In this episode of OUTCAST WORLD, Graeme Smith sits down with Jaxon Feeley, author of "Fear Proof" out this week. Jax is here to flip everything you've ever believed about fear on its head.Jaxon Feeley is a British TV personality, presenter, speaker and advocate known for his work around trans inclusion, authenticity and mental-health awareness.Originally working as a prison officer, he began his transition in 2021 while still in post and has since leveraged his experience to inspire others to live their truth.This isn't another “feel the fear and do it anyway” chat. It's a raw, smart, and beautifully vulnerable conversation about what it really takes to become Fear Proof — to live a life that's honest, messy, and fully awake.Jax opens up about rebuilding from the ground up, grieving past identities, and finding courage in the quiet moments. Together, they unpack how fear can be a compass, not a cage — and why you don't need to be fearless… you just need to do it scared.Get your copy of Fear Proof:https://amzn.eu/d/6UF0dSw---THIS IS OUTCAST WORLD ---Like and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a review.

EL James doesn't do podcasts - in fact appropriately enough we popped her podcast cherry (Absolutely no safe words required).As part of our look back at some of our favourite authors to have appeared on the podcast we couldn't look past this one. Erika (her real name) is one of the best selling authors on the planet - but her fame came later, after a successful career in British TV. It is an extraordinary conversation - which took place back in 2001 - at a time when she was trying to juggle homeschooling and launching a range of adult toys. Weren't we all. Hope you enjoy it - but just a word of warning, it probably is one for listening to on headphones - you can imagine but some of the chat is quite saucy. Cheers Hosted on Acast.

Episode 217 TranscriptCorinneWelcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark! If you're listening to this, you are part of Extra Butter, which means you're our favorite Burnt Toasties. VirginiaYour support makes all our work possible and keeps Burnt Toast an ad- and sponsor free space. Which is relevant to today's conversation! CorinneToday, we're going to talk about influencer and advocate Katie Sturino, who became famous on Instagram for her #SuperSizeTheLook content and for creating the Megababe product line. But more recently, she teamed up with Oprah and Weight Watchers, and has gone public about her use of GLP-1s.VirginiaSo before we get into it, let me do my standard caveat that I give anytime we do one of these episodes where we talk about a particular person's work in deal. Body autonomy is a given at Burnt Toast. Katie has the right to take her GLP-1s. That is her business. We're not interrogating that personal decision. We are also not "women tearing down other women," which is the other go-to critique of this work. We're considering Katie's entire body of work here, and we're asking: Is this true body liberation activism? Or is this an example of capitalism co-opting activism? I think that's a valuable question for anyone in the influencing space to be grappling with. I think Corinne and I both walk that line as well in our work. So we are going to critique Katie and some of the professional choices she's made but this is a lens we all benefit from looking through. CorinneWith that, I feel that I need to disclose that I have received gifted products from Megababe.VirginiaFor example! It's a gray area, guys. I have not, but I would have been happy to receive that gift. CorinneI recommended stuff from Megababe before I ever received free stuff! But I have received free stuff. And I do like some of their products. VirginiaThis episode is also not going to be a critique of specific products. Preventing thigh chafing is a noble endeavor.So how did you first encounter Katie Sturino? Do you remember when you first became aware of her work?CorinneIt's honestly hard for me to remember because I feel like she's been around for so long!VirginiaLike 10 years.CorinneIf not more!VirginiaIt was the mid-2010s when she really came onto the scene.CorinneI definitely encountered her Instagram. I think it was her style content. I remember seeing her going into a store and trying on stuff that didn't fit, or trying their biggest size and it wouldn't work for her. And then I also remember the #SuperSizeTheLook.VirginiaFor folks who don't know: #SuperSizeTheLook is a series where Katie picks a photo of a celebrity wearing a really cute outfit, and then styles herself wearing the same outfit. Usually not in identical pieces, because the sizes are not going to work. But she mimics the outfit, and she mimics the pose really well. If it's a celebrity getting out of a town car with a purse on her arm, Katie will also be getting out of a town car. Or walking a tiny dog. She mimics the whole vibe of the photo. And the goal is to show you that bigger bodies look cute in clothes. Which is a message we're here for! CorinneWhat about you? How did you first encounter her?VirginiaWhat's interesting about Katie and me is that we are the same age, we are both 44. And we both come out of the New York media world. I learned this all researching the episode; I don't know her personally. I never worked with her. But we have sort of similar trajectories into body liberation work.And when she first launched, her blog was originally called The 12ish Style. I was also a size 12-ish. Those were my Midsize Queen years, before moving into full plus sizes. So we've had similar trajectories of being in this space first a mid-sized person, and then a small fat person. I've always been interested in her fashion and the way she styles stuff, because it was often quite directly relevant to my own body, though not necessarily relevant to everybody. She is also, like, a foot taller than me, I think? She seems quite tall in photos and she wears very tall heels, too, which is impressive to me, if not actually something I can pull off. But I've always appreciated the vibe and the energy of Katie's content.  She's very open book. A lot of her posts are shot in her underwear, wearing no makeup, in a swimsuit. She's always showing us, "Here's what my real body looks like." There are critiques to be made of this genre of content making, but I think it's also powerful to see non-airbrushed, not super thin bodies. I think there's a lot of value in that. So I knew Megababe, I knew #SuperSizeTheLook, but I didn't know a ton of her backstory. So I did a little research, and most of what I'm going to share with you comes from a New York Times piece that ran in June with the headline, What Katie Sturino Wants You to Know About Her Body (and Yours, Too). This is by Madison Malone Kircher and it ran June 22, 2025.We're going to get into it later in the episode, but Katie is not thrilled with this piece. And I just want to say I have empathy for being in the New York Times and not being thrilled with the way they cover your work. Can relate! So I am going to quote from the piece, because I think it makes some interesting points, and there's some useful context in there. But I'm not saying this piece does the best job analyzing her work. The New York Times describes Katie as "a dog-obsessed public relations pro turned body positivity influencer slash entrepreneur, who built a social media audience by posting candidly about her life."Katie began her career in fashion PR. I think her first job was at Gucci or Dolce Gabbana. She then started her own PR firm in the 2010s. And then found found Internet fame as a dogager, which is a dog manager, running an Instagram account for her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Toast. So this is how she started. Did you know she was a dog influencer before she was a fashion influencer?CorinneI think I do vaguely remember that.VirginiaToast has since passed away. RIP Toast. Great name for a dog, obviously. But I did not know that she started as a dog influencer. That was news to me, and, frankly, rather delightful. But: Coming from a PR background, finding Internet fame through dog influencing...this is a very specific lens to which she's coming to this work. Katie is now a multi-hyphenate. She had a podcast called Boob Sweat. She wrote a non-fiction book Body Talk, which is an illustrated workbook about self love. She has a Substack newsletter. She has the Megababe the product line. And she published her first novel this spring. So Katie is very busy! She is doing a lot. Have you followed her for recs, or you've used Megababe? You like Megababe. CorinneI've used Megababe. I like Megababe. Her particular style has never quite been for me. It's hard to describe exactly what doesn't click for me. It's just very clear, even just reading the this bio—she's very savvy, she's always hustling, she always has kind of a business PR angle, which I both respect and don't relate to.VirginiaThis is her New York media roots. I never worked with Katie, but I worked with lots of Katies. I know this kind of hard-charging woman who's extremely smart and great at marketing and knows how to build a brand and talk to an audience. So she has that whole skill set—and she could be doing it about body positivity, she could be doing it about a dog. She's interested in building a brand. For example, let's consider her first novel Sunny Side Up. Katie tells the New York Times that she worked with a ghost writer: "I don't have the traditional path that a lot of people who write books have had, and I needed help," she said, adding she felt no shame or embarrassment about having a collaborator."I love how upfront she is about that. A lot of books are written by ghostwriters, and I sort of wish people were more aware of that. Mine were not. But I have been a ghost writer! So I don't mind that that's a part of it, but I do think that it's interesting that it wasn't Katie had a novel inside her that she was dying to write. It was that Katie knew that having a novel would be a good brand extension. And the novel is about a plus size fashion influencer who goes on to launch a plus size swimsuit line. And... Katie's plus size swimsuit line came out this summer right after the book launch.CorinneIt's honestly mind boggling. How does anyone handle all that?VirginiaYes, it's so many things. And it does make me take a slightly different look at some of her some of her body positive content. For example, a recurring theme is her in a swimsuit. And the caption is always something like, "figured you could use a size 18 woman in a swimsuit on your feed," just showing her normal body in a swimsuit. But now that I know she's selling the swimsuits that hits differently. So is that just a smart swimsuit marketing strategy or does it feel off to you? CorinneI mean, both? She seems incredibly smart. I'm just impressed that anyone can do as much as she's doing. And: I do think sometimes it feels like you're being sold to, you know?VirginiaAnd because her work is centered around a message that has a social justice component, and a self-help component: Where is the line between "these are her values, and she's built a business on her values, "and "she's co-opting advocacy rhetoric to sell us products?"CorinneIt's definitely a gray area. VirginiaTo further the gray area: I looked at more of her content and I'm also like, these swimsuits are pretty cute. There's also this whole Wirecutter piece I want to talk about, where she goes over her fashion favs. It's good! I clicked through so many links. I was like, "Do I want these $460 jeans? I don't know!"CorinneOh now I want to see them.VirginiaYet I'm also thinking: But you are supposed to be so raw and authentic, and this is your whole vibe, and you're showing us yourself in a swimsuit, because that's supposed to feel brave. First of all, that's problematic in and of itself. Can it stop being brave for fat women to wear swimsuits in public? I would love that to not be a heroic move anymore, but in Katie Sturino's world it is radical to do that, and she's doing it. And... she's selling us the swimsuit.CorinneWell I think there are a lot of ways in which Katie is a very acceptable spokesperson for this messaging. VirginiaSay more about that.CorinneWell, first of all, she has a background in PR. And I think, even at her biggest she's...VirginiaShe's glamorous.CorinneShe's pretty, and she has a certain style. She looks wealthy, I want to say.VirginiaWell, she sure is, because guess who officiated at their wedding? Former mayor of New York City, and friend of her family, Michael Bloomberg.CorinneOh, okay, yeah.VirginiaThis is from the New York Times: "In addition to their apartment in Chelsea, the couple splits their time between homes in Palm Beach, Florida and Maine."CorinneI mean, they are definitely in a different tax bracket than myself.VirginiaSo yes. Wealthy. CorinneBut there are also people who are wealthy and wear Blundstones and barn jackets, you know? She's wearing blazers and heels.VirginiaA lot of pantsuits.Corinne A lot of jewelry. And she's always on vacation somewhere tropical.VirginiaYeah, in an amazing caftan. She's leaning into glam.CorinneShe looks polished. VirginiaShe's very polished. It's very New York City. Like, Sex and the City vibes. She could hang out with Carrie Bradshaw and she would totally fit in with them at one of those fancy lunches. And that's cool. That's her aesthetic. It's also representative of a certain socioeconomic privilege level. This is something that I saw frequently in women's magazines, and something I talked about when Jenn Romolini came on the podcast: So many people who work in New York City media, at the high levels, come from privilege. It is a very nepo-baby-driven industry. Because these are jobs that you have to do tons of unpaid internships to get. And/or work for no money as an assistant. The only way you can do that is if you have family money supporting your ability to access these industries. So it's not surprising to me that she comes from a privileged background, because she comes from PR and fashion, and that's who works in those industries.And I still think it's interesting and somewhat transgressive to be a woman in a larger body in that world. It helps me understand why it felt radical to be a size 12 dressing like a celebrity, because a size 12 in that world is an extremely non-normative body, right? This is the tier of people who have access to all the personal trainers, who are playing tennis all summer. There is no space to be a fat person in that world. So even at a size 12, it feels like, oh my gosh, your body is so other. The scale is just different when you move in these different spaces. So I can critique the space. I can be like, okay, you're friends with billionaires, and that's a hard place to be in a larger body of any kind. Did you take a look at the Wirecutter piece where she was giving a lot of like clothing recs and it's like advice for dressing as a plus size person?CorinneYes, I did take a look at it. She does have some good recs in there. I will say very expensive recs. Her preferred white t-shirt is $100.VirginiaAnd you're going to get spaghetti sauce on it so fast. CorinneIt's a weird vibe. VirginiaOkay, so now let's talk about Oprah and Weight Watchers. In 2024 Katie posted a critique of the first ABC special Oprah did about GLP-1s. And she gave a fairly nuanced critique. There was stuff she liked, there was stuff she didn't like, but she specifically said, "They came so close, and I wish Weight Watchers had fully apologized for the harm they had caused by pushing all of us to diet and want to change our bodies for so long." She was like, oh, they almost got it, but they didn't. And then in response, CEO Sima Sistani got on Instagram and did apologize. She did this speech of, you're right, Katie. I was wrong. Like, we've been wrong. We've done harm, and kind of fully walked into it. So what was your take when that all happened? CorinneTo be honest, I wasn't paying too much attention. But I do think the best apology from Weight Watchers would be them closing down, you know? It's very weird to me to be like, "Yes, we realize we've done harm, and we're just going to keep doing it."VirginiaWell, and what they were really apologizing for was selling a plan that didn't work and now they're selling GLP-1s. So it's, "We have the thing that'll work now!" As opposed to apologizing for trying to make us all do this in the first place. CorinneEven Katie going on Instagram and calling out the CEO— something like that, would just never occur to me, because I don't know, I just would never expect someone at Weight Watchers to respond or care. And I also think Weight Watchers is a microcosm, you know? It's like, sure, Weight Watchers has done harm, and they're just part of a bigger system. And you're not acknowledging that there's a bigger system there.VirginiaWell and Katie did get a response. Now, on the one hand, Katie has many more Instagram followers than you, so there's that piece of it. But I think it's an open question how planned this was, and whether they had talked ahead of time that Katie would critique and that Sima Sistani would publish her apology. Because I mean number one, no Weight Watchers CEO can just casually hop on her Instastories and apologize without having run the plan by many lawyers to make sure that she wasn't going to tank the business. So that had to have been planned, to some extent. And then the next piece of this is later last year, Katie had her own interview with Oprah in a different special, this one sponsored by Weight Watchers. And then she went on to host a podcast for Weight Watchers. So at some point, Katie got paid by Weight Watchers. Whether it was not until she hosted the podcast, or whether she was paid to be on the special with Oprah, or whether she was in a sponsorship deal with them when she asked for the apology, we don't know. But at some point, she moved from activist to on the payroll of a diet company.CorinneWasn't her response like, "Well, they were going to pay someone, it might as well be me? Or like it might as well be a plus size person." VirginiaWhat she said in the Oprah interview is, "If we don't have this conversation, if we don't insert our voice into this conversation, someone else will. Someone else will make those decisions for us." That's her argument. She wants to be in the room where it happens. She wants to be representing plus size people to these companies and with these companies. But she's not doing it pro-bono. She's not Tigress Osborne, Executive Director of NAAFA, depending on fundraisers to pay for plane tickets to places. She's doing this as a multi-hyphenate with three homes who's now getting a paycheck from Weight Watchers.CorinneYeah, it's so complicated. Because on the one hand, I can see her point. If Weight Watchers is going to be giving money to someone, it's kind of good that they would be giving some of it to fat people. So on the one hand capitalism, we're all kind of forced to sell out in some way, and on the other hand, you don't love to see it. VirginiaYou don't love to see it.CorinneEspecially when that person has three homes. VirginiaIt's a moment where I think her experiences of marginalization as a fat person erased her ability to see her privilege as a wealthy, white person. If Weight Watchers is going to pay fat people, Katie Sturino is not the person I need them to pay! I am not the person I need them to pay. Those of us in a certain tax bracket, living at a certain privilege level, are not the ones who need cash reparations from Weight Watchers. It's lower income folks who have paid to be in those meetings for years and years, who took their daughters to those meetings, who this company preyed on because it was an "affordable" approach to weight loss. And took their money over and over again every time they regained the weight and came back.CorinneWell, this is all is reminding me of the book Dietland.VirginiaBy Sarai Walker, friend of the show, yes.CorinneWhere the the heiress of the diet company is using profits from the diet company to do a type of reparations, vigilante justice. VirginiaI don't think that that's what's happening here.And I want to look a little bit at what Katie's defense has been around all of this. She's not afraid to talk very directly to haters who criticize her about her body. So in the New York Times piece, she disclosed that she's taking a GLP-1 for her own weight loss, and she then shared in a video that this was a medical decision, that she didn't really care if she lost weight or not that it was doing it to manage her A1C whatever. Again, that's Katie's business. I have no opinion about that. But she's in a smaller body now—not down to a size 12, but a mid-sized body now—and she's still pushing herself as a face of this movement. And that is a little bit complicated. She's talked about how it doesn't matter what size she is, she gets flack all the time. Like, when she was a size 12, she was too small to be representing body positivity. As a 22 people said she was too big. She's always, always, always getting constant comments about her bodies. And you know, that is really hard to deal with. That is not welcome feedback.And it is tricky that she has made her body very much her brand, I don't know, I struggle with this. It sounds like I'm saying she's asking for it, and I'm not. But you're posting content in swimsuits all the time. You're showing us your rolls, and then you're saying we shouldn't talk about people's bodies. Bodies are the least interesting thing about us. But her body is very interesting to her. She's making it a center of her work.CorinneI mean, you're making some points. It's hard to land in one way or another here. I do think the cost to being a public figure in the way that she is, in some ways, is people harassing you. And I think that's horrible and too high a cost. I also think she's made some really strange decisions, like working with Weight Watchers and still wanting to defend body neutrality or whatever.VirginiaYeah, she prefers body neutrality to body positivity, we should say and that's fine. I'm not attached to either term, to be honest. CorinneI feel like I always end up more confused than than I started on these subjects.VirginiaWhere did you start? CorinneI think where I started was Katie Sturino neutrality. Like I just sort of felt like she's not my people or whatever, and then I do feel kind of bad for her getting all this criticism and and then also I just feel, mad that people have so much money. But what do we do? I don't know.VirginiaI think it's complicated by her decision to take the Weight Watchers money. I think if she was just taking GLP-1s, that's her own business. Her body changing is her own business, even though she makes content that really centers her body. I would be backing her, like, yeah, that's not for people to interrogate your body. It's still your body, it's not your business. And I think she's walking a really complicated line by deciding to then also monetize her weight loss, by hooking up with Weight Watchers. That feels different, because she's promoting Weight Watchers, which means she's selling weight loss to other people. She's suggesting that these GLP1s are a good option for other people. Maybe she hasn't directly said those words, but she has done the Oprah special. She's lent them her brand, which has a lot of credibility. Someone said to me, l"I go out of my way to buy Megababe, even though it costs a little more than comparable products, because I want to support Katie. I want to back her work." People invest in her because they believe in her mission. CorinneThat's true.VirginiaAnd now she has attached that mission to Weight Watchers, which is selling GLP1s and obviously selling weight loss. That's where it loses me a little for her to then be like, how dare people talk about my body? You're literally selling this new version of your body. You're showing it to us because you're marketing this thing. That's where it gets really murky. On the other hand, there's a video that I'll link to where she talks quite a lot about how the internal work we need to do on body acceptance has nothing to do with the scale, and she does seem to really want to make the point that she feels very detached from her own weight loss numbers. That's not why she's on it. And she makes the point that if you don't do your own internal work, you can lose tons of weight, and you would still be miserable with your body. The weight loss is not a solution for body image struggles. And I think that's valuable. And I think there are a lot of people who listen to her who need to hear that. So I think that's useful. And it then is confusing that she's like, "But also Weight Watchers is great now."CorinneOne through line in a lot of her content is that it does feel like sometimes the bigger picture is missing, like the intersectionality. I'm not a super close follower, so maybe I'm just missing it. But I feel like I'm not seeing her do a ton of advocacy for other fat people.VirginiaWell, she really stays in her lane, which is fashion. I don't hear her talking about healthcare access, don't hear her talking about workplace discrimination, housing discrimination. Definitely not how anti-fatness intersects with racism and other marginalization. I don't think that's a focus of hers. And in some ways, that's fine, and in some ways that shows, I think, that she's not here for a deep dive into the world of fat liberation. Okay, so our big Burnt Toast question that we ask in all these episodes: Is Katie Sturino a diet?CorinneYes?VirginiaShe is selling a diet...by working with Weight Watchers. CorinneAnd I think just by embodying a very narrow line of fatness.VirginiaShe is selling a specific image of acceptable fatness.CorinneWhat's your take?VirginiaI started this episode wanting to be able to say no, in part just because everybody expects me to say yes.CorinneI know I think I'm usually on the no side. VirginiaYeah, you're usually the no and I'm usually the yes. But I think the more we talk about it, I think I'm landing there as well. But I also think she's the embodiment of this larger issue, which is: So much activism happens through social media now. And social media is a business. It is where people are building brands and making money and that means that activism gets infused with business in these really messy ways. I think plus size fashion influencers as a category have really not done a great job with this, because we have seen this trajectory of using body positivity rhetoric, even fat liberation rhetoric, and centering fat joy, celebrating you look so great in all the clothes... and then forgetting all of the other work that goes along with that, and then if they manage to achieve body changes, very quickly changing their tune about how important all of this is. I don't think she's Rosey Beeme, who's like, "Forget I ever liked fat people." I don't think she's that at all, but I do think she has not done the work of intersectionality here. CorinneYeah. It kind of feels like a like microcosm of everything that's happening in the US right now. VirginiaFor sure, for sure.CorinneIt's hard to not just extrapolate out. VirginiaSo are we saying I should not order the $460 jeans?CorinneI mean, don't ask me on this stuff, because I'm always like I do want to know. I do want to know if they're good jeans. VirginiaI do want to know. I am curious!  CorinneThis would make a good Patreon post. VirginiaI don't know that they would fit me. I have to look at the size chart and figure out if it's like a Gap 35 or if it's like a designer brand 35.CorinneI feel like it depends on if they have stretch or not. I bet they do. Katie seems like someone who would be going for stretch jeans.VirginiaShe does also do all those underwear tests where she checks whether things rolls down. That's valuable content. CorinneShe is brave. She's doing the videos that personally I would not want to do.VirginiaYou don't see me on my in my underwear on the Internet. I mean, I am on WikiFeet, but that was not my choice. That's as scandalous as I get. All right. Well, that was a very interesting conversation. Listeners, we want to hear what you think. Where do you land on this one? Have you followed her work? Have you felt, had mixed feelings about the Weight Watchers of it all? Do you have a totally different take? You can tell us in the comments. ButterVirginiaOkay, my Butter, I gave you a little preview. You can tell because we're on Zoom together, and you can see a different background behind me. But I moved my desk to a different part of my–actually, not even a different part of my office. I moved it from being parallel with the wall to being kitty corner between two walls. And I'm so much more comfortable in my office! And I realized I had my desk too close to the wall and it was not size inclusive. I was always bumping up against the wall behind me, and what a dumb thing to do in one's home office where you have total control. I had just decided the desk needed to face a certain way. I don't know what made me think it was necessary. A lot of it is the pressure on having a good Zoom background? But I've decided unless I'm doing TV or something, I'm going to keep my desk in a more comfortable place. CorinneI think that's really reasonable. VirginiaAnd it just made me think: How many other small ways do we accept our homes or our cars or whatever not being comfortable for our bodies? Like this cost $0. I literally slid the desk over to make more room. Make more room for yourselves!CorinneTotally, it's so funny how hard that stuff is to notice sometimes.VirginiaI hadn't even realized that's why I was uncomfortable. I do also need a new desk chair. If people have desk chair recs, I want those in the comments as well. I really would like to know because I'm in a crappy West Elm ancient desk chair. It's like oddly off balance. It's not good for my lower back. But I want one that's not a million dollars and not ugly.CorinneGood luck with that. I'm also really admiring your Cape Cod collarless sweatshirt.VirginiaOh, my cut collar sweatshirt. It's really cute, right? It was too tight in the neck. It's pretty tight in the waist. I was debating maybe cutting that somehow too I haven't quite figured out. Like, if I cut off the band at the bottom and it's just sort of like, boxy, would that be cute? CorinneI think it would be cute. I think it'd be more cropped. VirginiaCorinne, what's your Butter?CorinneMy Butter is a Butter that has been Buttered before. It's Taskmaster. I know it has been mentioned by other burnt toast guests, but you know what it is, or?Virginia it's an app where people come and do things for you?CorinneNo, nope. That's TaskRabbit.VirginiaI was like, why are you recommending the gig economy? CorinneAnd I've actually had very mixed results with TaskRabbit. Not recommending that one. Someone blew up a light bulb on my ceiling. That's a story for another day. TaskMaster is a British TV show, there's a comedian host, and then there are like five comedian guests, and they get assigned psychotic tasks. Like, I don't know, like, open this paper bag without using your arms or some seemingly impossible task, and then you watch them do it, and they get ranked and get points. The first episode that I watched, I was laughing so hard, I was crying, peeing my pants, like my abs were sore. And it is just very easy to watch, like, you just laugh and it's funny.VirginiaI don't usually do reality TV with my kiddo for our show, yeah, but this does sound like a fun one to watch with her. CorinneYeah, I will say there's like, some mild--they're comedians, so there's some mild innuendo and stuff.VirginiaI mean, I think I'm going to write a whole essay about this, but I love watching inappropriate television with my children. I think it opens up many great conversations.CorinneGreat. Well, you should definitely watch it, though it's on YouTube, and I have been paying for seasons. But someone actually in the Burnt Toast chat today was saying that they watch it for free on YouTube. So now I'm confused. I really am enjoying Taskmaster.VirginiaWell, that's delightful, yeah, all right. Well, this was a great episode. Excited to hear what everyone thinks about.

How do brands really live in our minds? According to Ulli Applebaum, it's all about associations — the complex web of meanings and emotions that define how people see your brand. This week on On Brand, the international strategy veteran and author of The Science of Brand Associations shares how we can use science, not guesswork, to build brands that stick. What You'll Learn Why brand associations are the “operating system” that shapes every strong brand How science explains the way memories form—and how marketers can build stronger ones The difference between positive and negative associations (and how to fix the latter) Why distinctiveness and focus matter more than ever for new brands Simple, science-backed tools to audit and strengthen your brand's mental network Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (01:20) Why no one has written about brand associations—until now (03:40) The brain science behind how brands live in memory (06:20) Brand associations as your brand's operating system (08:00) How associations drive purchase and brand preference (10:20) Managing negative brand associations (14:50) What small brands can do to stand out (23:50) The brand that's made Ulli smile recently Ulli Appelbaum is an internationally recognized brand strategist, consultant, and author with more than 25 years of experience shaping business-building strategies for some of the world's top brands. Before launching his consultancy First The Trousers Then The Shoes, he held senior strategy roles at agencies including BBDO Germany, Leo Burnett Chicago, Fallon Worldwide, and SapientNitro. Ulli's work has earned seven Effies and an ARF Ogilvy Award for Excellence in Research. His latest book, The Science of Brand Associations: Win Minds, Win Markets, is a first-of-its-kind guide to understanding and building the mental networks that make brands thrive. What Brand Has Made Ulli Smile Recently? Ulli chose KitKat — a brand he's admired for decades for its clever, humorous advertising and the enduring “Have a Break” positioning. He recalls a classic British TV spot where a photographer takes a break with a KitKat just as the panda he's waiting to capture starts ice-skating behind him. It's a moment that's stuck in his mind for 25 years — proof, he says, of how powerful brand associations can be. Resources & Links Connect with Ulli on LinkedIn.

In this episode of Talk2TheHand, Beth and Jimmy take on one of the most infamous sagas of 90s and 2000s British television—the meteoric rise and public fall of John Leslie. Once the charming face of Blue Peter, Wheel of Fortune, and This Morning, Leslie seemed destined to remain a fixture of daytime TV. But a single slip of the tongue on live television would drag him into a scandal that never let him go. They explore how Matthew Wright's accidental naming of Leslie during the Ulrika Jonsson controversy ignited a media firestorm. Allegations poured in, court cases followed, and though Leslie was never convicted of a crime, the damage to his reputation was irreversible. Beth and Jimmy highlight the relentless tabloid culture of the era, examining how accusations became headlines and headlines became lasting stigma. The discussion also dives into Leslie's personal life, particularly his volatile and highly publicised relationship with Abi Titmuss. Once a nurse, Titmuss stood by Leslie during his darkest days in court, becoming an unlikely tabloid heroine. But as the press dug deeper, their relationship spawned sex tape scandals, leaked party stories, and a tidal wave of gossip that reshaped both their lives forever. Beth and Jimmy trace how Abi Titmuss turned scandal into reinvention. From a tabloid staple and glamour model to an actress and later a nurse in the US, Titmuss's arc shows a resilience and adaptability starkly contrasted with Leslie's retreat from the spotlight. Together, their intertwined stories paint a picture of loyalty, betrayal, survival, and the brutal reality of living life under constant scrutiny. Ultimately, the episode is a reflection on celebrity culture at its most unforgiving. John Leslie's downfall and Abi Titmuss's reinvention remain one of the most notorious tales in modern British TV history—a reminder that fame is fragile, reputations are easily destroyed, and the glare of the spotlight can both elevate and obliterate. Talk2TheHand is an independent throwback podcast run by husband and wife, Jimmy and Beth. Obsessed with 90s nostalgia and 90s celebrities, we'll rewind the years and take you back to the greatest era of our lives.   New episodes bursting with nostalgia of the 90s released on Tuesdays.

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa has been everywhere lately, and the past few days have seen her at the epicenter of entertainment, fashion, and viral speculation. Most notably, fans and pundits alike were stunned by her style transformation at Kalani Hilliker's Italian wedding, where JoJo wore a dramatic gold minidress with a cape, swapping her trademark bows and quirky gear for a more mature, disco-inspired look. Social media erupted with praise for this “feminine era,” but critics and old fans debated whether it signaled a deeper change in her identity or public persona. According to coverage from Bored Panda and Parade, Siwa herself posted about her first solo trip to a new country and shared multiple Italy snaps, twirling in dresses and mingling with fellow Dance Moms alums. In one viral TikTok from Kendall Vertes, JoJo spun around in a lilac corset gown and joked about feeling “like Rapunzel,” referencing a recent viral audition tape her mom shared and quickly deleted.This flurry of European glamour led directly into business: JoJo is days away from launching her Infinity Heart tour across Europe, with confirmed shows in Dublin on September 29 and several dates following. Her tour announcement continues a summer packed with new music, including the single “Iced Coffee,” her first release since her EP Guilty Pleasure in July. AOL and JamBase confirm a 22-concert nationwide tour in July and August, with fans clamoring for tickets and major outlets highlighting her “pulling out all the stops” for this blockbuster run.On the personal front, JoJo has openly discussed her relationship with Chris Hughes, the British TV host whom she began dating shortly after their stint on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Speculation is now swirling about marriage, fueled by JoJo's confession on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast: “I want a ring, I want my Dad to walk me down the aisle… I've never cared about another person so much.” Eagle-eyed fans noticed she liked wedding planner posts, and some insiders suspect she and Chris might wed before Christmas in a Gloucestershire church near his home. While fans buzz over this new chapter, a vocal contingent online has critiqued JoJo's evolving style and sexuality, with JoJo herself responding candidly to bullying and identity jabs, according to OutFront Magazine.JoJo recently reflected on her Dance Moms era in a LADYGUNN cover story, crediting her mother's advice for handling haters and recalling how both positive and negative attention helped her build resilience and business acumen. She confirmed her ongoing friendships with some cast members and her cordial relationship with Abby Lee Miller, while addressing estrangement with the Ziegler sisters and maintaining there's “no bad blood” with anyone.Professionally, JoJo has made waves on business podcasts like The Room Where It Happened, sharing detailed lessons on personal branding, the risk of partnerships, and controlling her childhood-built empire. All signs point to JoJo Siwa embracing reinvention, balancing personal happiness, artistic growth, and unstoppable ambition. Major headlines this week?

Adam Kay is a British TV writer, author, comedian and former doctor. A Particularly Nasty Case is his first novel, a darkly comic mystery.

"Technology is always and everywhere a tool, not an autonomous agent. It requires humans to operate, which they will do in order to satisfy human desires." When we say "technology" saves labor, what we really mean is it leverages labor. It gives to labor powers that were previously impossible, inconceivable even. Only in the aftermath of witnessing its novel capabilities do we articulate that a car gives to a man the literal physical power of 200 horses. We do not start by imagining squishing 200 horses into a metal box."~ Allen Farrington What if AI isn't replacing us - but multiplying us?

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa has been at the center of vibrant headlines these past few days, with her personal life and professional pursuits drawing plenty of attention from fans and media. The most significant development is her high-profile romance with British TV host and former Love Island star Chris Hughes. Their relationship, which blossomed during their time together on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April, has completely shifted JoJo's outlook on love and marriage. Siwa recently admitted on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast and to outlets like People and The Guardian that she never envisioned craving a traditional wedding before Hughes, but now she eagerly anticipates an aisle, a first dance, and that special romantic thrill. She's even decided on a baby-blue color scheme for their future nuptials, joking that she'll need to help Chris make the playlist—he's into British boy bands while JoJo's heart is with NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, according to The Sun's Fabulous magazine.Though JoJo and Chris aren't engaged, speculation is rampant, given JoJo's open talk of their "beautiful future" and her playful admission that she's been pestering Chris about starting a family and possibly relocating permanently to the UK. The couple has faced backlash from some within the queer community over JoJo's shift to a heterosexual relationship. JoJo, who previously identified as pansexual and later as lesbian, now embraces the term “queer.” She's spoken candidly in outlets like Attitude and iHeart Radio's On the Move about how online hate and even public bullying have affected her, but insists the criticism does not change her happiness with Hughes. Chris has publicly defended JoJo, stressing that her sexuality is not negated by their relationship and expressing frustration over the hostility aimed at her.Career-wise, JoJo is keeping her star on the rise with the announcement of her North America Live Tour, set to begin in July and spanning major cities including Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and Denver. She shared her excitement on Instagram and during her appearance on the Reign podcast, promising fans an immersive concert experience blending her current hits like Karma and Guilty Pleasure, classic kids' songs, and DJ sets. As reported by AOL and PEOPLE, she's adding a charitable angle, with one dollar from every ticket benefiting Dancers Against Cancer, where she is a board member.Her global pull is underlined by upcoming concerts in Dublin, including a family-friendly show at The Academy on September 29, as listed on JamBase and Concerts50. Social media has been buzzing with JoJo's unapologetic authenticity, outspoken response to internet trolls, and her TikTok-fueled Karma dance craze. If you're keeping up with pop culture, JoJo is currently blending personal evolution with professional expansion, and her openness—whether about wedding dreams or standing up to cyberbullying—continues to fuel headlines that may shape her legacy in the years to come.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.  This week TGTPTU covers the film Elephant, no not the 2000s school-shooter mood piece by Gus Van Sant filmed in Portland, OR and covered previously and paired with Scarface (1983, not the earlier, black-and-white 1932 Howard Hawkes version) in Episode 8 of this Squib Season (it's Season 15 after all, not Season 14's Redux where the hosts covered films already covered) but, rather, the 39-minute, made-for-British-TV short film directed by Alan Clarke also entitled ELEPHANT (1989).  Chosen by host Thomas for its un-celebratory violence, the film tracks with Clarke's influential, wide-angle following shots (camera, not bullet) people who shoot other people (with bullets, not cameras) in mostly silent milieus but for environmental sounds, mostly very bloody. (As mentioned by cohost Ken, and for more on this camera placement and its effects and influence on Van Sant, see this video essay on the Film & Media Studies' YouTubeTM channel: https://youtu.be/Z5B8_IDhJQo.) Produced and defended by Danny Boyle, Elephant's unspoken (again, mostly silent with dialogue barely heard in just one scene between four blokes kicking around the football toward the middle of the flick) subject is The Troubles in the UK. In what is either bravery or foolery (callers into the network after this movie aired were split), working class and Brit-born Clarke--by then a celebrated veteran of the medium of the British TV issues film--stripped the original screenplay of dialogue when making the film in order to focus on the act of gun murder as was then currently occurring. With one un-notable exception, each of the eighteen scenes of gun violence has the shooter followed into the setting where the homicide is to occur, shoot his victim, leave followed by the camera/audience, and then cut back to silent moments of each murdered man filling the frame with his recently un-lifed corpse.  Elephant would be Clarke's penultimate work, with The Firm (no, not the adaption of the John Grisham novel that gave Holly Hunter the nom for Best Supporting Actress the same year she won Best Actress for The Piano as The Firm you're thinking of is by Sydney Pollack) also shot for British television and aired in 1989 as his final. Clarke would cross the pond to see if he could sell out in America (according to Ken) and die in 1990 at the age of 54.  The film resoundingly fails the Bechdel test.  Host Ryan calls Clarke a coward.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa's last few days have been a dazzling swirl of headlines and heart emojis as she balances her booming career, high-profile romance, and a few eyebrow-raising rumors. First up, the biggest biographical development has to be her whirlwind relationship with British TV host Chris Hughes. The pair met on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year, and what started as on-screen chemistry quickly turned into an international love story once they left the house. JoJo has openly shared that though they are not engaged, wedding plans are already on her mind—she's picked out a baby-blue color scheme and is apparently ready to help Chris with the music playlist, but is less enthused about his love for British boy bands like The 1975. Instead, she jokes she'd rather hear NSYNC or Backstreet Boys. According to interviews in The Guardian and The Sun, the couple is considering a future together that may even include JoJo relocating permanently to the UK. She's also admitted to pestering Hughes about starting a family, openly stating that baby talk is already a recurring theme between them, though she reminds fans that these plans, while earnest, are not happening just yet.Pregnancy rumors went viral when a TikTok video showed Chris rubbing JoJo's belly, but JoJo quickly swatted those down with her trademark humor. In a “two truths and a lie” game posted on TikTok, she made light of the speculation by including “I'm pregnant” among her options, turning gossip into another chance to promote her music and engage fans. JoJo's open discussions about wanting to become a mom someday fueled the internet fire, but for now, she is focusing on her relationship and career, not immediate parenthood.Her busy summer has also included a globe-trotting schedule, recently lighting up social feeds with PDA-filled snapshots of a Royal Caribbean cruise with Chris, her parents, and her brother. If that weren't enough, JoJo delighted long-time fans with a heartfelt reunion with former Dance Moms coach Abby Lee Miller during a live Access Daily broadcast in Orlando, a nostalgic moment that had both stars reminiscing about their first impressions and the early days of JoJo's rise to fame.On the business front, JoJo remains a dominant figure among Gen Z millionaires, leveraging her TikTok and YouTube stardom into a merchandising empire. With her Infinity Heart Tour starting soon and high-profile concerts scheduled in Dublin and beyond, her relentless pace shows no sign of slowing. Social media yet again erupted during Pride Month after Chris posted a cozy photo, and JoJo responded with a message about love and acceptance, reinforcing her role as an LGBTQ+ icon and unbothered headline generator. For JoJo, it's always love, color, and just a hint of mischief—onstage and off.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Wolfgang: Death & Defiance - Unknown '80s Pop Duo Walk the Streets of Peterborough

Few television characters have managed to leave such an indelible mark on global comedy as Mr Bean, Rowan Atkinson's rubber-faced master of physical awkwardness and innocent mischief. In this episode, Beth and Jimmy delve into Bean's story, from his creation during Atkinson's Oxford days to the blend of mime, slapstick, and absolute timing that made him universally beloved. They explore how Mr Bean crashed onto British TV screens in 1990 in a world dominated by dialogue-heavy sitcoms, using minimal speech and maximum chaos to turn everyday troubles into epic absurdity that speaks to all ages and backgrounds. Listeners will hear about the universe of Mr Bean: his lavender flat, hapless exploits with trusty Mini, and his touching friendship with Teddy. From outlandish escapades at church, department stores, and the launderette to epic quests for breakfast, Bean's often logic-defying actions are examined for both comic brilliance and their subtle social commentary. Beth and Jimmy also break down how even Bean's signature adversary—the blue Reliant Regal—became a comic legend in its own right. This episode brings out the genius underlying Mr Bean's seemingly simple style. Atkinson's fine control of gesture and facial movement, his calculated avoidance of dialogue, and his relentless pursuit of inventive solutions create comedy that bridges divides of language and culture. For children, Mr Bean is a fellow explorer of possibility; for adults, he is a mirror to the British eccentric quietly rebelling against expectation. Beth and Jimmy discuss the reach of Mr Bean—sold to 245 countries, viewed by billions, and now an icon on YouTube and in animation—shedding light on why Bean remains fresh, funny, and ever relevant. The journey continues with Mr Bean's transformation into movies, animated series, and viral digital stardom. Listeners learn how Bean's influence has spilled into global comedy, education, and even language-learning, while Atkinson's own reflections reveal the risks and rewards of playing a beloved character for decades. Bean's ongoing adventures highlight not just failed DIY fixes and pratfalls, but deeper truths about resilience, loneliness, and the universal nature of laughter. Beth and Jimmy wrap up by reflecting on why Mr Bean stands as a monument to pure comedy—a series understood in any language, by any age, at any moment. With classic scenes, new animated escapades, and a presence that endures from television to social media memes, Mr Bean offers proof that humanity's oddest failures are often its most beloved strengths. This episode is a celebration of the timeless joy that only the strangest child-in-a-man's-body could provide.

Go full post-credits scene, because we are back for our seventh season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going all the way back to 2009's offering in Northern Ireland & Jordan! Over these nine weeks, three guys with non-Mole personalities - Logan, Michael & Bindles - have been recapping and looking back at all that happened on a titanic season that people have been asking us to do for years, concluding with the final two episodes and reveal of Jon as the Mole! In this episode - we do something very rare, Bindles & Michael root for Logan's downfall, Logan reveals why he was so wrong, our favourite Amazing Race winners find a perfect WIDM task, Sam learns what kissing is, another manoeuvre is added to the practical driving test, we look at what put Jordan on their radar, there's another lecture about British TV, the Triclinium is one of the coolest reveal locations they've ever done, Logan has to account for his sins, Bindles goes through the unaired clues, we finally answer some questions, the season is eulogised, we consider a Renaissance Historians and we finish with an announcement.

We will - however - still be doing First Suspicions and Suspect List for both seasons.) Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though. This episode does spoil the winner of WIDM Argentina between 34:33-35:01.

TV Guide Magazine's Matt Roush joins Debbie Monterrey with a preview of the new season of 'Peacemaker' and a British TV mystery.

ITV's Bad Girls burst onto British screens in 1999, plunging viewers behind the gates of fictional Larkhall Prison. Unlike any drama before it, the series offered a raw, unfiltered look at the lives of women navigating incarceration, authority, and survival. With its blend of gritty realism, dark humor, and soap-opera twists, Bad Girls became a prime-time staple—redefining what was possible for female-led storytelling on UK television. At the heart of the show was its brilliant ensemble cast, including the comic partnership of the Two Julies, the formidable Yvonne Atkins, and the infamous officer Sylvia “Bodybag” Hollamby. The characters were deeply flawed, resilient, and relatable, infusing the series with moments of both aching vulnerability and riotous fun. Their dynamic relationships and memorable quirks kept fans hooked, while also revealing the solidarity and divisions found in prison life. Bad Girls wasn't afraid to confront serious issues that most dramas skirted around. From wrongful convictions and miscarriages to domestic abuse, addiction, and institutional corruption, the show tackled taboos head-on. Its honest depictions sparked national debates, paved the way for nuanced LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream media, and highlighted the realities and injustices faced by women inside the prison system. Throughout its eight-season run, the series delivered unforgettable moments—heartbreaking goodbyes, shocking betrayals, ghostly twists, wild escapes, and even musical interludes. Later seasons leaned into high drama and sometimes camp excess, but always circled back to the fierce camaraderie and survival instinct at the series' heart. Viewer loyalty soared, with millions tuning in and supporting iconic characters even as new faces and scandals emerged. Today, Bad Girls stands as a trailblazer in British TV, influencing dramas and pop culture far beyond its original broadcast. Its impact endures: from a beloved West End musical to the enduring popularity of its stars, the legacy of Larkhall lives on—reminding us that, even behind locked doors, hope, humor, and rebellion will always find a way.

From slapstick games to surprise celebrity interviews, Live & Kicking offered three hours of fast-paced, anarchic fun that brought entire families together in front of the telly. In this episode, we trace the roots of Live & Kicking, beginning with its predecessor Going Live! and following its evolution from the original presenting dream team of Andi Peters, Emma Forbes, and John Barrowman, all the way through the Zoe Ball and Jamie Theakston era.

You'll hear about unforgettable moments like the infamous gunge tank, the puppet chaos of Trevor and Simon, and live performances from the hottest 90s pop acts. We also explore the behind-the-scenes madness of putting together three hours of live content every week – including technical glitches, last-minute script changes, and celebrity surprises. But it wasn't just about fun and games. Live & Kicking created a community. It gave kids a sense of participation, whether through live phone-ins, competitions, or studio audience antics. It was children's television at its most ambitious and accessible, reflecting the optimism and energy of the 90s while giving young viewers a voice. So whether you were glued to the screen in your pajamas or trying to win a Sega Mega Drive over the phone, this episode will bring the nostalgia flooding back.

This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by the inspirational Angela Rippon, whose remarkable career in television and journalism spans nearly six decades. From breaking barriers as one of the first female newsreaders on British TV to her more recent appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, Angela reflects on the evolution of her work and the deep personal passion that drives her today: getting the nation moving.  In this uplifting episode, Louise and Angela explore how dance and movement can be powerful tools for supporting long-term health and wellbeing. Angela shares the inspiration behind her Let's Dance! initiative and explains why she believes dance is a ‘superpower' – capable of improving physical health, mental wellbeing, and social connection at every stage of life.   From using dance in schools to helping people with Parkinson's, Angela makes a compelling case for why dance should be seen as an investment in our ‘wellbeing pension plan'.  Whether you're eight or 80, this conversation will inspire you to see dance not just as exercise, but as joy, connection, and a key to ageing well. As Angela says: ‘My ambition is to die young – as late as possible.'  Watch on YouTube   Find out more about Let's Dance! here    We're delighted to have been nominated in the Listeners' Choice category for the British Podcast Awards.

In this episode, we turn our spotlight on Maid Marian and Her Merry Men, one of the most inventive, anarchic, and subversively brilliant children's shows ever to grace British television. Airing from 1989 to 1994 on BBC1, the series took the well-worn legend of Robin Hood and flipped it on its head—putting Marian in charge, packing in satire, and setting it all to music. With its wild humor, catchy songs, and fearless rewriting of folklore, it wasn't just a kids' show—it was a revolution in tights. Created and written by Blackadder's Tony Robinson, the show emerged from a frustration with how the Robin Hood story traditionally sidelined Marian. Robinson gave her center stage, crafting a heroine who was clever, tough, and completely unimpressed by Robin's vanity. The result was a feminist reimagining wrapped in slapstick and song, starring Kate Lonergan as the no-nonsense leader of the gang, and Wayne Morris as the hilariously clueless Robin. The cast included a dream team of comedic talent, from Danny John-Jules as reggae-rapping Barrington to Tony Robinson himself as the gloriously petty Sheriff of Nottingham. Behind the scenes, Robinson's writing combined medieval mayhem with razor-sharp satire—skewering bureaucracy, gender roles, and even the BBC. The show constantly broke the fourth wall, embraced anachronisms, and gave kids a taste of social commentary disguised as comedy. Original songs by Nick Russell-Pavier and David Chilton helped cement the show's unique identity, with unforgettable tunes like “Mud” and “Call The Dentist” becoming instant classics. But what truly made Maid Marian special was its refusal to patronize its young audience. Instead, it treated them as smart, curious, and capable of catching both the fart jokes and the political ones. Whether you're a long-time fan or a curious newcomer, this episode is a joyous celebration of a show that dared to be different. We'll revisit its origins, its enduring cultural impact, and the reasons why Maid Marian and Her Merry Men remains one of British TV's greatest hidden treasures. So grab your green tights, cue the music, and join us as we return to the forest where the real brains of the operation wore a dress—and carried the whole legend on her shoulders.

As part of of our build-up to the Tour de France, this episode of KM0 from the Friends of the Podcast feed is available for all for a limited time. This is one of the most whimsical episodes of KM0 we've ever made. It was recorded on the second rest day during the 2017 Tour de France in the style of the old British TV show Juke Box Jury. François Thomazeau took Lionel Birnie and Richard Moore on a musical journey to discover music inspired by the Tour de France. Over a pre-dinner drink or two, they assessed the musical offerings of artists such as Les Freres Jacques, Alex Marco and former professional rider Jean-François Bernard and decided they ranged from the quirky to the weird, the catchy to the downright diabolical.
