New year, new news-storms, and grooming gangs have dominated 2025's early headlines. But, asks Mick, how much do the people “leading” this debate care about the working-class girls at the centre of the story and what really needs to shift for that to happen? Meanwhile, Jen's chatting about the foster care crisis, and some intriguing new fitness trends. In Sexism of the Week, we're wondering how great a tourist destination Afghanistan actually is, and there's cricket and tennis in JOTB.

Angie, a comedian and comedy educator, shares her experience using stand-up as a therapeutic tool for diverse groups, including men at risk of suicide and army veterans. Harriet, a corporate coach, key-note speaker and stand-up comedian, discusses humour's role in offering new perspectives and building rapport. Stuart, a corporate speaker on the Climate Crisis and Resilience gives us insights on using humour to facilitate personal growth and cultural change. We discuss: How can you use humour in coaching? Where is the intersection between comedy and coaching? How can comedy be used to build rapport? In what ways can comedy be used as a therapeutic or coaching tool? What's the link between comedy and trauma? How do you coach people to learn comedy?  What is the purpose of humour and making people laugh? How are psychological models used in comedy? How can we use comedy to help people take a different perspective?  What can we learn from comedians about vulnerability, resilience and authenticity? There are many transferable skills we can take from comedy to enhance our coaching practice such as relationship building and creating psychological safety. Furthermore, working with comedy can help clients reframe risk and failure and cultivate their ability to get into a peak performance state. We also explore the role of comedy in a variety of settings including building new mothers' confidence and working with NHS patients, army veterans and men at risk of suicide.

Mick and Jen are on news duty this week, talking cynical steps – or is it honourable intentions? – as social media companies try to get to grips with the Online Safety Act. Elsewhere, there are smiling faces aplenty outside Strangeways, as the Labour Government grapples with its inherited crumbling prison system. Thank the gods of whimsy that Paddington Bear is on hand to cheer us all up. Not Jen, though. He makes her cry. Also, there's contraceptive chaos in Sexism of the Week, and some baffling sponsorship in Jenny Off the Blocks.

Joining Alexa this week is Nic Redman, who has been working with the spoken voice for almost 20 years and who is the author of the best-selling book ‘On the Mic'. Nic has featured across the BBC, Times Radio, The Guardian, Irish Times, and The Metro. She offers one-to-one coaching for voice-over artists, narrators, podcasters, and speakers to master their speaking voice, working with the likes of Peloton and comedian Sarah Millican. KEY TAKEAWAYS In Nic's experience, musical theatre often places a significant emphasis on appearance alongside vocal ability. This can create pressure for performers to conform to certain physical standards. However, in the realm of voiceover work, the focus solely revolves around vocal performance. Nic Redman's five techniques for improving vocal performance and recording quality, as discussed, are as follows:  Focusing on using your natural voice and avoiding an artificial "announcer" style. Being mindful of posture and alignment to allow the voice to resonate fully. Engaging in vocal warm-ups and exercises to enhance flexibility and range. Paying attention to microphone technique, including maintaining consistent distance and angle. Listening critically to recordings to identify areas for improvement. Nic's recommended vocal warm-ups for voice over work are: Lip trills and tongue trills: These exercises help relax the vocal mechanism and can be effective in warming up the voice. Pitch glides: Practising pitch glides up and down the vocal range helps in warming up the voice and increasing flexibility. Tongue twisters for articulation: Working on tongue twisters helps improve articulation and clarity in speech. Breath control exercises: Techniques such as hissing and sighing can improve breath support, which is crucial for sustained vocal performance. Humming exercises: Humming exercises help in exploring vocal resonance and can contribute to a fuller, more resonant sound. BEST MOMENTS  ‘I had this like, ping of this feels nice. This feels where I'm supposed to be on the microphone' ‘The huge contrast to the musical theatre world was that nobody was going, your voice is great, but you don't look quite right' ‘I was really intrigued by the idea of spoken voice and the potential that it really has as a performer'   EPISODE RESOURCES  Guest Website: onthemicbook.com Social Media: Instagram: @nicredvoice Relevant Links & Mentions:  Central School of Speech and Drama: https://www.cssd.ac.uk/ The Voice Coach Podcast by Nic Redman The Voice Deck by Nic Redman  Dane Chalfin: https://danechalfin.com/ Gravy for the Brain: https://www.gravyforthebrain.com/ The Voice Over Network: https://www.thevoiceovernetwork.org/ Voice Over KickStart: https://voiceoverkickstart.com/ The Voice Over Social: https://thevosocial.com/ Vocal Booth to Go: https://www.vocalboothtogo.co.uk/ Microphone: Rode NT1-A Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT 770 Get Nic's Free Warm-up HERE: https://nicolaredman.com/freebies/ BAST Book A Call ABOUT THE GUEST  Nic Redman, with nearly 20 years of experience in recording and coaching, specializes in helping individuals feel vocally confident on the microphone.

They chat about Daniel Craig's bum, who invented the lifeboat, whether we only remember the times we were bullied and not the time we were the bullies, who is the bigger workaholic, whether they should both chuck in their marriages and give it a go together and the brilliant Standard Issue magazine and podcast - http://standardissuemagazine.com/.

I'm so excited to share this episode. I've been looking forward to putting it out since we recorded it with lovely, lovely Sarah Millican at the Leicester Square Theatre in July. In a cupboard, in case you thought podcasting was always glamorous. Sarah was in town recording RHLSTP with Richard Herring, so I managed to catch up with her backstage to chat about her crushes - pure and not so pure. It's a brilliant episode, full of stuff that made me HARD RELATE - and also has some excellent advice for how to tell a boyfriend he's less than fragrant. Not that either of us need it right now. It's also been a big week for the podcast as we've decided to turn on subscriptions on Substack - which is terrifying, and exciting, in around about equal measures. Thanks to everyone who has sponsored us so far - it means THE WORLD. It honestly does. I really want to keep the podcast fortnightly, and we just can't do that without ads and sponsorship. https://crushedbymcs.substack.com/ is the place to head if you want to check it out. The good news is that nothing changes - if you're not in a place right now where you can subscribe, or you dip in and out and you just don't want to right now then that's absolutely fine. We still love you! You can still get the podcast via your normal route, with ads, and those ads help us put the show together. If the idea of an ad-free version appeals - or you want to give us a bit of extra support - head to substack and subscribe - either for a month at $5, or a year at $50. We'll bung some extra premium content there a couple of times a month (it will be things like the first thing we're putting up - my story of meeting Ryan Reynolds backstage at Wrexham). Do footballers call it backstage? It sounds a bit weird. Anyway, if you subscribe this week, that will be waiting for you to enjoy. If you're super-keen, you can also become a Founder where your one-off donation will get you a free ticket to the next live show you can make, and a video from me doing the maths for you and your crush. We've already got 2 founder members (THANK YOU) and I am really looking forward to some extra maths. IT'S SCIENCE. Head to https://crushedbymcs.substack.com/ if you like the show and want it to keep coming. We had some tweets after we set up the Substack that some people would prefer to have the option to pledge on Kofi - and you absolutely can send us a coffee that way if you prefer.              Ko-fi.com/crushedbymcs            So, there it is - hope you stick with us, hope you'll support us if you can. But if you can't afford it and you want to support us another way - recommend the show, share an ep on socials or leave us one of the old 5 star reviews somewhere. Thanks guys - I really love making this show and it means the world that you listen. Love Margaret xx Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
