Podcast appearances and mentions of Emma Jane Unsworth

The comedian and podcaster Stevie Martin is currently battling it out in the latest series of Channel 4's award winning show Taskmaster - you might have enjoyed her "most snooty possession" which was a portrait of her pet tortoise in military uniform. She'll be here to tell us all about getting "the call" and her favourite games...sorry... tasks. Its also tricky-book-titles week on Loose Ends. The award winning novelist and screenwriter Emma Jane Unsworth likes a one word name for her books - the best selling Adults and Animals, which went on to become a feature film starring Holliday Grainger, and scooped Emma a British Independent Film Award - for the script. Her new book is called Slags, Stuart'll be finding out why. And travel writer Ben Aitken went to twelve of the least popular spots in the UK and Ireland for his book - Sh**ty Breaks. He'll be explaining the joys of travelling in the opposite direction to everybody else and still managing to get a great instagram photo. Music will be from the Jess Gillam Trio and former Welsh Music Prize winner Georgia Ruth. Presented by Stuart Maconie Produced by Olive Clancy

Scientists who study the mind and brain have always been drawn to periods of intense change—to those life stages marked by rapid transformation. Infancy is one of those periods, of course. Adolescence is another. But there's a less-discussed time of life when our brains and minds have to reconfigure: the window surrounding when we become parents.  My guests today are Dr. Winnie Orchard and Dr. Jodi Pawluski. Winnie is a cognitive neuroscientist and postdoctoral scholar at the Yale Child Study Center. Jodi is a neuroscientist, author, and podcaster affiliated with the University of Rennes in France. Both are experts in the neural and cognitive changes that surround pregnancy, motherhood, and parenthood more generally.  Here, we talk about the idea of "matrescence" as a distinctive developmental stage. We discuss the research around memory loss in early motherhood, as well as findings that certain brain areas get fine-tuned during this period. We talk about postpartum anxiety, depression, and psychosis, and what may be causing them. We consider the finding that having children—and, in fact, having more children—seems to confer a protective effect on the aging brain. Throughout we talk about which of these changes also occur in fathers and other non-birthing parents. And we consider the difficulty of scientifically studying a period of life—parenthood—that is not only rife with social and psychological changes, but also fraught with expectations and narratives. Alright friends, I hope you enjoy this one. As you'll hear, this research area is very much still in its infancy. There are definitely some provocative findings. But maybe more exciting are all the questions that remain. Without further ado, here's my chat with Dr. Winnie Orchard and Dr. Jodi Pawluski. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode will be available soon.   Notes and links 2:45 – For more on the relationship between adolescence and “matrescence,” see this recent review paper by Winnie and colleagues in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. 6:00 – For discussions surrounding the idea of “mommy brain,” see Jodi's podcast, ‘Mommy Brain Revisited.' See also this recent editorial by Jodi and colleagues in JAMA Neurology.  17:00 – A recent meta-analysis on cognitive impairment during pregnancy.  25:00 – A study by Winnie and colleagues showing subjective—but not objective—memory deficits in mothers one year after giving birth.   26:45 – An influential study showing structural changes in the brain following pregnancy. The same study also found that some of these changes correlated with measures of maternal attachment. 28:00 – A recent review article by Jodi and colleagues on the idea of neural fine-tuning in early motherhood.   41:45 – A recent review paper by Jodi and colleagues about the neural underpinnings of postpartum depression and anxiety.  44:00 – A review paper about postpartum psychosis.  51:00 – A study on the prevalence of postpartum depression across cultures.  58:00 – A 2014 review of research on mother-child synchrony. 1:00:00 – A recent study by Winnie and colleagues looking at how having children affects later life brain function. Another study by Winnie and colleagues on the same topic.  1:13:00 – Several studies have documented general changes in “Big 5” personality factors as people age. A study examining this in both American and Japanese participants is here. 1:18:00 – Since we recorded this interview, the publication date for the English version of Jodi's book has been scheduled. It comes out in September 2023—more info here.   Recommendations  Dr. Orchard recommends: Baby Brain, Sarah McKay Mother Brain, Chelsea Conaboy   Dr. Pawluski recommends: Matrescence, by Lucy Jones After the Storm, by Emma Jane Unsworth   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to UCLA.

Abigail Bergstrom is a Welsh writer, editor and agent, who has worked in publishing for over a decade. She is an industry leader and an expert and has edited some of Britain's most prominent feminist voices, she was nominated for Literary Agent of the Year 2020 and has helped build some of today's biggest book brands. But today, we are here to talk about her debut novel What A Shame! A brilliantly fresh novel with blistering humour reminiscent of Emma Jane Unsworth and the raw vulnerability of I May Destroy You. It is a book about female shame, friendship, grief, about trying to heal yourself, about trying unorthodox remedies to go deeper into yourself and explores both the beauty and the pain of figuring hard things out. We talk about burnout, the downsides of pushing yourself to the limit, writing a novel in secret, how to deconstruct your working life and how to reshape it. I loved this conversation and it was a treat getting to chat to Abbie :)Abbie's book What A Shame: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9781529367065Check out this survey from The Post Office, a current sponsor of Ctrl Alt Delete!https://survey.euro.confirmit.com/wix/5/p299364423555.aspx See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode is from last year (2020) with the brilliant Emma Jane Unsworth, award-winning novelist and screenwriter. Her latest novel, ADULTS, is a comedy about a thirty-something woman whose life is falling apart and her strange relationship with social media and the paperback is out now. Her previous novel, ANIMALS, was adapted into a film and Emma wrote the screenplay and she is currently adapting ADULTS for television. Since this episode aired, her memoir After The Storm was published, an incredible piece of writing breaking the silence on postnatal depression. I really recommend it!

Jo came to Cornerstone having spent five years at HanWay Films where she managed the international launches and releases of award-winning films including Todd Haynes’ Carol and John Crowley’s Brooklyn.  We talk about the intricacies of marketing for a sales company as opposed to a distributor, the creative point of view it requires, what happens when a film goes to a market and the best piece of advice that Jo has ever received. As someone who had a brief stint working in sales it was a joy to revisit that element of the film industry and also during a year where things have felt decidedly quieter on the cinematic front, to be reminded of the madness and magic of a market. So I’m very grateful to Jo for joining me.

Our final guest for this Flux & Flow series of our TOAST Podcast is the award-winning novelist and screenwriter Emma Jane Unsworth. In October, Laura Barton travelled to Brighton to meet with Emma at the seafront. With seagulls screeching and waves lapping on the shingle shore, they discussed sea swimming, love, leaving the North and Emma’s experience of postnatal depression. Emma Jane Unsworth has written three novels, including the Sunday Times bestseller Adults. She adapted her novel Animals into a screenplay, and the film, starring Alia Shawkat and Holliday Grainger, premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2019. Unsworth won the British Independent Film Award for Best Debut Screenplay in 2019. She is currently writing several shows for television, including an episode of a comedy drama with Stephen Merchant and a new comedy for the BBC.

This video is so far from where I want it to be. My audio settings were messed up, I lost my tripod mount piece, and my camera died half-way through. I wanted to film and upload this next episode as a video episode, to set a new precedent, so I did and I’m still uploading it because perfection isn’t real! Ha ha.   Today I’m reviewing “Grown Ups” by Emma Jane Unsworth– a book I picked up because I thought it might be vaguely relatable to my life and, turns out, it was. This book made me laugh, hold my breath, and have a small emotional spiral. #Casual   “Grown Ups” is about Jenny McLiane; a 30-year-old woman working as a columnist at an online magazine The Floof. Her whole identity is wrapped up in her social media life, so when her ex leaves her, her body fails her, her friends start to leave her, and her mother moves back in with her… it’s a lot. I went on a journey with this book and I wasn’t at all expecting to. Honestly, if you’re in social media at all I recommend you listen to this book!   Spoilers begin at 11:46 and end at 15:35. This is a short episode, but hopefully next time I’ll have my tech stuff sorted out and we’ll get a longer one.

We speak to Tiffany Kagure Mugo about her book, ‘Quirky Quick Guide to Having Great Sex', and to Mia Arderne about her new novel, ‘Mermaid Fillet', and get recommendations from Book Lounge staff. Mia recommends ‘Kinnes' by Chase Rhys, Thandi recommends ‘The Vanishing Half' by Brit Bennett, Belinda enjoyed ‘Adults' by Emma Jane Unsworth, and Megan loved ‘Ride or Die' by Khurrum Rahman.

Tom Edwards and Fernando Augusto Pacheco bring you highlights from the past week on Monocle 24. We explore Helsinki’s Hotel Torni, sit down with The Drug Store co-founder Clemens Böninger and review ‘Adults’, the new novel by Emma Jane Unsworth.

Lucy Scholes and Susannah Butter discuss Emma Jane Unsworth’s new novel about Jenny McLaine, a thirtysomething London journalist whose addiction to social media begins to take over her life.

Last Friday, Gwyneth Paltrow launched her new TV series ‘Goop Lab’ on Netflix. It explores everything from reducing your biological age to having the best female orgasms and healing yourself with energy. But where’s the line between fact and fiction when it comes to wellness? What draws people in to trying the vast and bizarre range of creams and contraptions on offer? And what is it about our psychology that means it rarely matters whether the claims are backed up by science? Jane is joined by cognitive neuroscientist Prof Tali Sharot, consultant dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto and self-confessed beauty product obsessive, Ree. In France there’s a debate going on about very young people having sexual relationships with older, more powerful men: something that used to be deemed acceptable in some intellectual circles. It’s because a woman called Vanessa Springora – a leading French publisher – makes allegations in a book which came out this month, that she was groomed when she was 14 by a much admired author who was 50. Anne-Elisabeth Moutet a French journalist, explains what’s happened, why it’s significant and how it's not acceptable anymore. Last week a written judgement was published in the family division of the High Court. Ms Justice Russell ruled in favour of a woman seeking a fresh hearing in the family courts. Her child custody case had originally been handled by a senior judge, Judge Tolson. In the course of his fact finding he ruled that the woman had not been raped by her former partner because she had “taken no physical steps” to stop him. The appeal judgement criticised him for his outdated ideas of what constitutes consent. It also recommended that family court judges who regularly deal with allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence should be required to undergo training to the same level as judges trying these charges in criminal courts. Jane discusses the significance of this judgement and what needs to happen next with Jenny Beck, Director of Beck Fitzgerald solicitors, a specialist family law firm and Louise Tickle, a journalist who specialises in social affairs and family law Jane talks to the award winning novelist and screen writer Emma Jane Unsworth about her new novel 'Adults' – about friendship, family, love and what it means to be an adult.

Director Sophie Hyde joins Matthew Pejkovic of Matt's Movie Reviews to talk about her new film "Animals", what drew her to Emma Jane Unsworth's novel, changing the setting from Manchester to Dublin, casting Holiday Granger, and more!

There's a remarkable female gaze in Animals, Sophie Hyde's adaptation of Emma Jane Unsworth's novel, and a wonderful sense of insightful observation in the world occupied by and behaviours of the two friends whose stories it tells. Mike, who'd been anticipating it keenly since seeing the trailer, feels a little shortchanged by the triteness of the larger themes on which the film builds and the relative lack of excitement in comparison to what the trailer conveyed. José shares a little of that feeling but is keen to express his pleasure at seeing a film so confidently and originally expressive of a female perspective, particularly in its sex scenes. And we both adore the stars, Alia Shawkat for her fabulously performative comic theatrics, and especially Holliday Grainger for her extraordinary, sensitive, soulful expression of a girl falling in and out of love and friendship and upset with her own failings. Animals is a film that explodes with creativity and expressiveness in the details, but whose big picture leaves us wanting. Recorded on 19th August 2019.

Two Brit indie film productions arrive at once: Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir is a slightly autobiographical work about a struggling young film-maker's relationship with a charismatic drug addict.

Animals is a 2019 internationally co-produced drama film directed by Sophie Hyde. It was screened in the Premieres category at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. An adaptation of Emma Jane Unsworth's 2014 novel of the same name, the film follows best friends Laura and Tyler whose lifestyle comes under scrutiny just as Laura becomes engaged to a teetotaller. Best friends Laura, a struggling writer working as a barista, and her best friend and flatmate Tyler, an American woman who is estranged from her family, are both heavy partyers living in Dublin. The early part of the film shows their close friendship in their late twenties as they consume large quantities of wine and drugs through the night, sometimes engaging in casual sex with a man but mostly just enjoying each other's company. Tyler is included in Laura's family gatherings, with a pregnant sister (who becomes mother to a baby daughter) playing a part in the plot and character development. Circumstances change when Laura meets and then gets engaged to concert pianist Jim, who shortly afterwards gives up alcohol. Laura continues her partying lifestyle with Tyler, but starts spending nights with Jim. Inevitably the dynamics of the various relationships change, and more so after they become friends with a poet, Marty, to whom Laura is attracted, and his circle of literary friends. Laura struggles to make progress with her novel throughout the film. Various events in each of their lives unfold, with questions about life, and especially women's roles, raised and explored both implicitly and explicitly. With the development of the women's friendship front and centre of the film, it doesn't take the easy route to a typical neat and happily resolved "Hollywood ending", but ends optimistically with Laura finding her creativity beginning to flow as she finds a way forward. -------------------- FOLLOW US -------------------- NADIA SAWALHA & FAMILY https://www.instagram.com/nadiasawalhaandfamily.com http://www.twitter.com/nadiasawalha For more movie news follow: POPCORN JUNKIES: https://www.instagram.com/popcornjunkiesmovieclub/ ------------------------------------ BUSINESS ENQUIRIES ------------------------------------ For business enquiries contact: michelle@doghouse-media.co.uk --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/popcorn-junkies/message

It feels really special to introduce my guest for this finale episode - producer Sarah Brocklehurst -  because 5 years ago I went to an event organised by Underwire Film Festival called Women Write Comedy where she was a speaker and I remember finding her really inspirational then - I wrote a whole blog post about the day and even plucked up the courage to go and speak to her about her career, so to then be hosting this podcast episode where we talk explicitly about just that, feels really serendipitous. Sarah is a BAFTA-nominated producer whose latest project ANIMALS is being released in UK cinemas this Friday the 2nd of August. It’s directed by Sophie Hyde - whose debut film 52 Tuesdays I urge you to find and watch if you haven’t already - and it stars Holliday Grainger and Alia Shawkat as two party-loving best friends as they navigate the ups and downs of life in Dublin. At once a celebration of female friendship and an examination of the choices we make when facing a crossroad, ANIMALS is an honest, funny, edgy, unconventional and bittersweet snapshot of modern women, based on the novel by Emma Jane Unsworth, who also wrote the script. Sarah and I chat extensively about pulling that production together, from hearing about the book on Twitter to premiering it at Sundance earlier this year. We talk about the advantages of running your own company from home and how she stayed motivated during the funding and pre-production process. Thank you so much for listening to Series 1 of Best Girl Grip. I'll be back in October with fresh guests and fresh eps.

His work is characterised by playful interactivity - will it impress or delight our reviewers? Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Abigail Morris, Emma Jane Unsworth and Kerry Shale. The producer is Oliver Jones.

Book Slam's 68th podcast rushes along like a train in the company of NED BEAUMAN discussing his new novel 'Glow', and EMMA JANE UNSWORTH introducing 'Animals'. There's music from BENIN CITY who put the 'ill' into brillo pads and poetry from ELVIS MCGONAGALL, putting the 'don' into Caledonia. Patrick's got beard envy, Elliott's got every other kind.
