There's a morbid theme to Media Storm's first new weekly format - but that's ok because it's Dying Matters Awareness Week so we all need to get talking about death! Our key voices today are people with terminal illnesses - as we discuss the late Kris Hallenga's legacy beyond 'CoppaFeel!' and the debates on assisted dying laws unfolding across the British Isles. And - we reveal the inside scoop on a controversial BBC documentary dropping next week on ‘assisted suicide'. Plus, your round up of the headlines through a Media Storm lens - if you read right-leaning papers you'll have gotten an eyeful, but left-leaning readers are left in the dark… We pick apart a divisive story about a Holocaust Memorial Day protest in Poland. It's a story that tells us more about the media than what's actually happening on the ground. This episode features lived experience speakers Jenny Carruthers, Kit, Gareth, Anne and Warwick.

Emma and Nicole speak to Nina Lopes, a menswear designer, dancer, and mother behind the account @frodayss. Just before she turned 37, she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer - an aggressive type of cancer which spreads quickly. She is currently at stage four.

Our guest today Holly McComish, an author, poet, producer and women's health ambassador from East London. At the age of 25 Holly suffered a Stroke due to the combined contraceptive pill and became determined to publish a poetry book that could raise awareness around women's health issues. And in January this year her debut book,  ‘If Tits Could Talk' was published. Hollys book is a fun and relatable poetry collection that also holds important health messages. The book uses wit, rhyme and vibrant illustrations to discuss smear tests, contraception, STI's, Menopause and the need to be breast aware and more. It's the perfect read for any woman. Holly's work was discovered and platformed by world renowned poet Rupi Kaur and has been praised by the likes of Davina McCall and Dame Kelly Holmes, as well as numerous women's health charities such as CoppaFeel and The Pink Ribbon Foundation. If Tits Could Talk is now currently stocked in over 50 independent bookshops across the UK and here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tits-Could-Talk-Holly-McComish/dp/1399943693 In the Book Collective we read chapter 1 of Twelve Moons. A Year Under A Shared Sky by Caro Giles. The first chapter is Wolf Moon, a time of deep self-reflection which Caro does beautifully in this chapter, her life now in January 2021 as a single mum with four girls in Northumberland and an insight into her life as an 18 year old partying in Guildford.   The Foodie launches with a tasty gazpacho from Jinty, this chilled tomato and vegetable cold soup is brimming with goodness.

A Listener Week Weekend Woman's Hour Special, where you – our listeners – decide what you want to hear on the programme. Our listener Rachel asked us to explore the potential of using psychedelic drugs in medicine, and whether these drugs might affect women differently to men. Anita Rani is joined by Professor David Nutt, Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London; and Catherine Bird, Senior Clinical Trials Manager at the Centre for Affective Disorders at Kings College London. Eric, a listener, suggested we find out more about Vulcana, the Victorian strongwoman known for her 'jaw-dropping feats of strength and her breath-taking beauty'. Author Rebecca F John and Sam Taylor, Britain's Strongest Woman 2020, join Nuala McGovern to talk about strongwomen past and present. A listener who we're calling Jane tells Nuala about her addiction to shoplifting. She wanted to highlight her experience and her struggle to cope with her compulsion - and explains her anxiety about regularly breaking the law. Listener Nelly has asked us to talk about living funerals. She was inspired by Kris Hallenga, the founder of the CoppaFeel breast cancer awareness charity, who has stage 4 breast cancer and who held a living funeral for herself. Nuala hears from Jenna, whose sister had a living funeral. Franceska Murati is a 27-year-old businesswoman and this year's Miss Central London. At four years old, she arrived in the UK having escaped war-torn Kosovo, smuggled in the back of a lorry. She shares her story. And our listener Laura wanted us to look at heavy metal and the role women play in the scene. Nuala speaks to Lindsay Bishop, who conducted 10 years of field work for her PhD on the subject and Becky Baldwin, a bassist from the band Fury. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Lottie Garton

For Woman's Hour's Listener Week, you, our listeners, decide what we cover on the programme. Nuala McGovern is joined by Monica and chartered psychologist Catherine Hallissey to discuss when it might be the right decision to give up on your dream. We'd like to hear your views on the issue. Have you decided to change course or realised a goal isn't meant to be? Earlier this month, we heard the experiences of young people who are opting to live at home while they study at university because of the cost of living. That prompted a listener, Dr Pam Woolner from Newcastle University, to get in touch to tell us about the latest research by her colleague Dr Sam Shields. It looks into the experiences of working class women going to university and the challenges they face. Sam is senior lecturer in Education at Newcastle University and joins Nuala along with the writer Jessica Andrews who was the first in her family to go to university, leaving her home in the north-east of England to study in London.     One of our listeners got in touch to tell us that his daughter had discovered a previously unseen poem by Georgiana the Duchess of Devonshire, who you may know about from the Keira Knightley film, The Duchess. We'll be bringing you that poem and discussing why the duchess was such an influential political figure in her day. And Nelly has asked us to talk about living funerals. She was inspired by Kris Hallenga, the founder of the CoppaFeel breast cancer awareness charity, who has stage 4 breast cancer and who held a living funeral for herself.

“After breast cancer, you can't get the old you back, not really. BUT you can build a new version of yourself; wiser, stronger, less fearful, more joyful, more aware, more compassionate and with a greater sense of purpose.” These are the words of Rosamund Dean, journalist, author, breast cancer survivor and also Holly's incredible guest this week. Rosamund's vulnerability in sharing her experiences so openly is helping countless other women to navigate their own path with this disease, and to be more aware of their wellness, at a time when cancer in the under 50s is rising globally. In this episode, Rosamund talks to Holly about the journey she has been on to rebuild her body, mind and life, and shares the highs and lows along the way. Rosamund also explains how she has navigated the world of medical treatment and surgery, and of how her experiences have not only shaped her perspective, but also her as a person. This is an episode not to be missed — full of soulful words of wisdom that will resonate with anyone who loves life and wants to seize the day. Please note that this episode contains discussion around cancer.  If you enjoyed this episode, we think you'll love Holly's Conversation of Inspiration with Kristin Hallenga, founder of Coppafeel.

Nick first, he left home at 16 to try and build a career as a performer.....he did almost every job possible as part of that journey but then did become a performer on London's West End stage starring in musicals including Book of Mormon, Cats, Fame, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Peter Pan, and Wicked. However, during the pandemic he also took a supermarket job to make ends meet, and during that time, he started experimenting with drag....and very quickly ended up appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race UK as Ella Vaday where he finished as runner up. So Nick's all about perserverance, and not being afraid to try new things. Personally, his mum has twice had cancer which has had a big impact on him, she's recovering now for a second time and he is doing a 100km CoppaFeel trek in June to raise money and awareness of breast cancer.Follow Nick/Ella on instagram/tiktok @ellavaday Follow @acountydownunder on Instagram and TikTok and visit www.acountydownunder.com for all you need to know about life abroad .Join Caroline's amazing weekly Sunrise Social clubs across the world.The podcast is proudly sponsored by Gym+Coffee: 20% Discount code: DOWNUNDER

It takes a special kind of person to be able to turn personal tragedy into purpose. But that's exactly what Kris Hallenga has done. In this episode, we explore how discovering she had incurable cancer at a young age, led Kris on a path to empowering others to check their chests and advocate for themselves in ways she was unable to.

We are back and who else would it be best to kick off this episode with than the ultimate superwoman. You might know her as the queen of the jungle, best selling author, or Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcaster, yes its Giovanna fletcher. This week Giovanna and I sat down in our zoom cupboards to chat about what drives us to the edge? Is it popstar husbands keeping us awake more than the kids, their faffing when we are trying to get out the door or maybe its just their inability to get onboard with packing cubes. Try them they will change your life, honestly! Either way I loved every minute of this chat with Mrs G and I think you will too. Press play and enjoy.Check out Giovanna's books, blogs and podcast at https://giovannafletcher.com For more info on CoppaFeel! and their treks visit - https://coppafeel.org Hosted on Acast.

“We can all do something” are the words of Josie Naughton, who is at the centre of the pioneering humanitarian aid movement, Choose Love. It's a charity that promotes compassion, people helping people, and true generosity of heart.  When Josie and her friends saw the refugee crisis unfolding in Calais in 2015 they decided to take action by raising £1,000 and organising a van load of donations to be delivered to Calais. With no former charity experience, a lack of fundraising budgets or highly paid executives, their grassroots campaign quickly went viral and redefined the sector.  Having now raised £70 million, which has helped over four million people, Choose Love is a movement ingrained in our society, and one that so many simply couldn't live without.  Josie's previous career in the music industry (working with Coldplay no less), coupled with an instinctive ability to really empathise with others, fuelled a different way of thinking. It enabled her to not just raise money but to change the world through charity. She explains how the idea for their revolutionary pop-up shop in Carnaby Street was coined, which encourages shoppers to, “Shop your heart out, leave with nothing and feel the love”.  With the largest refugee crisis since the Second World War happening right now in Ukraine, Josie speaks with Holly about her vision for the charity, its groundbreaking work and the challenges that lay ahead. And just remember as Josie says, “The refugee crisis is an extremely complex and political business in many ways, but there is nothing confusing or complex about a child having nowhere to sleep”. So listen, digest that thought, and remember – if you can choose anything, choose love.  If this episode strikes a chord, Holly's talk with Kristin Hallenga, founder of CoppaFeel!, might be of interest, too.   Plus for more unfiltered insight, subscribe to Holly's weekly newsletters on our website, where she shares small business inspiration of all kinds, exclusive nuggets of wisdom from her and her guests, plus offers, creative ideas and topical, 'ungoogleable' business advice. 

A device to help detect breast cancer has won the prestigious UK James Dyson Award.The Dotplot aims to help women self-check at home and track any changes they may find on an app.Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the UK but many women do not carry out regular self-examinations.Medical professionals have welcomed the invention but warn it is no substitute for going to the doctor.Users build a personalised map of their torso by inputting their breast size and shape and pressing the handheld device over their chest.Once a month, soundwaves are used to record tissue composition - and if there are any suspicious changes or abnormalities, users are advised to see a healthcare professional.The technology is very similar to mammograms for those over-50s or ultrasound scans offered to women worried about a lump.Oncologist Dr Frankie Jackson-Spence said: "Obviously, it's in the early stages of development, so it does need to go through medicine regulatory device checks to make sure that it is actually adequate at detecting breast cancers."It isn't a substitute for going to your doctor - it doesn't diagnose anything."Survival rateThe earlier cancerous tissue is detected, the better.The five-year survival rate for stage-one breast cancer is about 95%, which drops to about 25% by the time the cancer is in stage four.Every year, there are 11,500 breast-cancer deaths in the UK.Only 1% of cases are in males.But 64% of women aged 18-35 fail to regularly check their breasts, according to Cancer Research UK and CoppaFeel."It's important that you check all over the breast - including up into the armpit and up to the collarbone," Dr Jackson-Spence said.Nipple dischargeBut it is not just about looking for lumps.Manjeet Basra well-being head at charity Breast Cancer Now, told BBC News: "There are other signs of the disease to look for."These include nipple discharge or dimpling or puckering of the skin of the breast."While most breast changes, including lumps, won't be cancer, it's important to contact your GP as soon as possible if you notice a change to your breast that's new or unusual for you, as the sooner breast cancer is found, the more successful treatment is likely to be."Debra Babalola and Shefali Bohra, recent innovation design engineering graduates at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art, co-founded Dotplot, after Ms Bohra discovered an unusual knot - which turned out to be harmless - in one of her breasts following a gym workout."We just started to talk to clinicians and we spoke to loads of women," she said."We realised that women are looking for a way that not only tells them what has to be done but also teaches them how and why breast self-checks and supposed to be conducted.Ms Babalola said: "We're not replacing medical professionals, we are enabling women to be confident in the self-checks they are doing."Dot plot will now progress to the international stage of the James Dyson Award, with the winner announced on 16 November.The award describes itself as an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers.One in five inventors from the award goes on to commercialise their inventions.
