefit from her words of infinite wisdom...

Stylist magazine stands out in a market saturated by media which plays on women's insecurities to, basically, get them to buy stuff. We have forever loved it for its unwaveringly feminist bedrock, and determination to bring us what we actually need to see.

Visionary editor-in-chief, Lisa Smosarski, has been steering the Stylist ship since its very first issue. Lisa wanted the magazine to sound like 'an intelligent conversation between friends.' She's certainly achieved that. And so much more besides. Today, Lisa brings even more of that brilliant trademark conversation to WAM...

Sarah Pappalardo was named one of Time Magazine's '23 People Who Are Changing What's Funny Right Now' and Rolling Stone's '50 Funniest People Right Now.'

You'll know them best as the co-founder of satirical women's magazine Reductress. As well as for co-authoring 'How To Win At Feminism' and 'How To Stay Positive When The World is Ending.'

Today, we talk political disagreements, general disagreements, high school, and being hit in the face at the swimming pool. Jen decides she wants to be Sarah's friend, and that doesn't happen often.
