Summary
On this week’s LuAnna: the girls debrief the full Gladiators live experience after heading to Birmingham in full matching kits, which left both of them absolutely broken for days. Anna also gives us the lowdown from the BAFTAs, including a deeply uncomfortable celebrity hover around Lucy Punch, and Lu is thrown into a spiral after a new employee guesses she’s 45.
Plus we finally get properly stuck into the Birth Keepers podcast, chatting all things Free Birth Society, with a very strong reaction all around.
And as if that wasn’t enough, there’s a sober listener raising an excellent point about our live shows, an Amazon spending audit that urgently needs Martin Lewis, dating advice for a lonely flight attendant, a truly awful story that leaves even us speechless.
LuAnna: The Podcast is a Global production, available every Monday and Thursday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your shows. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode.
