This podcast is sponsored by Pet Plan who are the UK's number one pet insurer.

I've always used Pet Plan for Raymond as they cover things other insurers don't

and they can even pay your vet directly, which can be a big help. No Raymond that doesn't mean you can spend

all the extra cash on treats. Terms, conditions and excesses apply. Pet plan is a

trading name of Allian's Insurance PLC.

bright and thoughtful. She's also a real laugh. And we chatted to a lot about her new book called Periods,

It's about bloody time, which I found kind of life changing and really important and I

think you should buy it for a woman or man that you love.

If that just buy it for anyone, it's brilliant.

I'll get it for my dog even.
