Elizabeth Day had an urgent need to say something about the way we're living – about the power, politics, class, sexism, and discrimination that plague the world around us.She explores all of that, plus perimenopause and female rage, through the entertaining lens of her latest novel One Of Us.In this live Book Club chat with Fearne, Elizabeth talks about how she realised that – and wanted to write about – women so often being the victims, survivors, and scapegoats of male power and privilege. They also explore whether getting revenge is ever really as sweet as you hope it'll be...Elizabeth is famously obsessed with reality TV, so how did The Real Housewives franchise inspire parts of One Of Us, and what does she make of politicians rehabilitating their careers on reality TV and gossip podcasts?

We can learn a lot from scientists about getting comfortable with being wrong, says physicist Professor Brian Cox.In this chat with Fearne, Brian explains the difference between ‘having an argument' and ‘making an argument'. The latter gives us confidence to ask curious questions, come to our own conclusions, and remain open to being wrong, without letting ego get in the way of connection or progress.Brian talks through what the physics behind the universe says about the meaning of being human, including finding personal motivation and purpose, and whether there's life after death.Fearne and Brian also wonder how we can make sure young girls aren't discouraged from pursuing science, and Brian tells the story of being on the set of a famous alien movie...Tickets for Brian's 2026 world tour – Emergence – are available now.

You're a growth-minded leader. You see possibilities everywhere. You believe your team can do more, be more, achieve more. So why does it feel like you're the only one? Why does every conversation about change feel like pushing a boulder uphill? Why do your ideas land with silence? Why does it feel like you're dragging them forward instead of leading them there?

This week, I'm sharing a question a client asked me that I cannot stop thinking about. And I promise—the answer is going to surprise you.

Hey Friend! You've been told you need executive presence. Stand taller. Speak with authority. Dress the part. Master your vocal tonality. Control the room. But here's what nobody's saying: if you're exhausted from being "on" all the time, if you're walking into the boardroom looking the part but feeling like an imposter inside, the problem isn't your presence. The problem is you're performing a role instead of embodying who you actually are. I've worked with dozens of C-suite and government leaders who have all the right moves, all the right credentials, and they're still paralyzed by self-doubt. They're wondering when someone's going to realize they're faking it. And no amount of power poses or wardrobe upgrades is going to fix that.

Can I be honest? I sat down to record this episode with absolutely nothing. Zero inspiration. My first thought? "Great, Tami. You teach people about alignment and you can't even show up for your own work." But here's what I realized: that feeling wasn't writer's block. It was my soul tapping me on the shoulder saying, "We need to talk." And if you're listening to this feeling the exact same way about your leadership right now—like you're going through the motions but can't remember the last time you felt truly connected to why it matters—this episode is for you.

Hey Friend! Let me ask you something—how much time and money have you spent trying to fix the way you lead? Another book, another certification, another workshop promising the breakthrough you've been searching for?

Hey Friend! Can I tell you something that might surprise you? The leaders I work with who command the room, make decisions with ease, and build powerhouse teams aren't spending their time chasing the latest leadership trend. They're not jumping from framework to framework. They've mastered five simple habits that have nothing to do with business books and everything to do with becoming the person others naturally want to follow. And here's the thing: these habits happen behind closed doors. They're invisible. But they're exactly what separates leaders who perform from leaders who embody authority.  

Lulu shot to fame at 15, and she's been playing that part, masking who she really is – Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie – for the six decades since.In this chat with Fearne, Lulu explains how she felt that everything from her real name and accent, to her personality and childhood weren't good enough, so she created a character for the public to love.
