Off Air with Jane & Fi

We're just a few days out from Fi heading off to strap herself to a ski jump zipline in Oslo, but there's lots to discuss before then! Fi and Eve cover buying miscellaneous items in TK Maxx, maternal sounds, melted hidden chocolate, and teaching your children about your younger self.

Plus, The Sunday Times' Roya Nikkhah is presenting the live show with Fi this week. She speaks to pop star Pixie Lott about her new show 'Who Killed Marilyn?'

It's Wednesday and Fi and Eve have already had a meeting, a pre-meeting to the meeting, and a pre-pre-meeting conversation - but they're not all chatted out just yet! They cover getting distracted at work (ironically), there's news on Cheltenham, an update from our early-rising jeweller Harriet, and Fi gives us a song...

Plus, Professor Clare McGlynn, Professor of Law at Durham University, discusses her new book 'Exposed: The Rise of Extreme Porn and How We Fight Back'.

All aboard Fi and Eve’s tugboat! Jane is off to an undisclosed Greek island, fending off the paparazzi. Fi and Eve discuss Noel Edmonds’ Swap Shop’s impact on the circular economy, taking a film in two halves, labia-like hanging baskets, and their favourite times of day.

Plus, Laura Hackett, deputy literary editor and fiction editor across both The Sunday Times and The Times, stops in to share her book picks of the week.

We've made it to our eleventh book club edition (we think)! This time, we've been reading 'Interpreter of Maladies' by Jhumpa Lahiri. Was Jane won over by the short story form? (We're fairly confident you already know the answer to that!) Plus, the wonderful Laura Hackett, deputy literary editor and fiction editor across The Sunday Times and The Times, joins Jane and Fi to share her thoughts and expertise.

Fi is back on Monday, but Jane is off on holiday for a week, meaning Eve is back in the hot seat.

Thank you so much for all your enthusiasm, engagement and interaction. We hope you'll join us for the next one.

Jane is over bubble baths! She's matured! Please don't bring it up again. She's onto Epsom salts. Once that's been established, Jane and Fi cover resisting film hype, rowing on the club floor, David Cameron pointing at fish, and Howards' Way being our answer to Dallas.

Plus, electronic music duo Groove Armada discuss 25 years of their anthem Superstylin' and their upcoming hearing-safe gig for over-50s, designed to encourage people to get their hearing checked.

Anyone can take the free three-minute hearing test on the Specsavers website. If you're aged over 50 and take the test, you can join the list for free tickets to Groove Armada's gig at Phonox on Thursday 15 October. Go to Specsavers.co.uk/testlist.
