Mud Between Your Toes is a memoir about my life - a gay, white boy growing up during the 1970s Rhodesian Bush War.

Nigel Simmonds has spent more than half his life in Asia — in Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia — chronicling the lives and foibles of the rich and famous as a columnist for the South China Morning Post's once-revered Lai See column, before taking the helm of the high society glossy magazine Tatler and Bali's sophisticated The Yak Magazine.

This podcast is all about vaginas—medical grade vaginas. I speak to “Vagina Betty” McCarthy about—err—vaginas. And a few other body parts. Season 03 - Episode 23 of MUD BETWEEN YOUR TOES CONVERSATIONS WITH PETER WOOD. I first met Erica “Vagina Betty” McCarthy back in 2008 in Hong Kong. She was on her way to a factory in China to see her first ever prototype medical grade vagina. “What the hell is a medical grade vagina?” I asked. My scant knowledge of false vaginas stretched to rather awful products in the window of Ann Summers. You can listen to Erica patiently explain the importance life-like body parts (and vaginas) play in the medical world.

Season03, Episode 20 - Last week, South Africa experienced some of the worst violence in modern times. The rainbow nation, with arguably the world's most liberal constitution, erupted into violent riots, sparked by a toxic mix of unemployment, corruption, political tension, and tribal nationalism following the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma. As the world looked on in shock, I ask veteran journalist, Peta Thornycroft, how Africa's poster child for equality and economic progress, descended into such chaos.
