Do What You Love and Get Paid For It with John Williams.
9th Mar 2021
Big questions of what we are we doing with our lives, what do we want to achieve in our work, and how can we do something meaningful and enjoyable while making a great living seem even more pressing this year. Many have lost their jobs during the pandemic, others have simply realised that if they can work from home, perhaps they can work from anywhere and do it for themselves instead of a corporation.

Rude Women with Nimko Ali and Rebecca Reid.
14th Jan 2021
For decades, women have been called 'bossy', 'hysterical' and 'neurotic' in situations where men might simply be dubbed 'assertive'. Women are constantly worrying about being polite, even finding themselves in uncomfortable situations they'd rather avoid due to a fear of saying the wrong thing. We all have questions about our bodies but often women's voices are silenced for being impolite or improper.

My Second Home: Sylvia Plath in Paris, 1956 with Dave Haslam.
7th Jan 2021
Launching us into January, we explore a lesser-known side to Sylvia Plath, the American novelist and poet, whose creativity still influences and resonates so strongly today. While readers may be familiar with her work and life, there are so many chapters of it left unexplored and, by focussing on Sylvia’s adventures in Paris, Dave Haslam brings a new, welcome perspective to what we think we know. Haslam is a broadcaster, author and former Hacienda DJ, whose latest series ‘Art Decades’ is building into an intriguing collection of small format books about writing, music, and art, rooted in lived experience and a love for cities.
