Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan's teen musical comedy gave a well-deserved ribbing to the advertising and music execs of the early ‘00s, as well as teen culture in general.

It's fair to say author, Scummy Mummy and self-proclaimed running nerd Helen Thorn has dealt with some pretty hefty shit in the last few years. Her new book, How to face big change and come back stronger, is a hopeful, comforting, funny look at how to navigate some of life's biggest challenges: change, grief and loss of self. It's packed with practical wisdom from a plethora of women who have walked the walk.  Mick caught up with Helen to talk endurance, navigating life looking very different, growth, ditching bad habits, and – of course – lasagne.

Journalist, writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed is a busy woman. Through the Square Window, her new(ish) podcast with Graham Kibble-White guides listeners through UK TV of decades gone by. It's nostalgia with a keen critical eye, examining what TV reflected about and indeed brought to British culture.

She chats to Mick about TV, its role in our daily life, how her mum taught men to cook, and what the telly can tell us about a social moment. And of course, the Fab Four's first film and what makes it such a great ride. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The work of mothering has been undervalued for centuries, relegated to the sidelines thanks to patriarchal control of history. In her new book, A Women's Work: Reclaiming the Radical History of Mothering, acclaimed author Dr Elinor Cleghorn brings stories of mothering out of the shadows to show how the women in them shaped history. Jen chats to Elinor about the book, the denigration of mothering as “women's work”, and the lessons we could learn (as well a few we could forget) from the past. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hannah's been looking for light at the end of the endlessly depressing news-tunnel and found it in the case of seven Adams County sheriff's officers vs Joseph “Afroman” Foreman, as well as some delightful canine antics. There's less happy news about top schools excluding SEND pupils, but a little Brucey bonus if you like not retraumatising victims of domestic abuse. Elsewhere, a gold rush ensues at the athletics, and Jenny Off The Blocks also ponders new FIFA rules on coaches in women's football. Want to support us and enjoy additional content? Of course you do.

Dame Tracey Emin burst onto the art scene in the 1990s and controversy has followed her ever since. Like in 1999, when her Turner Prize-nominated My Bed caused a media frenzy. Emin's raw, autobiographical and confessional work is very personal yet also platforms the wider female experience through its themes of abuse, sexuality, poverty, and reproductive rights.  Jen chats to Jess Baxter, assistant curator of major new exhibition Tracey Emin: A Second Life at the Tate Modern, about the artist, her work, and the expression of the female experience.

Hannah and Mick have braved this week's onslaught of fresh hell. They've even tried turning it off and on again, but no, the news keeps newsing.

For her debut novel, Helen Bain chose one of her heroes as her focus: poet, author, arch-confessionist and genius, Sylvia Plath. The Daffodil Days spans a year and a half in Plath's life, during which she and husband Ted Hughes head to Devon seeking the idyll of country living.  During that time, Plath completed The Bell Jar, gave birth to a son, Nicholas, and wrote the poems that would be posthumously published as Ariel. But she also threw herself full-heartedly into the Devon life, and it's this and what it tells us about Plath, which Helen so beautifully explores in The Daffodil Days.  She chats to Mick about Plath, female genius, daffodils, hope and bellringing.

Kirk Jones's biographical drama based on the true life story of John Davidson, the man who taught Britain about Tourette Syndrome, is currently no 1 in the Netflix UK charts. It bagged lead actor Robert Aramayo the best actor gong at the recent Baftas, an awards ceremony that led to the film having a fourth act no one was expecting.  Hannah picked it as her next Flicking choice waaaay before any of that occurred. She, Yosra and Mick chat about this frank, powerful, gut-wrenching and funny account of a man still bringing much-needed awareness to a still misunderstood condition.  Learn more about your ad choices.

When she turned 40, journalist and author Poorna Bell decided she'd had enough of being told her best years were behind her – not least because she was seeing so many older women absolutely killing it in their various and varied arenas. With that in mind she set about looking at the rules set for women by society, questioning how and why they'd come to be, which in turn became the basis for her new book: She Wanted More: Reimagine your future and live by your rules. Jen chats to Poorna about why society writes off older women, our fears around ageing, and the art of not giving a shit. Want to support us and enjoy additionalcontent? Of course you do.

A “wardrobe malfunction” during the 2004 Superbowl halftime show caused a huge furore and changed the course of Janet Jackson's career for decades, while her fellow performer, Justin “Trousersnake” Timberlake thrived. Multidisciplinary artist Paula Varjack's play, Nine Sixteenths, examines the impact of the infamous “Nipplegate” incident. Jen chats to Paula about the play, the forces of racism, sexism and ageism that conspired to derail Jackson, and the hypocrisy that underlines pop culture.

When it comes to health, award-winning broadcaster and expert medical journalist Dr Deborah Cohen knows what she's talking about. Unlike a lot of people on the internet.  And that's because she puts the work in. Unlike a lot of people on the internet. In a world where wellness influencers and podcast bros hawking wearables and supplements are becoming more trusted than the NHS, Deborah's fascinating book, Bad Influence: How the Internet Hijacked Our Health, is an essential exploration of modern medicine versus 21st century snake oil.

England's witch trials remain a fascinating and relevant subject. They're the foundation of AK Blakemore's 2021 historical novel The Manningtree Witches, which has now been adapted for the stage and premieres later this month at Colchester's Mercury Theatre – a stone's throw from the town where infamous Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins persecuted, tortured and executed local women. Jen got on the Zoom with AK and the Mercury's artistic director Natasha Rickman to talk about the importance of theatre, consistent public interest in the 17th century witch trials, and making Matthew Hopkins look a right wally.

What does a “streamlined” UK border look like? And if you vote for the MP of one party, should they be allowed to defect to another? These are just two questions Jen and Mick pose as they rootle around this week's news. What did they find?

Jen chats to Joanna about her new book, It's Not You, It's The World: A Mental Health Survival Guide for Us All, why “triggers” are actually useful, the perils of living in a world we weren't really designed for, and whether or not the younger generation really are just less hardy.

Epic in scope and length, deliberately problematic characters, a very distinct aesthetic and a Jonny Greenwood score to give you the jitters: Paul Thomas Anderson's 2025 award-bothering opus is Yosra's pick for this month's Flicking.
