Love Lives The Independent

This week, we’re joined by Sunday Times bestselling author Otegha Uwagba to discuss how she left the systemic racism and misogyny of the corporate world to pursue a career in writing.
We discuss everything from the paralysis of writer’s block, to how doom-scrolling on social media impacts body image.
We also discuss all things fashion, the problem with Saltburn, and if 17 minutes is an appropriate length for a voicenote.

BRIT Award winning singer-songwriter Tom Walker joins us to discuss his second album, I Am.
Tom opens up about one of the singles on the album, ‘Lifeline’, about the unexpected death of a friend, and how writing the song allowed him to process his grief.
“It’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written, but also the most difficult song to listen to. It’s certainly one of the realest things I’ve ever put down on paper, and you can feel that when you listen to it.”

This week on Love Lives, we’re joined by author Ela Lee to discuss her hotly anticipated novel, Jaded, which tells the story of a young lawyer who wakes up the morning after a work event with no memory of how she got home.
We chat with Ela about the confronting aftermath of “blackout sex”, the grey area of consent, and why we need to debunk the ‘nice guy’ myth to tackle rape culture.

Love Lives is back, and we’re kicking off the brand new season with journalist and author Bryony Gordon.
We talk to Bryony about her new book, Mad Woman, the hotly anticipated follow-up to her bestseller, Mad Girl. The book explores everything from perimenopause and the ongoing battle to prioritise women’s health, to addiction, binge eating, and mental health.
We also discuss Bryony's struggles with drugs and alcohol, cross-addicting to food, and some of the myths around OCD.
