This episode of The Standard Issue Podcast is sponsored by AJ Bell Money Matters,

helping women to feel good investing. No doubt you'll have heard us talk about the gender pay gap,

but did you note there's also a gender investment gap in the UK of £1.65 trillion.

So, after spending our whole working lives worse off the men through lack of pensions,

savings and investments, we're more likely to be worse off in retirement too.

AJ Bell think women need to talk more openly about money. It shouldn't be embarrassing or confusing,

and I agree. The AJ Bell Money Matters campaign was founded in 2021 and offers a range of educational

material including in-person events, podcasts, articles and more to help get women talking about money.

The AJ Bell Money Matters podcast has all the news, information and inspiring interviews you need

to take control of your financial future. Listen to it wherever you found this podcast.

and that is a great lesson. So when you finish this one, you know what to do. In this episode,

I am talking to the actress Katie Wicks. She of ghosts and statelets flats and many, many other things.

We chatted about Katie's new book, Delacacy, a memoir about cake and death, which is out on April

the 15th, and is an absolutely cracking read. I genuinely loved it. It's really insightful,

it's really funny, and I think it says some important things about some important issues,

some of which we go on to discuss in the podcast, particularly the issue of body image.

We've plenty of other stuff coming up for the rest of the week. Jen will be chatting to Laura Huggins,
