GrownUpLand
"Now I’m a grown up… do I have to get married? Do I have to scrimp and save?? Do I have to host a dinner party??? GrownUpLand poses the most frustrating questions. Luckily, Sophie Duker, Heidi Regan and Ned Sedgwick are here to guide you through the bewildering pursuit of adulthood. Through stupid challenges, useful facts and personal stories of rich victory and miserable failure, your guides will ensure you don’t feel alone in your hopeless endeavour to be a legit grown up. Plus, every week a special guest candidly shares their experiences, from failed dates and drunken mistakes to moments of clarity and pet hates. And the very handsome Steve Ali, a refugee from Syria now a writer and silversmith in the UK, helps to put a listener’s dilemma into perspective. Co-created by Deborah Frances-White for The Spontaneity Shop and BBC Radio 4. Produced by Al Riddell."

Super relatable topics and really warm and funny comedians on the show. I especially love Steve Ali’s perspective as a Syrian refugee, as we don’t hear enough from the perspectives of refugees in mainstream media.

Existentialism made accessible

I think the discussions are great and becoming even more critical. I love that there is something that pulls together the British experience (range of speakers), follows the relationships and, as a result, offers a stimulus for constructive cultural development.
