How humour has been her secret superpower through grief, exclusion, and reinvention. Her passion for storytelling as a way to foster empathy, connection, and belonging.

Book Club 136 - The Revenge Club - Another intercontinental Book Club this time with Kathy Lette in Sydney, Australia talking about her funny book on a serious subject The Revenge Club. They chat about how they met on a TV show with the lowest ratings of all time, how this book sprung from a real life issue for Kathy (and who all the incidents of male nastiness are based on true stories), the nature of revenge, using comedy to cover topics that aren't funny in themselves, why post-menopausal women are apparently invisible, fighting the patriarchy, doing all the accents in your own audio book, why men should read books by female authors and whether things are improving for women or getting worse (or both).Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-revenge-club-kathy-lette/7539861To see Rich on tour head here http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

I kick off Season 7 of Style DNA with a dose of true hilarity from the queen of quick quips and feminist observational wit,  the brilliant and irreverently funny million copy best-selling author Kathy Lette.  Many moons ago we shared a hilarious evening at a bar in Florence… I can remember howling with laughter all night…  Oh my, how I have laughed and laughed re-listening to this recording, trying to whittle down the clips. We talk about everything from ageist sexism, she was dropped by both her agent and her publisher because she wanted to write a book about middle aged women and being told that “Middle aged women are like Mogadishu and Sudan…we know they exist but no-one wants to go there”…She admits it knocked her confidence but the resulting novel, The Revenge Club about four scorned women and one perfect plan (every snippet apparently true but reconstructed for the purpose of the story) has clearly been Kathy's best revenge, together with a huge dollop of humour and well deserved success…    We laugh about the misogyny she and her girlfriends experienced growing up in the “surfy” culture of Australia which included “tan tattoos” …and then 80's fashion, replete with perms and shoulder pads…how she invented the term Pussy Pelmet (who knew that widely used term was her wordsmithing?). How and why she started wearing comedic clothes including a custom suit printed with corgis, originally made for when she commentated on Kate and Wills wedding for Australian TV, and then pulled it out again for an Aussie gathering at Buckingham Palace which the late Queen found highly amusing. She confesses to being “a bit of an Imelda Marcos” when it comes to shoes and the joy of receiving her good friend Kylie's cast offs …every story delivered with a sharp, often feminist, wit.   I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did having it…and if you need some light relief I urge you to download The Revenge Club or HRT Husband Replacement Therapy on Audible and let her mellifluous tones accompany you on your morning walks or a long journey … I promise your abs will get a work out and you will probably also have some light bulb moments to chuckle about.Thank you Kathy for being such a fabulous and hilarious guest. But I first came across Kathy's writing when her cult classic Puberty Blues was published in 1979. It is the definitive story of teenagers navigating the chaos of life…her observational and totally relatable humour had me, as a teenager at the time, totally hooked on her writing and I have chuckled and guffawed through most of her novels since.

This week Di and Nicola chat with the hilarious and uplifting Kathy Lette. Kathy is a celebrated comic writer who has penned 20 novels, many of which have become international bestsellers and been turned into films, TV series and even an opera. Kathy's career began when she wrote the iconic novel Puberty Blues when she was just 17. She went on to do stints as a singer, a newspaper columnist and a sitcom writer for Columbia Pictures in LA. These days she's an author, travel writer and TV presenter and her latest book, The Revenge Club, is a must-read for every woman.  Kathy talks about life in her sixties - or as she lovingly calls them, her sexties. She shares how life just gets better, you enjoy life more and you can finally put yourself first for a change. Kathy shares about the importance of female friendships and how much of a positive impact they've had on her life.  We hear what it was like for Kathy when she fell in love with Geoffrey Robertson after appearing on a TV show with him, when she was still married to her first husband, Kim. Kathy tells great stories about her life in London with Geoffrey and some of the incredible people that stayed in their attic - James Hewitt, Julian Assange and Salman Rushdie to name just a few.  You won't want to miss Kathy's story about that time she got asked out by George Clooney (an unknown, fresh-faced actor) and said ‘No'. The good news is, it's all worked out for Kathy who met her current partner whilst walking through the park on a hot summer's day - another great story you'll want to hear.  We also talk to Kathy about the benefits of laughter, her positive spirit, and the joy that she brings to the world. It was an absolute delight having Kathy entertain us in the studio and we hope you laugh as much as we did.  Follow Kathy Lette on IG here Buy The Revenge Club here Find more of Kathy's books here Follow Nicola and Di on IG hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Often the unique perspective that a diagnosis of autism brings can be intrinsically linked to creativity. However, being autistic and having a career in a creative industry is not something that is commonly talked about. This episode looks to explore why being autistic can lend itself so well to a creative profession, as well as advice from others who have successfully secured creative roles. Our Guests in This Episode: Anne Hegerty - English quizzer and television personality. Since 2010, she has been a "Chaser" on the ITV game show The Chase. Anne was diagnosed as autistic as an adult in 2005 after watching a show about autistic children and recognising their behaviours in herself. Dr Willard Wigan MBE - dyslexic micro sculptor and inspirational speaker who wasn't diagnosed as autistic until his early 50s. Despite having a very negative experience of the school system, Willard's work is now owned by household names such as Simon Cowell and Cameron Diaz. Gemma Harvey - freelance actor, writer and independent film & theatre maker. Jules Robertson - actor and son of best-selling author and outspoken comic writer, Kathy Lette. Jules has starred in roles across stage and screen and is best known for playing autistic character, Jason Haynes, in the BBC medical drama, Holby City . Jules was diagnosed as autistic at around the age of 3.

In this episode, Carrie has a chat with the celebrated, best-selling author and outspoken comic writer, Kathy Lette. Kathy has an inimitable take on serious current issues and she Carrie in a special 1-1 episode, where they share experiences of parenting autistic children. Parenting a child who is autistic can take families on an unexpected journey, from receiving a diagnosis, to adapting parenting styles accordingly, to acting as your child's advocate to get the support they need. These standalone episodes look to focus on stories of individual parents who have raised autistic children, giving a voice to their experiences.

Katrin McMillian is the founder of Hello World, which offers a remarkable solution to the challenge of delivering accessible, affordable education to communities in the developing world, through innovative solar powered, internet-enabled education Hubs, each built by the community, for the community, giving them education materials and internet access. In this inspiring episode Katrin describes how a TED talk changed her outlook on the world of education, and how she realised, and then witnessed, that children are capable of learning even in the absence of school rooms and teachers. She talks passionately about her frustrations with international development methods, and openly describes how she ended up in tears after some pitching meetings to potential funders. She admits she doesn't always cope with the demands of the charity and the rest of her life with her diplomat husband and four children and calls on us all to stop praising dads for taking on their share of domestic and parenting duties. In this episode we're also joined by author and writer, the brilliantly witty Kathy Lette. When Kathy first came to the Women of the Year lunch she was worried it might be too posh, but she discovered that “the opposite was true. It confirmed what I've always believed, that women are each other's human wonderbras. They make each other look bigger and better.” In her own inimitable style, Kathy describes the changes that have taken place at the lunch over the years, and the way life has moved on for women in society in general.

Bestselling author Kathy Lette is known for her winning combo of humour and smarts; writing 19 novels for women since 1979 (hello, Puberty Blues!) balancing comedy and serious female issues with her trademark relatability. Now in her ‘sexties’, Kathy is a vocal advocate for women’s ‘second act’ and shares many, many lessons following her own life experiences with menopause, divorces, finding love again, and adult children. Oh, and the time Hugh Jackman came to dinner at her house. So, what happens when you give yourself permission to want more in the second half of your life? We find out in FORTY.
