| S7 E10 Why The World Needs Jess Davies More Than Ever | 24 Jun 2025 | 00:45:42 | |
Continuing WAM Book Season... Our guest for today became known originally for her modelling career, after competing in the final of the Miss Wales Beauty Pageant. Once it emerged that nude pictures of her had been used to con money out of men all over the world, Davies used the talent she’d cultivated as a then broadcaster to trace the impact in her BBC documentary WHEN NUDES ARE STOLEN. Furthering her campaigning for women’s rights and body positivity, her debut book ‘No One Wants To See Your D*ck’ explores the rise in online misogyny and how to tackle it. WAM hugely recommends.

| S7 E9 It's WAM BOOK MONTH! With the excellent Christine Murphy launching us into orbit... | 17 Jun 2025 | 01:00:09 | |
WAM is a happy home to many great writer pals, which is why we wanted to honour the tradition properly ahead of the summer, and bring you a month-long special to prep you for a season of great reads! We're kicking off with US author Christine Murphy and her debut novel, Notes On Surviving The Fire, described by The New Yorker as having: 'A thriller's bones, a satire's glare, and a comeuppance story's anarchic spirit' We absolutely love Christine, her book and this conversation, but do need to offer a warning that the episode contains graphic descriptions of rape.

| S7 E8 Stella Duffy on life, death and belonging | 10 Jun 2025 | 00:57:46 | |
Stella Duffy OBE is a without doubt a household name - whether you know her through her countless theatre productions or novels, or through her activism. What she brings to this conversation is deeply personal however, sharing her experiences of illness, her struggle to have children, and how she's come to know herself through the existential psychotherapy she's now trained to provide. We adored speaking with Stella on this vast and expansive range of topics. Whatever your state of mind or mood, this is just the convo to bring you something deep and important.

| S7 E6 Dr Charlotte Proudman takes WAM to court | 03 Jun 2025 | 00:41:07 | |
Dr Charlotte Proudman is a fearless defender of women and children's rights in the family court. She's also made a name outside the courts, having to defend herself in the face of attempts by some in her profession to shut her down personally. In this episode, Charlotte speaks to the ways the legal system punishes women - including Charlotte herself. She eloquently and movingly describes the emotional impact of the vital work she does, and where her passionate need for justice comes from. We're excited to let you know that Charlotte's book, 'He Said She Said: Truth, Trauma and the Struggle for Justice in the Family Court' is out NOW in hardback.

| S7 E3 A deep-dive into grief with our incredible pal Stacey Heale | 13 May 2025 | 00:54:35 | |
Today, we talk about grief - in all of its stages and strange forms. With none other than the really fantastic Stacey Heale, whose husband Greg Gilbert died three years ago. For a show about death, there's a lot of laughter. And some tears. But you've come to expect no less, of course. Stacey talks us deftly through parenting, money worries, thoughts about dating, and the 'forest of support' which surrounded her following Greg's death. The reality of carrying on alone into these years and the questions and struggles which follow; from thoughts about the afterlife to managing your children's pain, is all explored here. We're so privileged to have Stacey in our lives, and many more of her generous and unique observations are made in the beautiful 'Now Is Not The Time For Flowers,' which is out now in paperback.

| S7 E1 Kicking it off with Cariad Lloyd | 29 Apr 2025 | 00:49:54 | |
Cariad Lloyd is a legend. Pure and simple. From Griefcast to Austentatious, she cares for our every emotion. Kicking off WAM Series 7!! Cariad talks about being treated like a small, cute woman; how she feels her anger is both a blessing and a curse. And whether some people just do feel more strongly than others. Cariad's beautiful new book dealing with children's grief, 'Where Did She Go?' is out on the 5th May. If you haven't read it yet, Jen's article on the brutal reality of visiting the USA to tour her book Women Are Angry, and why she sadly won't be returning for her NY tour, can be found here.

| S6 E15 Elif Shafak: Global Superstar | 25 Mar 2025 | 00:44:00 | |
The problem with Elif Shafak is that she is too acclaimed, her work too numerous and celebrated, and her personal cause too elevated to begin to capture in one limited introduction. You will no doubt own at least one of her 13 books, in at least one of the 57 languages they've been translated into. You may also be eagerly awaiting the April paperback of There Are Rivers In The Sky. But you might not have heard her talk about the vast range of emotional topics this convo covers; from grief to otherness to sisterhood. So here's your chance. We are so excited to bring you the woman who is quite simply a walking wonder, and we can't wait for you to benefit from her words of infinite wisdom...

| S6 E14 Lisa Smosarski, editor of Stylist | 18 Mar 2025 | 00:40:18 | |
Stylist magazine stands out in a market saturated by media which plays on women's insecurities to, basically, get them to buy stuff. We have forever loved it for its unwaveringly feminist bedrock, and determination to bring us what we actually need to see. Visionary editor-in-chief, Lisa Smosarski, has been steering the Stylist ship since its very first issue. Lisa wanted the magazine to sound like 'an intelligent conversation between friends.' She's certainly achieved that. And so much more besides. Today, Lisa brings even more of that brilliant trademark conversation to WAM...

| S1 E3 Girls Are Mad with Noga Levy-Rapoport | 16 Jan 2025 | 00:44:53 | |
This episode of GAM is one of pure hope. Noga Levy-Rapoport is a climate activist, organiser and communicator. Beginning her activism career aged only 17, she has since had a leading role in global climate protests, strikes and other events. One reason the patriarchy succeeds is because it slices younger and older generations of women apart. This beautiful conversation between Noga and our Bea is a reminder of how vital it is that we all cherish and nurture these vital connections. It's also a moving example of how finding words for our complex emotional experiences fuels connection in general, and becomes the energy we need when times look bleak.

This week, Bureau de WAM attends to the trickiness of comparing yourself to friends on the socials... what that does to our poor blitzed brains. And what we can try to do about it. WAM.

| S6 E4 Christmas Helpdesk at Bureau de WAM | 28 Dec 2024 | 00:36:18 | |
If your Christmas feels very far from a Richard Curtis movie, Bureau de WAM is here to assist. We're not addressing the devastating housing crisis here. Nor the way many people in our society are terrified of where their next meal might be coming from, or how to live with the black mould their landlord refuses to tackle. We're also not talking about the climate catastrophe, or the lives lost due to conflict this year. We're going interpersonal, micro. The shit which - in its own insidiously powerful way - ruins lives, tears families apart and breaks hearts. If Christmas has done a number on you, or you just need to feel a bit less alone, WAM is your woman. *** KEY THERAPY TAKEAWAYS NESTLED AT EPISODE WRAP-UP! *** JEN IS TOURING HER BOOK IN THE USA!!

Forbidden Love Ever been in love with someone you shouldn't? Considering embarking on an illicit affair? Uh-oh, the romance-killers have galloped into town. Don't tune in, if you enjoy deluding yourself you're in some kind of Ephron/Curtis double-bill. As far as Jen's concerned, love is 9 parts projection, 1 part oxytocin. Salima isn't quite as brutal. But her obsession with Married At First Sight gives her a unique angle on schmaltz. Hop on, WAMers. We're here for life's every quibble. Join Club WAM for ad-free listening and MORE! Hosted on Acast.
