“I am a loving mother and grandmother. I've got 10 grandchildren. I'm an eco warrior. I'm a life adventurer.”Jo Wood is so full of life. It's hard to imagine she was once considered ‘just' the wife of one of the most iconic rock and roll figures in history, Rolling Stones frontman, Ronnie Wood. But today Jo is on a mission to be invisible no more. “You have to believe in yourself. I hadn't believed in myself, in my marriage, because it was all about my ex husband. My mother said to me once that as she got older, she became invisible. And I thought that was the saddest thing I'd ever heard.”A misdiagnosis of Crohn's disease set her on her current organic path, and now Jo is a massive advocate for environmental change, natural living and all things organic. After living the high life on the road with the Rolling Stones for over 25 years, Jo now lives happily off grid in the English countryside. “I became so obsessed with all things organic that Keith told me once: ‘the trouble with you, darling, is you are addicted to organic food'.”In today's wonderfully curious conversation, Jo shares how her biggest lows in life drove her to become an entrepreneur, bringing her amazing organic products to the world, what she learned about herself and her limitations from appearing on TV shows like Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls and Celebrity Masterchef. And if you believe in aliens, stay tuned to the end when Jo shares a story about seeing UFOs in Brazil.On today's podcast: How a Crohn's misdiagnosis put her on the organic path The impact her divorce from Ronnie had on her business Finding the mental strength to do Strictly The importance of pushing yourself Curiosity around aliens and UFOs The organic legacy she wants to leave behind Links: Twitter: JoWoodOfficial LinkedIn: Jo Wood Insta: jowoodofficial Jowood.tv

"I feel pressure to produce perfect chapattis despite being a successful comedian!" I speak with Shazia Mirza, a famous comedian and writer, appearing on Jonathan Ross, Celebrity Island with Bear Gryls, Celebs in Solitary & many more shows. Her new show ‘Coconut' will be on tour in 2021. Shazia travels all over the world doing stand-up comedy, is hugely successful but still feels the pressure to be the perfect South Asian woman. Shazia and I speak about some of the issues we've experienced in our culture: • The expectation to always be the dutiful daughter, to be the quiet subservient one • The expectation to get married, have kids, look after everyone around us • How cultural conditioning carries on even with professional successful South Asian womxn • Anti-blackness that pervades South Asian society, and what can be done to change it • Getting our names mis-pronounced (Shazia being called ‘Shava Minza' has got to be the funniest!) • How all brown women are lumped into the same person (Shazia talks about being mistaken for everyone from Meera Syal to Malala to her local GP) MORE ABOUT SHAZIA: https://www.shazia-mirza.com/Instagram: @theshaziamirzaTwitter: @shaziamirza1 RESOURCESWant to explore more about the themes discussed in this episode?

Roxanne Pallett has been cast (and since left) Celebrity Island since our last record (exploitative, much?) and Hurricane Florence is heading towards the USA. Meanwhile, 2 more people have attempted to make bookings at The High Low hotel. Our towels must be reeeeeally soft, or something.Today, we discuss Serena Williams's epic tantrum at the US Open final - and how it overshadowed Naomi Osaka's first Grand Slam win. The most interesting part of the narrative isn't the tantrum, itself: but how it's culturally metabolised. And another woman in trouble getting angry is Kirstie Allsopp who recently admitted to smashing her kids iPad in fury, after they wouldn't stop playing computer games. She's quit Twitter, amidst the furore and her parenting - and privilege - is now under scrutiny. We chew over the makings of a modern-day Twitter storm and wonder if parenting and social media are destined for trouble.Please go to https://www.gofundme.com/emergency-support-for-rwc to donate to the Refugee Women's Centre, helping refugee families in Calais and DunkirkRecommendationsAdèle, by Leila Slimani, out January 2019 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adèle-Leila-Slimani/dp/0143132180Ben Machell interviews Grenfell firefighter Edric Kennedy-Malfoy and Peter Crouch, both for The Times magazinehttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/firefighter-edric-kennedy-macfoy-what-i-saw-inside-grenfell-tower-broke-me-bl8q8h37khttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/former-england-striker-peter-crouch-on-the-pampered-lives-of-premier-league-players-7l8bjz6kwSimon Hattenstone interviews Phoebe Waller-Bridge for The Guardian magazinehttps://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/sep/08/phoebe-waller-bridge-fleabag-killing-eve-transgressive-womenZadie Smith essay on ageing, in the (current) October issue of ELLE magazine Remembering Aretha Franklin on Fresh Air https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/2018/08/16/639157290?t=1536776911699Steve Young on Here's The Thing With Alec Baldwin: https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/hidden-trove-musicals-broadways-greatest-talentsSlate's Slow Burn series two: http://www.slate.com/articles/slate_plus/watergate.html?via=gdpr-consentDaisy Buchanan on Sofie Hagen's Made of Human podcast: https://www.madeofhumanpodcast.com/episodes/2018/8/30/105-daisy-buchanan-a-gymnastics-routine-of-shameGuys We F****d with Dan Soder https://m.soundcloud.com/guyswefucked/dan-you-give-please-dont-leave-me-headWhere Should We Begin with Esther Perel:
