Haiti has been ravaged by political instability and gang violence since the assassination of the country's president in 2021 – and this year it's spiralled with armed gangs in control of much of the capital Port-au-Prince. Alongside the violence is an escalating humanitarian crisis, which is severely impacting women and children with widespread hunger and malnutrition.

A group of women who believe this is discriminatory are challenging the law. Kylie speaks to Linde Bryk, head of strategic court cases at women's rights organisation Bureau Clara Wichmann, and Maartje Passchier who has been affected by the law change. The science teacher turned actor, writer and comedian Shazia Mirza has been taking part in a landmark year for Muslim women in comedy – performing in a touring show called Comedy Queens, where the lineup is entirely female and Muslim.

From Bhutan to The Bahamas and Iceland to Indonesia, mass tourism has grown at an unprecedented rate over the last few decades. Today's top destinations are struggling with the sheer numbers of visitors and the United Nations has called for a total rethink on how the industry operates. The origins of travel for pleasure go back centuries and package holidays in the 1960s made it accessible to many in the West but it's only the combination of cheap flights and the advent of the internet that has led to truly global tourism on a mass scale. Whilst the industry now generates huge income for many companies and individuals around the globe, critics point to the cost to both the environment and humankind. Drawing on listeners' questions and comments, Rajan Datar examines the way mass tourism has impacted people's lives, both positively and negatively, and asks if the enforced pause in tourism caused by Covid was utilised as an opportunity for a re-think. He is joined by Sihle Khumalo, a popular South African travel writer; Shazia Mirza, a renowned British comedienne and writer; Qupanuk Olsen, originally a mining engineer but now Greenland's leading travel influencer; Prof. Noel Salazar, anthropologist of tourism from KU Leuven in Belgium; Iñigo Sánchez-Fuarros, senior researcher at the Institute of Heritage Sciences of the Spanish National Research Council and Dr. Birgit Trauer, tourism consultant and educator from Australia.

In the first of two special episodes celebrating the 40th anniversary of Downstairs at The Kings Head comedy club, I talk to the wonderful owner of the club, PETER GRAHAME about his comedy career. Downstairs at the Kings Head is one of the oldest comedy clubs in Britain.   Founded in 1981 by Grahame and Huw Thomas (who became the regular compere until his retirement), the intimate venue has never moved from the Kings Head pub, Crouch End in North London.  The 40th Anniversary gig which I attended took place in April 2023 (rescheduled after two years because of the pandemic).  With a bill featuring Al Murray, Phil Nichol, Nick Helm, Arthur Smith, Miles Jupp, Ria Lina, Laura Smyth, Shazia Mirza and back for one night only compere, Thomas, the anniversary night was filled with laughter and nostalgia. Walking into the club that evening, just as I had done for the first time thirty years ago, brought back many happy memories, including watching Harry Hill and Jeff Green both playing one of their earliest gigs there.  It was a pleasure chatting to the co-founder and promoter of this iconic comedy club.

The Drunk Women are back at The Clapham Grand and it's a two for the price of one on this week's guest count!Yes, the team headed to that fantastic venue to record a special show with the wonderful Shazia Mirza - who had some obstacles to overcome on the journey and so, whilst we waited with bated breath for her arrival, Taylor, Hannah, and Catie were joined by former guest and friend of the show, Jayde Adams, who regaled us with yet another crime which has blighted her life! Jayde very kindly kicks things off with a story that will make sure no one EVER gives shade to any member of One Direction again and although it was wonderful to see her, Jayde then made way for Shazia, who came straight on stage following her epic journey.

Rosie investigates the future of breakups. She speaks to author of The Future of Seduction and cultural critic Mia Levitin, who re-entered the dating game after divorcing in her thirties... and found that dating really had become a game. They discuss ghosting, the paradox of choice, video dating and robot companions. Rosie also chats to award-winning comedian Shazia Mirza about the near-future possibility of taking an ‘anti-love drug' to forget a bad breakup and how long-term relationships are impacted by a pandemic. Finally she speaks to creator of the blog and podcast Non-Monogamy Help, Lola Phoenix, about how polyamory changes the conversation about breakups and how asexuality fits into the contemporary relationship landscape.  You can now follow The Breakup Monologues on Instagram

"I feel pressure to produce perfect chapattis despite being a successful comedian!" I speak with Shazia Mirza, a famous comedian and writer, appearing on Jonathan Ross, Celebrity Island with Bear Gryls, Celebs in Solitary & many more shows. Her new show ‘Coconut' will be on tour in 2021. Shazia travels all over the world doing stand-up comedy, is hugely successful but still feels the pressure to be the perfect South Asian woman. Shazia and I speak about some of the issues we've experienced in our culture: • The expectation to always be the dutiful daughter, to be the quiet subservient one • The expectation to get married, have kids, look after everyone around us • How cultural conditioning carries on even with professional successful South Asian womxn • Anti-blackness that pervades South Asian society, and what can be done to change it • Getting our names mis-pronounced (Shazia being called ‘Shava Minza' has got to be the funniest!) • How all brown women are lumped into the same person (Shazia talks about being mistaken for everyone from Meera Syal to Malala to her local GP) MORE ABOUT SHAZIA: https://www.shazia-mirza.com/Instagram: @theshaziamirzaTwitter: @shaziamirza1 RESOURCESWant to explore more about the themes discussed in this episode?
