Podcast appearances and mentions of Deborah James

We hear a lot about the pressures boys and young men are under and how many of them are looking to the online world - or manosphere as it's sometimes called - to find answers. Prompted by the drama Adolescence on Netflix, the topic has been in the news regularly in recent weeks. This week the Women and Equalities Select Committee heard evidence on the manosphere. Anita Rani is joined by Will Adolphy, who was a dedicated follower of the manosphere until, in his mid 20s, he had a breakdown. He went offline for five years and rebuilt his life. He is now a psychotherapist, coach, and goes to schools to speak about healthy masculinity.This week ITV has announced a shake up of the scheduling and production of its popular daytime shows including Lorraine, Loose Women and Good Morning Britain. Whilst Good Morning Britain will be extended, both Lorraine and Loose Women will see their number of shows cut. Entertainment journalist and expert on all-things TV Scott Bryan unpicks why this is happening.The Bombing of Pan Am 103 – is a new BBC factual drama series. Based on the true story of the bombing of a passenger flight over a small Scottish town of Lockerbie on 21 December 1988, in which 270 people were killed. Kathryn Turman was Assistant to a federal Senator at the time of the bombing. After the trial she joined the FBI where she founded the agency's first ever Victim Services Division. Her experience in the aftermath of the Pan Am bombing proved invaluable to the FBI's response to the 9/11 attacks, and she has aided victims and families throughout major moments in history including the Las Vegas shooting and the Boston marathon bombing. She discusses her mission to help victims, and what inspired her work in public service.Next month marks three years since the journalist and host of BBC's You, Me and the Big C podcast Deborah James - known to many as Bowel Babe - died, aged 40, five years after her stage four bowel cancer diagnosis. Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer type and cause of cancer death for women. Since the early 1990s, the incidence rate in women aged 25-49 has increased by almost 60%. Bowel cancer is treatable if diagnosed early. Heather James, Deborah's mother, is fulfilling a promise to her daughter and continuing with Deborah's awareness-raising work - she and Michelle Mitchell, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK, are in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Heather James is best known to us all as the mum of Deborah James, the beautiful bowelbabe, who I interviewed for Spinning Plates 3 years ago. That was the year before her premature death at the age of 40, from bowel cancer.Heather explained how she is grieving but working. Not only working in her day job as a gymnastics teacher, but also doing everything that Deborah would have continued with - including campaigning to highlight April as Bowel Cancer Awareness month.Deborah spent the last weeks of her life at her mum and dad's house in the summer of 2022 surrounded by her family. Heather and her husband Alistair found themselves looking after Deborah and, to everyone's surprise, hosting Prince William when he came to their garden to make Deborah a Dame. Heather talked about caring for Deborah when she came home to die, but said Deborah's zest for life - and campaigning - meant that far from going quiet, it was a busy time of fun, outings, a book, a rose and of course, a Damehood.It struck me that Heather is everything you would hope to be, as a mum in such a dreadful circumstance. She is planning to life life to the full, as Deborah wanted her to. And we spoke, just before her son's wedding where the entire family were planning to party and celebrate just as Deborah would have done if she were still here. And speaking as someone who witnessed her 40th birthday party in full swing, boy, did Deborah know how to party!Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones Hosted on Acast.

Kay Binnersley is an award winning hairdresser and bridal hairstylist who has been in the industry for over 37 years. Working for herself from the age of 18, first as a freelancer then the last 26 years in her own salon. But Kay isn't here to talk about hair, she's here to help lift the stigma around open up the conversation around Lichen Sclerosus and Vulva cancer. If you're sat there thinking you've never heard of Lichen Sclerosus, neither had Kay until she was diagnosed with the condition recently. She is now on a mission to help educate other women especially as it's a subject no one wants to talk about. Conversations around breast cancer are now positively shared, Deborah James did an amazing job at lifting the taboo around bowel cancer yet mention the 'Vulva' word and we still find it uncomfortable. So what is Lichen Sclerosus? Lichen sclerosus is a long-term (chronic) skin condition. It causes the skin to become thin, white, and wrinkly. Lichen sclerosus may occur in men, women, and children at any age. But it is most common in women older than age 50, which is even more reason for us to be talking about it! The symptoms of vulval LS vary from person to person. Sometimes, it causes no symptoms and is discovered during tests for other health problems. The affected area of the vulva may: be very itchy and sore, which may be worse at night change colour, becoming pale or white develop small areas of bruising that look like blood blisters be more fragile than normal skin and possibly split The causes of vulval LS are not known. It is not possible to get LS through sexual contact. It is not a sexually transmitted disease and is not infectious. LS is also not caused by hormonal problems or an allergic reaction. Women over 50 are often struggling with other issues like cystitis, vaginal dryness and thrush which can all masque these symptoms and as not enough is known about the condition it can often be left undiagnosed. If left there is a chance it can lead to vulva cancer so it's so important we are made aware of these symptoms. Knowledge is power! Topics covered- Who is Kay Binnersley? Passion for hair First symptoms- diagnosis Dealing with pain The impact it had on Kay's confidence and daily life Knowledge is power Statistics (1 in 100 women will be diagnosed with it and 5 in 100 will turn cancerous) Why do we find it so difficult to call our vulva by it's real name? How can we lift the stigma around this The petition to gain funding for research for a cure and support for those diagnosed. Why Kay is using her voice to create awareness around this condition Don't put off going to the doctors if you are worried about any symptoms Kays positive attitude to life There is currently no cure, no remission, for Lichen Sclerosus only strong steroid ointments which put condition into remission at best. There is some evidence to suggest it may be an auto immune disorder and whilst it can affect men , it is mainly seen in women. Sufferers can live in pain and be affected physically and mentally, but it can be misdiagnosed due to lack of awareness and can increase the risk of certain cancers. Sign the petition There is currently no funding available for research to find a cure , support patients and help raise awareness. If you'd like to sign the petition to get this conversation on the table here's the link, your support is much appreciated. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/632780 What does Free to Be mean to Kay? "Free to be the person you really want to be, with no holds or ties and no fears" What does Free to Be mean to you?

(now Teneo.)“I was too young to start in corporate PR...everyone had done a Masters!”“I was too immature to be in that game”“The graduate scheme was Apprentice style…I'd never been tested like that before.”“You have a responsibility to keep learning.”11 mins Greg gives us his second in hindsight lesson: Don't get bowel cancer at 33.“I'm down half a bowel, I had chemotherapy last year.”“Deborah James is the reason I got checked, which was very lucky for me.”“We need to destigmatise chemotherapy!”“The obsessive part of me has been erased away a bit.”“I'm constantly terrified it's going to come back…so I've made some staunch lifestyle changes.”“I love that I still care about my work.”“I'm proud mentally I've retained a balance.”21 mins Greg first had symptoms in Oct 2021, when the Omicron strain of COVID was kicking off - which meant he was unable to get a GP appointment.“Because I had private healthcare, through work, there is a legitimate argument that work saved my life there.”“The NHS is the best in the world for saving your life, the worst in the world for knowing your life needs saving.”25mins Greg outlines the symptoms that mean you should go and get checked out for Bowel Cancer. Things to look out for: Blood in your poo, if your poo habits change, waking up in the middle of the night desperate to go to the toilet.27 mins Greg talks about why he will no longer eat processed or ultra-processed foods.30 mins Greg talks about his third in hindsight lesson: Don't be afraid to evolve your career.“By embracing opportunities your career will end up in a better place.”34 mins Greg talks about why “demographics are useful but fundamentally dead” 35 mins Greg describes the work Mischief is doing to try and bring science to targeting an audience with a specific passion.“Demographics are growth limiting”“Earned is essential for passion…you can't pay for passion - you have to earn it.”

Liz and Nic have been inspired by Deborah James's book, How to Live, and are trying to be more positive. Liz has a meeting with her book publisher and has been to see a new house - but is she ready to start again?

A woman who was diagnosed with stage-four bowel cancer in her late 20s has vowed to continue the work of Dame Deborah James to raise awareness. Rebecca Papa-Adams was given around a year to live 17 years ago and is now cancer free. She's spoken to the podcast about how she was misdiagnosed for 18 months and doesn't want anyone else to go through the same thing. Also in today's episode, we've spent the day in Challock where residents have been without water for almost a week. The boss of a shop there says he's lost thousands of pounds of stock. South East Water say we all need to use supplies more wisely. After the devastating wildfires in Kent this week, there's some hope that wildlife will bounce back. Hear from Stan Smith from the Kent Wildlife Trust. A watchdog says the government's response to people crossing the Channel to Kent in small boats has been 'poor' - and the system is 'overwhelmed'. It found the number making the journey - which is more than 15,000 this year - is 'unprecedented' - and found issues within leadership as well. Hear from pupils at a school in Medway who've got a cardboard cut out of their teacher to keep an eye on them in the classroom after she retires. And in sport it was an amazing night for England at the women's Euros. Hear from Maidstone's Alessia Russo after the made it through to the semi-finals.

Lauren Mahon, Steve Bland, producers Mike Holt and Al Entwistle recount treasured stories and memories of Deborah James: friend, broadcaster, campaigner, fundraiser, author, computer scientist, Dame.

In honour of the formidable Dame Deborah James, we are re-releasing this very special podcast episode. Having avidly followed the highs and lows of Deborah's journey, Holly was honoured to have had the pleasure of speaking with her in 2020, and it's a memory she will always treasure in her heart.  In this episode, Deborah James, also known as Bowelbabe, joins Holly to talk about the rebellious spirit that would define her journey, from gymnast to Deputy Headteacher, journalist to campaigner — and then coping with the news that so many of us fear. It's quite remarkable now to hear the original plans she made then, which led to her raising millions of pounds for cancer research through her Bowelbabe fund.  Deborah has left such a phenomenal mark on the world and her legacy will shine bright forever more. If there are any words to live by, it's Deborah's motto that we should all have no regrets, believe that we can do things we never thought possible, and most importantly — to always, always have rebellious hope. 

Gemma had a missed early diagnosis of bowel cancer because the doctor believed her to be too young to have cancer at the age of 30.  In the past 8 years she has undergone many operations and treatments and is now stage 4 NED. Gemma is very open about the procedures she has had and wants to use her platform to raise awareness of bowel cancer in young people and also provide a support network to people who are living with cancer.  In this conversation we cover how important it is to fight for yourself when you believe that something isn't right with your body. Also discussed are the affects of surgery and chemotherapy, and the symptoms of bowel cancer to look out for - it is very important to seek a diagnosis as early as you can.  This was recorded 2 weeks prior to Deborah James, BowelBabe, sadly passing away.

This is a special replay of an interview I did with Deborah James back in January 2018. It was just over a year after she'd been diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer and we sat in her living room, drinking tea and talking about her experience over the previous 12 months.Now, four and a half years on, Deborah, who is mum to two children, has raised an incredible amount of awareness of bowel cancer, through writing for The Sun, publishing a book, appearing on national TV, all the while sharing her highs and lows with us all.A week ago, Deborah announced that – following a particularly tough six months where she has mostly been in hospital – she is now receiving hospice at home care. She set up The Bowel Babe Fund which, incredibly, raised over £6million in under a week (and counting…) All of this was recognised when she was awarded a Damehood by Prince William.You can donate to The Bowel Babe Fund, which is raising vital money for Cancer Research UK, The Royal Marsden Hospital and The Institute of Cancer Research here. We don't know how much time is left for Deborah but in her words, the fund will help other Deborahs who have cancer.If you enjoyed this episode then please leave a rating or review - and you can subscribe to ensure you don't miss future episodes.

MICHAEL It's Friday, so that can only mean one thing! It's Five in the Eye day! Welcome to episode 0357 on Colourful Radio, with me - Michael Ohajuru - back after a break due the dreaded Covid! Thanks so much to Kola for standing in for me last week. PHIL And this is Phil Woodford joining Michael via Zoom this week and revealing that our top story is the declaration by Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer that he will step down if he is fined over the so-called #beergate episode. An example of a truly principled politician? Or an attempt to put pressure on the police? MICHAEL For story number two, we discuss the very future of the UK. As Sinn Fein becomes the largest party in the Northern Ireland assembly, pressure will be growing for a cross-border poll on unification with the Republic. Meanwhile, the SNP still dominates Scottish politics and is looking for a clean break too. PHIL What's story number three? Well, it's the Turkish airline that cancelled its take off in Israel after passengers received Airdrop photos of crashed planes on their iphones. It seemed to be a prank, but rattled a lot of nerves. MICHAEL A really sad and emotional story at number four, as BBC podcaster Deborah James announces that her bowel cancer is terminal. We all need to watch out for signs of this deadly disease. PHIL And finally this week, to wrap up the show, it's sixty grand behind sixty bars to celebrate the 60th birthday of Housemartins and Beautiful South legend Paul Heaton. MICHAEL Cheers, Paul! And that's this week's Five in the Eye! ++++

In this episode we chat to the very joyful Jada Sezer. I first met Jada at the beginning of March 2020 – a month most of us remember pretty well for some reason. Before all of that kicked off, and long before we knew our worlds were going to change so radically, we met up at the New Balance pub in London, with an impressive bunch of women including Bryony Gordon, Deborah James, Anna Harding, Emma Campbell and Andrea McLean, all of us booked in to run either the London Marathon or the London Vitality 10,000 or both. Things were beginning to feel different in that first week in March, but not so different: we talked about running, we ate a delicious lunch, we shared food off each other's plates, we hugged. Jada talks to me about her history with running, and how that started when she met Bryony for the first time over a table of sports bras. She talks about (famously) running in her underwear for body positivity, and the emotions of running a marathon, no matter what you're wearing. She also talks about her life on Instagram, and how she deals with the sadly inevitable trolling that exists on social media. We talk too about what lockdown has taught her, about her coping mechanisms, and what she thinks lockdown has taught us all. One of her favourite phrases, she says, is “this too shall pass” and it's definitely one that we should keep in mind right now.Both Jada and I are taking on the virtual Vitality London 10,000 this May. If you'd like to join us and take on a goal, you can sign up and run your 10K any day between the 29th May and 6th June. This time round, the emphasis is on our mental health; so the idea is to run for your head as well as your heart. You can walk, jog or run your 10K. It costs just £19 to enter and all finishers receive the official medal and technical tee.

Kelly is joined by Deborah James aka BowelBabe. She was a deputy head teacher, specialising in computer science, and use of e-learning. She led national research teams into growth mindsets in schools. Then, in 2016, at the age of 35, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer and her life with her young children and husband was thrown upside down. She is the host of You,Me and The Big C. 

This is the special Marathon Edition of the Women's Running podcast. On Sunday 4th October Esther, along with 43,000 others, ran the virtual London Marathon. Two women who also ran it were Deborah James and Emma Campbell, both of whom have been on the podcast before. This time we wanted to talk to them both about our experiences running our virtual races. They ran together, supporting each other every step of every mile, while raising money for their beloved Royal Marsden, a hospital that has supported and cared for them so much. You can still donate to their justgiving pages, so please do so with the links below. They talk with me here about the importance of their chosen charity, and also Deb's history with the London Marathon, the power of giant Wotsits, and the sheer joy of our virtual races. We also discuss our next racing highlight – the Vitality 10K, which you can sign up to as well before 23rd October. Again the link is below.

In episode 9 of the Women's Running podcast we talk to Deborah James, who you might know better as Bowelbabe. If someone can be the ‘face' of bowel cancer, Deborah is that person. She is vivacious, uncompromising, witty and incredibly honest about life with cancer. She's been documenting her experiences publicly for the past four years, but really came to our attention last year when she ran the Vitality 10K in her pants with a bunch of other brilliant women including Bryony Gordon, Women's Running columnist Emma Campbell and Andrea McClean. She talks to us here about her lifelong love of exercise and running, on how she has always run for her mental health, and how everyone should run in their pants. She also talks about what living with cancer is *really* like, her beloved teaching profession she currently has on pause, and the more recent strings she has added to her bow: her podcast, her column in the Sun, and her books. And in about a month's time she's going to be running the virtual London Marathon too. Make sure you cheer her along!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=67575412)

This episode of the Podcastology series includes a discussion about You, Me and the Big C. We recorded it before the death of Rachael Bland. Although the first podcast featured in this episode is about sports – but ranges much wider than that – and the second is about cancer, for Mike, what unites the two ideas is that the relationship between the presenters is the key. With Andrew Flintoff and his co-presenters Robbie Savage and Matthew Syed, Mike said he was confident about the project as soon as the three first talked together: “We sat outside a studio and within less than five minutes, I knew this was going to be amazing.” The three presenters of the cancer podcast, Rachael Bland, Deborah James and Lauren Mahon, knew each other online before the podcast, but had never actually met in person until they recorded together. When it comes to duration Mike is unapologetic about publishing podcasts that last an hour or more: “If the content's good, why do you want to cut it down?” he explains.
