This is a Global Player Original podcast.

Welcome to another episode of Dirty Motherpucker.

I'm your host, Anna Whitehouse, the founder of Motherpucker,

and it's Polly Hazard in The House. Hello, hello.

So coming up, we have the brilliant novelist and Sunday Times best-selling author Emma Gannon.

She's going to be deconstructing the success myth. So you know the vision of success being

kind of glass-walled offices, red, sold shoes, achievements, shoulder pads, no, she's taking

a sledgehammer to that. Now, if we're talking success, Polly won't be in that interview. So in

case you're wondering if she's just quietly sitting there as I speak and dominate,

she's got childcare issues, so won't be in that interview.

And that actually, if we're talking success, is our success, that we can work flexibly between the two of us.

Absolutely.

So I was going to say, ironically, around success, my daughter this morning, she said,

shall I do a day in the life of Anna White House?

And I went, all right.

God lover.

And she started off, I get out of my bed and I brush my teeth with a crusty old toothbrush.

I go downstairs and I eat the crusts discarded by my children.

Note there was no shower involved there. Can I just say? Crusty old toothbrush, tick, yeah, no shower, old vagina.

Old unwashed vagina. No, sometimes people have their breakfast before their shower, actually, Polly.

But in this story, she absolutely does not include washing myself.

She's nailed you, hasn't she?
