Summary

After finding herself stuck in a decade-long cycle of toxic and controlling relationships, comedian and writer Maddy Anholt embarked on a period of self-reflection, therapy, and research about the perpetrators of domestic abuse. She caught up with Jen to talk about her new book How To Leave Your Psychopath, patterns of abuse and being endorsed by Melanie Brown. Sobriety coach Veronica Valli is on a mission to spread the word that “sober” doesn’t mean “boring” and that you can visit festivals and wear lipstick without being under the influence. Mick chats to Veronica to find out more about why we drink booze, why our culture is so soaked in it and how to manage our relationship with, or without, it. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen’s tipping the hat to our victorious curlers, there are shirts akimbo in Rated or Dated, as the team watches 1997’s The Crucible, and Hannah asks an important philosophical question about pizzas and forests in BT.
