A new series was released this week on Netflix. It is called Man with 1,000 Kids, and Netflix is billing it as the true story of Jonathan Meijer, a man accused of travelling the world, deceiving women into having his babies - via sperm donation - on a mass scale. Nuala McGovern talks to Jonathan Meijer, the sperm donor, to mums Natalie and Suzanne, who had a baby conceived with Jonathan's donor sperm, to Natalie Hill, the executive producer who pitched the original idea for these films to Netflix and to Rachel Cutting, director of compliance and information at the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), the UK's independent regulator of fertility treatment.Gabby Logan joins Krupa Padhy to talk about her new book The Midpoint Plan. She's challenging the stereotype of middle age. With fewer insecurities, children leaving home and perhaps a bit more money in the bank, she believes we should see it as the best point in our lives. Plus, if we look after ourselves in midlife, we'll be happier in old age.Summer is here, which means it's wedding season, and brides-to-be across the country are asking themselves the eternal question: what do I wear for the occasion? Kathryn Wheeler, who married earlier this year, decided to do something that old superstitions advice against: make her own wedding dress. In the process, she learned much more than just sewing skills. She also learned a life lesson, to embrace imperfections.It's 25 year since the New York Times' best-selling author Lisa Jewell published her first novel, Ralph's Party. Since then she's written another twenty-one novels, and more recently a number of dark psychological thrillers, including Then She Was Gone, The Family Upstairs and the award winning None of This is True. She joins Krupa Padhy to discuss her latest work – Breaking the Dark – which is a Jessica Jones Marvel crime novel, exploring the world of the private detective and former superhero. By the time she was 19, Michelle De Swarte had gone from a council estate in London to the catwalks of Manhattan. Her twenties were a swirl of parties and high end glamour but by her thirties she was broke and in need - as she once put it - of a “new personality”. Desperate to find a way out of fashion, she reinvented herself as a stand-up comedian. Michelle De Swarte joins Nuala to talk about putting some of her own experiences into a new BBC comedy, Spent.Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Rebecca Myatt

Summary: Today, Holly and Devin tackle books that kick off with the inheritance of a home. They discuss how the homes are both catalysts to plot and also characters in and of themselves. While the value of the inheritance varies wildly between the books, they agree that the plot device is effective at bringing characters together and precipitating growth, evolution, and depth. These books also sit squarely in each host's wheelhouse - Holly's book being especially creepy with cults, poison, and bumps in the night, while Devin's is a manifesto of queer love, sex toys, and enthusiastic consent. Topics Discussed:   The Dagger (1:32): Holly discussed The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, a book that starts with the inheritance of a multi-million dollar home in central London, and weaves together 3 principal story lines to illuminate the creepy mystery surrounding the abandoned mansion. Her key takeaways were:   This thriller truly had it all - an abandoned creepy mansion, a cult, a suicide-murder, missing kids, a deadly herb garden, and more, ranking it in the top 3 of thriller books for Holly in 2019.  Jewell covers story arcs for the three principal characters–Libby, Lucy, and Henry Jr.--in such a way that the reader delves into multiple mysteries across various decades and geographies.  Jealousy and obsession played large roles through every arc in the book - amongst the adults, and amongst the kids/teens, which leads to dangerous decision-making and increased tension.    The Heart (16:29): Devin dove into Satisfaction Guaranteed by Karelia Stetz-Waters, a book where two women are thrust together after inheriting both a house and a sex shop for a recently deceased aunt. Her key takeaways were:   The protagonists Cade Elgin and Selena Mathis are perfect foils for each other, but instead of a typical “enemies to lovers” trope, Stetz-Waters instead explores how they can help each other evolve without the typical initial resistance. While definitely sexy, Satisfaction Guaranteed approached topics like self-pleasure, sex, consent, and toys almost academically. Running a sex toy shop is actually educational, and the tension with your co-worker is a cherry on top.  Art is a throughline of the book, with paintings, galleries, artists and the act of creation playing almost as large a role as the inherited home.    Hot On the Shelf (41:28):   Holly: The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell Devin: The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry   What's Making Our Hearts Race (45:07):   Holly: Kinokuniya, a Japanese bookstore in Manhattan Devin: Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly getting engaged and being agents of chaos Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.  Keywords: Literature, Books, Reading, Bookish, Pop-culture, Thriller, Romance, Satisfaction Guaranteed, Karelia Stetz-Waters, The Family Upstairs, Lisa Jewell, Homes, Inheritance, Inherited Homes, The Family Remains, The People We Meet on Vacation, Emily Henry, Kinokuniya, Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly, Engagement, Bookstore, Japanese, Manhattan, Cult
