Britain’s Oldest Dominatrix: “It’s far more than whips and chains…”

Today, we're stepping into the world of BDSM... We’re joined by the brilliant Sherry Lever, who is known professionally as Mistress Sofia. She is a 74-year-old grandmother who just so happens to be Britain’s oldest professional dominatrix. From the outside, the world of BDSM might seem intimidating… and we certainly had a lot to learn. But Sherry breaks down the myths for us, highlighting the importance of communication, consent and boundaries within her work, to reveal the more emotional side of being a dominatrix. She even introduced us to a very different kind of CBT (and it’s not the type your therapist offers...) As self-confessed members of the vanilla population, we came away from this conversation with our eyes opened and our assumptions challenged - we hope you find it as fascinating as we did!

Fame, power and the women seeking justice: inside the trials of Diddy, Brand, Depp vs Heard and Lively vs Baldoni…. with The Crime Analyst

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, confused or angry about the high-profile court cases going on at the moment… this is the episode for you.  Today, we’re joined by criminal behavioural analyst and creator of The Crime Analyst podcast - Laura Richards. She came in to help us unpack and understand the media and public conversation around the high profile cases of Sean Diddy Combs, Blake Likely vs Justin Baldoni, Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard and Russell Brand.  Laura trained at New Scotland Yard and the FBI Behavioural Analysis Units and is an international expert on domestic violence, stalking, sexual violence, homicide and risk assessment. Laura breaks down what’s happening inside these high profile courtrooms and with her expertise in coercive control, power dynamics and the criminal justice system, she helps us understand how these cases reflect misogyny, victim-blaming and institutional failure. We also explore how these stories are framed, how narratives are manipulated, and how society often protects the powerful at the expense of the vulnerable.  Follow @crimeanalyst on InstagramFollow @laurarichards999 on Instagram If you are curious about the ‘who dunnit’ and the ‘why dunnit’ and how and why victims become footnotes in their own murders, Laura’s podcast Crime Analyst is for you.

"I was 15 when my naked picture was leaked"... with Jess Davies

In recent episodes, we’ve been discussing the disturbing rise in male violence against women and girls, and how technology is accelerating and amplifying these threats. From AI-generated deepfakes to the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, the digital world has created new frontiers for abuse and it’s more important than ever to talk about it. Today, we're continuing that conversation with presenter, women’s rights campaigner, and former model Jess Davies. Jess opens up about her personal experience of being a victim of image abuse multiple times in her life, including when she was a child. She talks about the long-lasting impact that trauma had on her sense of self, her career, and her relationships and how she has used that experience to become an advocate for women.  Jess’s new book No One Wants To See Your Dick - is a handbook for survival in the digital world to help us understand and tackle online misogyny and question society's understanding (or lack of) when it comes to consent.

Periods, pain and being ignored: Naga Munchetty on the women’s health crisis

Women's healthcare is in crisis - and things need to change. Today’s guest is the legendary broadcaster Naga Munchetty - Naga is one of the UK’s most high-profile journalists known for her work on BBC Breakfast and BBC 5 Live. But behind her incredible career, Naga has been living with a debilitating condition: since her teenage years, she’s suffered from excruciatingly painful periods… so severe they caused her to vomit, faint, and miss out on everyday life. After being diagnosed with a condition called adenomyosis at the age of 47 - Naga made it her mission to advocate for better healthcare for women and in Naga’s new book It’s Probably Nothing she draws on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed to explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny.  It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations on the Women's Health Crisis and What We Can Do About It is out now.

Rethinking farming: mental health, loneliness, and breaking boundaries… with Clarkson's Farm's Harriet

Harriet Cowan is not your stereotypical farmer. British farmers are under pressure and are often misunderstood. Harriet is making it her mission to change our perception of farmers and farming. Not only does this woman run two farms with her boyfriend - she also works five days a week as a nurse - we're pretty sure she's one of the hardest working people in the country. She came in to tell us all about the fascinating, relentless farming industry - what it means to take over a family farm, the pressures she and other farmers are under and the mental health impact of loneliness amongst farmers.  We had a lot to learn from Harriet - she’s an incredibly passionate, driven woman - and she taught us so much about this vital industry.  Follow @harrietcowan_x on Instagram You can watch Harriet in action on series 4 of Clarkson’s Farm. The first four episodes are available now on Prime Video and the next four episodes will be released on May 30th and June 6th.  JOIN US FOR OUR BIGGEST EVER LIVE SHOW - we'll be taking over Edinburgh's iconic Usher Hall for one night only on 3rd September 2025 for an evening of unfiltered chat, big laughs, and meaningful connection, live on stage.

‘Woman killed’ - but by who? Dismantling the media spin on male violence

Words matter and the way we use them can either uphold or challenge harmful systems. This week we’re joined by Sydney - the co-founder of This Ends Now, a not-for-profit dedicated to preventing male violence against women and girls through reframing conversations. Sydney tells us how language plays a powerful role in shaping our understanding of sexism and male violence and how changing the words we use can help dismantle the patriarchy. We dive into their powerful ‘Red Pen’ campaign, which calls out the victim-blaming, misogynistic language too often used in headlines and police reports and corrects them to advocate for responsible reporting. Our chat with Sydney was fascinating, and really opened up our eyes to how simple changes to the language we use can make a huge difference - and felt particularly important off the back of our conversation with Laura Bates last week. Do go back and listen to that episode if you haven’t already.  Follow @thisendsnow__ on Instagram  Read more about all the work of This Ends Now at https://www.thisendsnow.co.uk/  Read the Words Matter Reporting Guidelines here If you'd like to get in touch, you can email us on [email protected]  Follow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldn Should I Delete That is produced by Faye LawrenceStudio Manager: Dex RoyVideo Editor: Celia GomezSocial Media Manager: Emma-Kirsty FraserMusic: Alex Andrew Hosted on Acast.

Cyber brothels, AI girlfriends and misogynistic algorithms: Laura Bates on the new age of sexism

The Netflix show Adolescence opened up the conversation about male violence and the radicalisation of young boys online into the mainstream. But how much do we really know about what young boys are viewing online and the effect is has on them? This week, we're joined by someone whose work has shaped the conversation around gender, power, and the internet for over a decade - writer, activist, and founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, Laura Bates. We were so thrilled to welcome Laura back on the podcast to talk about her brand new book, The New Age of Sexism - an examination of how misogyny is evolving in the digital age. We spoke to her in light of the rise in incel culture, the mainstreaming of online radicalisation, and the links between toxic masculinity and real-world male violence, This conversation touches on some upsetting themes - specifically violence against women and sexual abuse. But Laura gives us practical advice on a personal and policy level to help us eradicate this new wave of gendered hate. We learned so much from this conversation and we hope you will too.

Just Us: We need to talk about Adolescence...

Mercury is in retrograde and we’re all feeling it…  Em, Al and Xanthe are in the studio today - and we’re gonna be honest… it was a little hard for us to find goods for this week’s GBA. Al’s been getting violent at the dentist and Em’s household has been hit by the flu.  We also dive into the conversations that have been opened up in the mainstream in the wake of the Netflix show Adolescence - which follows the story of a 13 year old boy who is arrested for the murder of a girl in his school. We discuss the rise of online misogyny, how it’s affecting young boys and what hope we have of stopping it. This conversation does discuss plot points from Adolescence - but if you haven’t seen it - the conversation mainly focuses on the issues the show brings up rather than the details of the plot. It won’t ruin the show, but you may get more from this conversation if you’ve seen at least the first two episodes of the series.  Listen to Sam Browne’s spoken work piece ‘Silly Billy’.

"Stand-up comedy is a drug" ... with Russell Kane

He tells us about this experience growing up funny in a working class household with a hyper-masculine father and how that experience built his career and how it has been reflected in his own attitude to fatherhood.  This conversation goes so much further than comedy - as we touch on everything from evolutionary biology, male sperm counts to emotional vulnerability - to unpack what Russell sees as a new vision for young men.  This episode was recorded in November 2024.

And we have a very special guest in the studio…  Join Em and Al for a big old catch up after Em has been on maternity leave.  We find out about all about Xanthe’s arrival into the world - she’s a total ray of sunshine! We also find out how Em’s feeling now she’s no longer unwell…  And take a deep breath - because we have a little format update for you - we PROMISE this is the last time we’re moving things around and we promise you’re going to love it.  Do you have an Is It Just Me for us? Is there someone you really want us to interview? Do you have an idea for Em's 30,000 exercise challenge? Email us on [email protected]!
