Love Lives – Détails, épisodes et analyse

We talk to author Yomi Adegoke about her debut novel The List, and the uncomfortable truth about #MeToo.

The novel follows Ola and Michael, an Instagram-famous couple who, one month before their wedding, are shaken when Michael is accused of predatory behaviour in an anonymous list shared online.

We talk with Yomi about the flaws within social media justice, the murky waters of anonymous allegations, and the importance of having nuanced discussions about cancel culture.

When it comes to matters of the heart, what’s going on in our heads?

We’re joined by neuroscientist Nicole Vignola to discuss the science of falling in love, the chemicals that induce that giddy feeling, and how to trick our brains into creating lasting love.

Nicole also reveals how long it really takes to get over a breakup, why love can feel addictive, and why the head and the heart don’t need to be at odds with each other.

This week, we’re thrilled to speak with author Nicola Dinan about her debut novel, Bellies.

It follows the relationship between young graduates Tom and Ming and how their connection fluctuates in the wake of Ming’s transition, and is being adapted for TV by the studio behind the Normal People adaptation.

We chat with Nicola about the expectation that transgender characters should be overly virtuous, and how marginalised characters should have “the freedom to be pieces of s*** too.”

This week Olivia is joined by author and journalist Lisa Taddeo and senior therapist Sally Baker to discuss sexual grooming and manipulation.

The conversation focuses on Lisa's bestselling book, Three Women, which examined the sex and relationship lives of three very different American women, one of whom, Maggie, was exploited by her high school teacher. What was it about that relationship that became abusive and how common are stories such as Maggie's?

On a lighter note, we also discuss how Sex and the City impacted our own dating lives and the decisions we made in love.

The broadcaster and former Hear'Say member talks to Olivia about blending her family with her partner's, Simon Motson. Both Myleene and Simon have two children from previous relationships, which Klass explains posed some complications early on that they were able to overcome.

Myleene opens up about what it's like to discipline children when they aren't your own and finding ways to be a good step mother without overstepping your place.

Reality TV stars Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams join Olivia in the studio to discuss sharing the ins and outs of their family life with the public eye. 

The couple talk about why they choose to share so much with their fans on social media and TV and Spencer explains why he doesn’t ‘get’ social media influencers despite the fact that is what Vogue does.

Spencer also opens up about his Made in Chelsea days and explains why he thinks the programme has lost its touch in 2019. 

Spencer and Vogue’s new show, Spencer, Vogue and Wedding Two, starts on E4 on Monday at 10pm.

Happy Sexual Health Week, everyone! What a time to be alive.

In all seriousness though, being sexually healthy is incredibly important, and that's why we figured a podcast on the topic was long overdue.

From the different types of sexually transmitted infections and how you contract one, to how to get tested and what we can do to break down the stigma of having one - let's talk about sex(ual health), baby.
