What contraception should I be using?

Accredited sex and relationships therapist Cate Campbell and her son, Diggory Waite, chat about the groundbreaking work of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the pioneers of human sexuality research. They discuss how their unconventional experiments—often involving themselves—shaped modern understanding of sexual behaviour. Then, Cate and Diggory answer listener questions, tackling topics like non-hormonal contraception options that minimise discomfort, and whether fluctuating "hard-soft" erections are something to worry about.

MICHAEL MORPURGO

Michael Morpurgo chooses Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson More about this book: It started with a map. In the summer of 1894 Robert Louis Stevenson, often chronically unwell, passed the time drawing: “I made the map of an island; it was elaborately and (I thought) beautifully coloured; the shape of it took my fancy beyond expression; it contained harbours that pleased me like sonnets; and with the unconsciousness of the predestined, I ticketed my performance "Treasure Island. …. as I pored upon my map of "Treasure Island," the future characters of the book began to appear there visibly among imaginary woods; and their brown faces and bright weapons peeped out upon me from unexpected quarters, as they passed to and fro, fighting, and hunting treasure, on these few square inches of a flat projection. The next thing I knew, I had some paper before me and was writing out a list of chapters. How often have I done so, and the thing gone no farther! But there seemed elements of success about this enterprise.” And success indeed followed this adventure of the high seas, of treacherous pirates and buried treasure. Other books mentioned during the episode: When Fishes Flew by Michael Morpurgo Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo War Horse by Michael Morpurgo The Kites are Flying by Michael Morpurgo Twice Upon A Time is presented by Janet Ellis Producer is Caroline Raphael Recording and editing by John Wakefield and Diggory Waite Exec Producer is Claire Broughton Twice Upon A Time is a Hat Trick Podcast Follow us @twiceuponpod for pictures of the books and the guests.

BEN MILLER

Ben Miller chooses King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green (first published by Puffin Books in 1953) More about Ben's choice: Roger Lancelyn Green (1918 – 1987) wrote many books for children and adults but is best known for his retelling of ancient classic myths from tales of the Norse to the Egyptian gods for young readers. King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table was published in 1954 and is still in print.

He was also a close friend of C.S Lewis who credited him with coming up with the title The Chronicles of Narnia and also encouraging his friend to persevere with the books. Books mentioned within the programme: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Simon Armitage Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory Twice Upon A Time is produced by Caroline Raphael, Sound Design and Editing by John Wakefield, Assistant Producer Diggory Waite.

LAUREN CHILD

Lauren Child chooses The Eighteenth Emergency by Betsy Byars More about Lauren's choice: Betsy Byars (1928 – 2020) was a prolific and award winning American children’s writer. The Eighteenth Emergency was her 9th out of over 40 books, published in the US in 1973 and a year later in the UK. She started writing to fend off the boredom of being at home with small children and was undeterred by her first book being rejected nine times. The Eighteenth Emergency was inspired by her fear of the tyrants of her own school playground, the Fletcher brothers. In later years she got her pilot’s licence and lived with her pilot husband above an aircraft hangar.

POSY SIMMONDS

Posy Simmonds chooses The Tale of Mr Tod by Beatrix Potter. Potter, born in 1866, didn’t publish her first book, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit,” until her mid-30s. Having grown up isolated from other children, she had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District. She would go on to write 23 tales for children, but as early as 1913, at the height of her fame, she began to wind down her career to devote herself to sheep farming in England’s Lake District. Previous to her career writing children's books, Potter's study and watercolours of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. Due to purchasing farms and parcels of land over her decades living in the Lake District and subsequently leaving them to the National Trust after her death, she is credited with preserving much of the land that now constitutes the Lake District National Park. Twice Upon A Time is hosted by Janet Ellis Produced by Caroline Raphael Recording and editing by John Wakefield and Diggory Waite. It is a Hat Trick Podcast.
