She grew up in rural Ireland, with a peripatetic childhood that would see her move to England, America and Scotland all by the time she reached 10-years-old. In this episode, James O'Brien takes a tour through Zoe's adolescents and hatred of school & school bullies, her parents divorce and her love of the Peter Sellers & Dick Emery.

It's the return of Felicity Ward, and at least two things have happened to her since we saw her last:1) Another crime happened 2) she's acquired a detective name, so welcome back to the force Detective Dirtbag! Felicity knew the drill and so, came armed with a crime story to kick things off with, which happens to have some incredibly tenuous connections to the festive season. The gang then pool their resources to solve a case involving one of the biggest musical acts the world has known, who knows if they actually solved it, but at least they did it their way.

And just as quickly as it began, it's time to say 'goodbye' to this year's Men's Month - and what a way to go - as the one and only, Chesney Hawkes proves he has many strings to his bow as this week's fantastic guest. Not only does he share two cracking stories of criminal encounters from his own life, illustrating not even the most hardened criminal has the business acumen, or audacity, of the average teenage girl (specifically those from the 1990s), but he also helps Taylor and Hannah fiddle around with this week's case to find a satisfactory conclusion.

In the penultimate edition of this year's Men's Month, we're thrilled to be joined by the man of a million tangents, Jordan Stephens! Jordan (Rizzle) kicked us off with a story that proves that some of our most sentimental objects happen to be digital, and that Justin Timberlake owes us all some compensation.

As we continue our procession through this year's Men's Month, Taylor and Hannah were delighted to welcome the fabulous actor, and online sensation, Jonny Weldon to the force - and were equally delighted with his medley of crime stories, which serve as an endorsement to his incredible work ethic.

What better way to launch this year's Men's Month than to release an episode recorded at our London Residency earlier this year, with none-other than the legendary Charlie Higson? The actor, writer and Fast Show alumni, started off proceedings by telling us about the time he was targeted by a gang, who were compulsive in their criminal activities, before helping Taylor and Hannah 'solve' a case in which a doctor more than ignored the Hippocratic oath and gives us an insight on what the bedside manner of Michael McIntyre would be like.

This week we're joined by actor, comedian and playwright, Anna Morris, whose crime story enables her to display her inner Victorian lady, something that will leave any aspiring criminal quaking in their boots.The team then get involved in a story, which may be 500 years old, but illustrates just how little the monarchy has changed and that most of the current bunch would have been dispatched to The Tower without a second thought, but at least Anna can star in the film version!And to finish things off, a listener lets the cat out of the bag with a tear jerking tale from their childhood...

This summer we're bringing you a special mini-series which takes you on a trip through the archive, showcasing the best snippets from our vast and varied line up of guests. Each week we'll be focusing on a topic that's particularly pertinent to those of us at the midpoint, and this week we're celebrating the joys of getting older. There's still a pervading sense of pessimism when it comes to the mainstream narrative on ageing, but the chats on this podcast over the last three years have proved that most midlifers are anything but! Celebrities and experts all agree that there are so many good things that come with midlife. In this episode, you'll hear the likes of Sharleen Spiteri, Colin Murray, Edith Bowman, Trevor Nelson, Zoe Lyons, Nihal Arthanayake, Phil Neville, Olivia Williams, and fitness expert, James Smith, being positively old!

Zoe and I catch up on comedy, life and everything inbetween. Lockdown was not great for self-employed comedians. Zoe's alopecia returned and prompted a long overdue breakdown. How she recovered and is now enjoying a career high makes compelling listening and is testament to her strength of character and why we all can learn something from listening to her.The Take is called Fading Stars and is from Takes on Life Vol.1@zoelyons@zoelyonscomedy@domholland@dommohollandwww.jim-howard.com

What happens when a woman famous for talking to people, and for her razor sharp wit, is left stranded on a desert island with just herself and a hermit crab for company? Author, comedian, broadcaster and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax decided to spend 10 days completely cut off from the modern world and other humans, and you can see the results on Channel 5 in Ruby Wax : Cast Away. She joins Anita to discuss what it was like being alone on an uninhabited island near Madagascar. In 2018 the people of Ireland voted to repeal the 8th amendment and grant women access to safe and free abortions up to 12 weeks into pregnancy. Ireland was promised ‘excellent' abortion services but what is the reality 5 years on? On Wednesday, an independent review of abortion services was released that proposed 10 major changes to legislation. Anita is joined by Dr Deirdre Duffy, a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Lancaster University who was involved in putting together the evidence base for the review. Currently celebrating her 30th year in business, the celebrity colourist Jo Hansford MBE has been described as the “best tinter on the planet”. She started off cutting hair in her parents' front room and is now one of the most famous female names in the business with two salons, her own range of products, and clients who've included Elizabeth Hurley, Angelina Jolie and Richard Burton, not to mention she is the woman in charge of the Queen Consort's crowning glory! Jo spoke to Nuala about her career, passion for colour - and the upcoming coronation. Zoe Lyons is known for being funny Radio 4 comedy shows like The New Quiz and seen her on TV shows like Live at the Apollo and QI. She also hosts the BBC2 quiz show 'Lightning'. Over the last couple of years, she has kept herself busy by having (what she describes as) ‘a monumental midlife crisis'. It involved buying a sports car, splitting up with her wife and running a 100k ultra marathon…Along the way her hair also started to fall out. Thankfully Zoe has been able to see the funny side and she's used the experience to write her stand up show ‘Bald Ambition'…which she is currently touring around the country. Zoe joins Nuala to discuss. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Hanna Ward Editor: Louise Corley

Stella Assange is the wife of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, a whistle-blowing platform that publishes classified material provided by anonymous sources. He is currently being held in Belmarsh Prison pending extradition to the US, where he is wanted for 18 criminal charges related to obtaining and publishing classified information. Stella is leading a campaign to fight his extradition, which has been depicted in a new documentary, Ithaka. She tells Nuala why she thinks Julian should be released, how they first met and the impact of the campaign on their two young children. Award-winning comedian Zoe Lyons tells Nuala about her ‘monumental' midlife crisis. It involved buying a sports car, having a brief marital separation and running a 100k ultra marathon… badly. Along the way, her hair started to fall out. Thankfully, Zoe has been able to explore the funny side and create her stand-up show Bald Ambition. Nurses are set to be given body-worn cameras in a crackdown on hospital sexual assaults under new government plans. A recent report published by The Women's Rights Network revealed that thousands of sex attacks have been reported in hospitals across England and Wales in the past 4 years. Nuala is joined by Heather Binning, Founder of The Women's Rights Network, and Catriona Rubens, a solicitor at human rights law firm Leigh Day. Dr Lil Stevens recently found out that her grandfather, Captain Leicester Stevens, had taken part in an expedition to find a dinosaur in the rainforests of the Congo known as the Congo 'thunder lizard' (later dismissed as a hoax) following World War 1. Lil, who works at a palaeontologist, has dedicated her career to studying fossils and was amazed to discover the family connection. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Lucinda Montefiore

We bloody love Zoe Lyons. She's funny, she's honest and she gives great interviews. So, in this week's podcast, Mick grabbed some time with the comedian to talk about midlife crises, jokes as a defence mechanism and lifting weights. Jen's having a chat with Liv Hennessy and Lisa Spirling, writer and director of the new play Vardy v Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial. And there's more celebrity trials ahoy in BT, as Hannah takes a look at Paltrow v Man who can't enjoy a wine tasting anymore. There's golf and Wimbledon chat in Jenny of The Blocks, and in RoD we're watching 1998's The Butcher Boy. Did we like it? Well... Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

After a quick catch-up from some mental drugs announcements from the two main parties, I speak to proper stand-up Zoe Lyons. We have a good old chin-wag about how comedy is going and whether social media comics have what it takes for live. Plus Zoe, as a left leaning comic, shares her surprise at how some of our colleagues reacted to Brexit in their acts.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Come to my LIVE shows https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Order my BOOK amzn.to/2TNsKOU Check out my TIK-TOK www.tiktok.com/@geoffnorcott

#431 Sleeping Bag Vulva - Richard's Valentine's promises have turned to chocolatey crumbs, but never mind, his guest is a woman who built a bathroom from the laughter generated by animals- it's Zoe Lyons. Zoe takes us through the downs and ups of her last few years including a full on midlife crisis, the loss of her hair, how lockdown led her to delivering vegetables when she was meant to be on TV, writing material to impress her therapist and how badly she coped when she split from her wife and the possibly foolhardy decision to run 100km (in one go). But it's a very positive story, which you can see told in full in her brilliant new stand up tour Bald Ambition https://www.impatientproductionsuk.com/zoe-lyons-bald-ambition-tour. Plus one of the best ghost stories yet and how getting older and giving less of a toss is a positive thing (though also explains Brexit)Come and see us live http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

The Brink's-Mat robbery remains to this day one of Britain's biggest and most audacious heists. Six armed men stole diamonds, cash and three tonnes of gold bullion from a warehouse close to London's Heathrow Airport in November 1983. It's now the subject of a BBC television drama, The Gold, which includes the claim that most gold jewellery bought in the UK from 1984 onwards will contain traces of that stolen gold. But how true is that? Tim Harford and team investigate, with the help of Zoe Lyons from Hatton Garden Metals and Rob Eastaway, author of Maths on the Back of an Envelope.
