A new lawsuit has intensified scrutiny over whether artificial intelligence models are being trained using pirated books. Authors and publishers are reacting to claims that Meta used books from Library Genesis, a well-known piracy site, without permission. Alex Reisner, Data Journalist at The Atlantic, built a tool enabling authors to check if their books were included in the dataset. Rosie Wilby, comedian and author, found her work listed and raised concerns over consent and fair compensation. Catriona MacLeod Stevenson, General Counsel and Deputy CEO at the Publishers Association, outlines the legal response and calls for greater transparency in AI training practices.

On January 3, 2011, Rosie was abruptly dumped by her partner of five years via email. The shock and pain initially left her devastated and unable to process the breakup for years. Over time, however, this experience became the catalyst for a new creative direction.Rosie eventually used this painful experience as the foundation for a trilogy of comedy shows focused on the psychology of love. This journey led her to create the podcast "The Breakup Monologues," write two books on relationships, and speak at various festivals about human connections and breakups. In the immediate aftermath, Rosie experienced a whirlwind of emotions and sought the support of friends. Remarkably, she performed a gig that evening, using her raw emotions to create a memorable and genuine comedy performance.Rosie explores themes of communication, human connection, and the complex nature of grief in breakups. She reflects on how humour can serve as a defence mechanism and a way to process pain. She also discusses the societal implications of comedy, particularly for someone who doesn't fit the "default" comedian mold, and the challenge of balancing humour with self-compassion.Using personal experiences in her art, Rosie acknowledges both the healing aspects and the potential for self-harm in revisiting painful memories. Despite the difficulties, she views breakups as opportunities for personal growth and transformation, allowing individuals to reinvent themselves and open up to new possibilities. Rosie's story is a testament to resilience and the power of creativity in overcoming personal challenges, finding joy and strength in unexpected places.

In this episode, Matt & Liza were thrilled to be joined by award-winning comedian and creator of global hit podcast and book The Breakup Monologues, Rosie Wilby, to look at the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community during a relationship breakdown. Rosie shares her passion for understanding the impact of heart break, before exploring monogamy, the history of relationships in the community, the various forms of cheating, how lesbians pioneered conscious uncoupling way before Gwyneth Paltrow, and how the gay community approaches the adversity caused by separating differently. She explores the expectation that marriage and relationships are considered the ultimate goal, especially for women, so it can considered a crashing failure when it falls apart. And that whilst tough, you can find joy in heartbreak, and embrace freedom and growth in the vibrant period afterwards.Rosie closes with the unique challenges that arise when separating in a smaller, tight-knit community, the pressure to remain on good terms, different reasons for separating, potential lack of family support, fighting over family pets, and the challenges that surrogacy and IVF may bring.

DESCRIPTION In this episode, Katie invites the "Queen of Breakups" Rosie Wilby to share her wisdom on surviving and even thriving after a breakup. Covering everything from the seven key reasons relationships end to handling the aftermath with friends and family, Rosie provides comfort, science-backed advice, and plenty of wry wit. You'll learn why the sadness comes in waves, the mental tricks to stop feeling so terrible, and how to set boundaries with your inner circle so they can actually help (not hinder!) your healing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phone a trusted friend straight after the breakup conversation happens Write out a pros and cons list to gain clarity without the rose-tinted glasses Seek professional help if you're still struggling with closure years later Reinvent yourself by trying new hobbies, careers or travels after some time Don't rush into dating before you've had time to process the emotions Decline friends "helping" you too quickly if it doesn't feel right yet Understanding the science behind heartbreak makes you feel less alone Reframing the breakup as an exciting catalyst for positive change BEST MOMENTS "I actually went straight over to a friend's house. I rang her. It was really late at night and she was like, we are getting on a flight at 4am, but just come." "I found the writing out the cons really helpful... it's called a negative reappraisal strategy. When you look at the negatives...that clear-sightedness about the reasons why it was not the right person for you." "Be selfish. It's a great time to look after yourself and it's a great time to do that because you are thinking very inward about what do I want to do, how do I now fill my time."

Helloooo, and welcome to Season 8 of Mads World! You're about to listen to The Queen of Breakups: Love-Affair Friendships, Political Lesbianism & The Joy of Heartbreak Rosie Wilby! This week I am joined by award-winning comedian, podcaster, speaker and journalist, Rosie Wilby. Rosie regularly appears on radio and TV commentating on sexuality, dating and love and was dubbed ‘the Queen of Breakups' by BBC Radio 4 following the success of her podcast and book: The Breakup Monologues. She has extensively explored heartbreak in her podcast, in her hugely successful comedy shows, and in her first book, Is Monogamy Dead? Which was shortlisted for the Diva Literary Awards and longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize. She has written for publications including The Guardian, Sunday Times, and New Statesman, and has performed at major festivals including Glastonbury and Latitude. In 2011, Rosie was dumped via email. Obsessing about breakups ever since, she embarked on a personal quest to investigate, understand and conquer the psychology of heartbreak. Part memoir, part investigation, The Breakup Monologues takes on the big questions about our life-changing separations in the modern age of ghosting, breadcrumbing and conscious uncoupling. In Rosie's trademark immersive, investigative form, the self-styled ‘lesbian Louis Theroux' puts her own relationship under the microscope in a ‘sex lab' and explores how a split parallels the effects of withdrawing from a drug, why friendship breakups can feel like the worst endings of all, how polyamory changes the conversation about commitment, how breakups can sometimes be empowering and lead to exciting new life journeys... and how ultimately they can even help us to stay together. In this episode we discuss the joy of breakups and embracing life after a breakup, love-affair friendships and friendship breakups, political lesbians and queerbaiting, and much more.

Doing Divorce Different A Podcast Guide to Doing Divorce Differently
Today I am joined by award-winning U.K. comedian, author, and podcaster Rosie Wilby. Rosie delivers an empowering view of the unexpected joy of heartbreak. She offers the perspective of opportunities one can gain post-breakup and how society can begin to normalize that breakups can be positive and amicable. Rosie shares with us the idea behind her book, The Breakup Monologues, where she shares about several of the relationships she's had that have come to an end. Tune in today to uncover the positives that can be gained through heartbreak. In this episode: Rosie provides some background on her book, The Breakup Monologues. What made Rosie want to share her past relationships in a book? What are Rosie's major lessons from her breakups? How can you see a breakup as a gift when you're in the thick of it? How many breakups does Rosie talk about in her book? We can start normalizing the idea that divorce can be positive and amicable. How to work through a situation if you feel trapped when desiring a divorce. Key Takeaways: Being single can allow us to step back and look at the trajectory of our life and how we want to live as individuals without the pull of what your partner might want. Relationships and marriage get really busy, and being able to step back after a breakup provides excellent opportunities. Breakups provide self-knowledge about what you want in a future relationship, what's important to you, identifying your needs, and what you want to do differently in your next relationship. When you are in the thick of a breakup, reach out and get support. Hire a therapist or talk to a friend who can be supportive. It should be someone who will empower you and lift you up vs. pull you down and speak negatively. Quotes: “I do feel that breakups, although they are incredibly painful and really difficult and really challenging times, they do provide an opportunity for reflection and growth, and they can be a catalyst for real positive change.” - Rosie Wilby “Sometimes growing apart is really healthy growth. Sometimes we just grow individually and in good ways, but we happen to have gone in slightly different directions, and that's not a failing on our parts. We have this really toxic language, these binaries of success and failure, and somehow if we don't stay together, we've failed, whereas surely, if we've separated in a really healthy way, that might be really positive and really mature.” - Rosie Wilby Guest Bio: Rosie Wilby is an award-winning U.K. comedian, author, and podcaster who has appeared many times on BBC Radio 4 programmes including Woman's Hour, Saturday Live, and Four Thought. Her first book, Is Monogamy Dead?, was longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize and followed a trilogy of solo shows investigating the psychology of love and relationships. Her new book, The Breakup Monologues, is based on her acclaimed podcast of the same name and is published globally by Bloomsbury.

Rosie has a generous and open-minded way of talking about breakups, heartbreak, and all the messiness in-between. In our conversation, Rosie shares what it was like to rehash old relationships when researching this book. We especially bond over the idea of falling in love with someone who is so utterly unavailable and how painful it can be to hold onto a relationship that's doomed for failure. Rosie also unpacks how she uses humor to process her experiences and invite people to look at their relationships through a new lens. You'll hear in the short excerpt that she shares how witty and painfully relatable her comedy is. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:● What inspired Rosie to write a book about breakups ● How unrequited love can psychologically push you into new growth● Stylistic choices that Rosie made to demonstrate how the ending of one chapter is always the beginning of another ● How Rosie uses comedy as a tool to make topics like infidelity, breakups, and heartbreak accessible to a broad audienceGuest Info:● Rosie's Website ● Rosie's Instagram ● Rosie's Twitter ● Rosie's Podcast ● The Breakup Monologues: The Unexpected Joy of HeartbreakFollow Me:● My Instagram ● My LinkedIn● My Twitter● Art Heals All Wounds Website● Art Heals All Wounds Instagram● Art Heals All Wounds Twitter ● Art Heals All Wounds Facebook● Art Heals All Wounds Newsletter Promoted Podcast · More than Work
In today's episode, we have a guest who is a guru in the genre of why some relationships don't last the distance, it's comedian and author, Rosie Wilby! Rosie has written books and hosted podcasts on the theme of break-ups and so, it's no surprise that she could match the intel of Grainne and the encyclopedic mind of Chantal when she asked to talk about a couple whose tandemic rise to fame, a public shaming and ultimate break-up made the front pages throughout the 1990s.... ladies and gentlemen, please be up-standing for this week's couple...

This week's podcast is a look back at last month's fantastic Mindful Drinking Festival in Brighton. One of our two keynote speakers, comedian and author Rosie Wilby, talked about alcohol and relationships, breakups, and making space for one another. Many of you will know Rosie from her podcast, The Breakup Monologues, which is also the title of her brilliant new book.As Rosie explains, the title of her book is a bit misleading. Rosie talks to Dru about relationships of all kinds; romantic relationships, friendships, and the spectrum of interpersonal connections that can affect how we change and evolve when they end. If you're cutting down or cutting out alcohol and relationships begin to change, it can be hard to reconcile who you once were to each other.Please note that this podcast was recorded as a live panel in front of an audience at our Mindful Drinking Festival. Some background noise appears in this recording at times.Support the show
Rosie Wilby is a comedian, podcaster and author of The Breakup Monologues – about the unexpected joy of heartbreak and all we can learn from it. BBC Radio 4 described her as the ‘queen of breakups' (what an accolade!) so she was the perfect guest for a chat about how to be sad, well. Here, we talk about: - Break up grief - …but how we get over it twice as quickly as we predict - Friendship breakups - Why divorce rates for gay women are so high - Boredom in long-term relationships - Cheating blackbirds… - SSRIs and ‘anti-love drugs' - Hormones and attraction - Separate bed stigma - Monogamy: pros and cons - Finding love – and getting married! Follow Rosie on Twitter @and Instagram @breakupmonologues and check out The Breakup Monologues here. And for more on my own long (long) and illustrious history of disastrous breakups, may I nudge you towards chapters 4 and 6 of How To Be Sad…! As ever, I so appreciate your feedback and reviews so keep them coming. Until next time x
Rosie Wilby is an award-winning comedian, author and podcaster who has appeared a number of times on BBC Radio 4 programmes including Woman's Hour, Saturday Live and Four Thought. Her first book Is Monogamy Dead? was longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize and followed a trilogy of solo shows investigating the psychology of love and relationships. Her new book The Breakup Monologues is based on her acclaimed podcast of the same name and it explores the science of heartbreak and the unexpected joy that can come from breakups.In this conversation Rosie talks about growing up and coming out as gay in the 1980s and how she found her crowd in the queer community after moving to London. She tells me about her experience of being in a 'secret' relationship for five years with a woman who hadn't come out to her parents and we talk about the internalized homophobia experienced by many and Rosie shares how she's learned to empower and enable others to 'own' and feel more at ease with their sexuality.Rosie includes a chapter in her book on friendship breakups and we talk about how they are rarely acknowledged in the same way as romantic relationships, and there's no 'script' for them, despite the pain they can cause.We talk about post-traumatic growth after a painful breakup and how they can eventually lead to healing personal growth, leaving us better equipped to make informed choices in future. Rosie shares her greatest learnings from her breakups and we discuss the merits of singledom.Rosie's first book, Is Monogamy Dead? explores the need to reinvestigate monogamy for modern times and she shares some inspired insights into how we can reimagine monogamy and make relationships work for us, without piling the pressure and expectation onto one person to provide everything we need.Rosie is on Twitter @rosiewilby and Instagram @breakupmonologues and you can check her book out here.Find Sophie on Instagram here.

Perhaps unsurprisingly we discuss all things psychology and relationships. Well not all because there's soooo much to cover but I try. Rosie talks about spending five years with a girlfriend who was not out to her parents and the invisibility and hurt that entailed, to taking part in an experiment at Essex University's ‘Sex Lab' using what she has hilariously described as a ‘techno tampon' in order to measure her levels of sexual arousal. We also discuss the people who have influenced Rosie's comic capabilities, her role models and how she is perhaps unintentionally a role model herself – to young gay women yes, but also to anyone who has suffered the pain of a breakup. Do take a look at her latest book, it's well worth a read.

James Ward introduces another curious talk about a subject that may seem boring, but is actually very interesting.... maybe. In 2011, comedian Rosie Wilby was dumped by email. (Though she did feel better about it after correcting her ex's spelling and punctuation). Obsessing ever since about whether technology has enabled abrupt endings to relationships, she discovered an entire new language. But what are ghosting, breadcrumbing, submarining, pocketing, benching and curving? Rosie Wilby is a comedian and presents The Breakup Monologues podcast. Presenter: James Ward Contributor: Rosie Wilby Producer: Luke Doran
