Paloma Faith has had plenty of moments in her life when she's felt mad, sad or bad - or been told that's what she's being. But do these words mean the same for everyone? What does it mean if someone says you're mad: that you're angry? Unstable? Insane? Or perhaps just different... Could those words be liberating, therapeutic or even transformational? To find out more, Paloma invites an array of actors, comedians, musicians and thinkers into her home to reflect on times where they've felt mad, sad, bad - and even glad - what they've understood and learnt from these experiences too. This podcast takes us into Paloma's world, with friends and family popping in occasionally - come for the chaos; stay for the conversation! New Episodes every Tuesday Hosted on Acast.

  1. Philippa Perry: Bad Relationships Made Me Dislike Myself

    Philippa Perry: Bad Relationships Made Me Dislike Myself

    Whenever I’m at a party, I always gravitate towards Philippa Perry. Not only is she a brilliant author, artist, and psychotherapist, but she is also my favourite person to chat with, and one of the wisest people I’ve ever met. We spoke about our mutual love for gossip (yes - therapists gossip too), the ‘blandification’ of culture, and why she’s no longer scared of dying. My amazing friend Airy (@airysomething) also popped in, and together we psychoanalysed some inanimate objects around my house (brought to life with some giant googly eyes!). You have to read Philippa’s new book, Shrink Solves Murder, which is released on 7th May and available for pre-order now. Oh, and don’t forget: I’m hosting a watch party for the concert film of The Glorification of Sadness & Greatest Hits on 22nd February!

    Self Esteem: Success Is The Best Revenge

    Rebecca Lucy Taylor (AKA Self Esteem) is an absolute icon to me! The most talented singer, actor AND author, what can’t she do?? We spoke about our shared experiences as female musicians in the industry, her ‘dream’ holiday (turned nightmare), and whether calling yourself Self Esteem actually helps you have any…  We also spoke about postpartum psychosis with my good friend and author Laura Dockrill. Her brilliant memoir “What Have I Done?” is out now. This was such an interesting conversation and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!! You can catch Rebecca starring in “Teeth ‘n’ Smiles” at the Duke of York theatre in London from March 12th, tickets are on sale now! Her book ‘A Complicated Woman’ is out now.

    Kojey Radical: Losing My Friend To Kn*fe Crime Stopped Me Quitting Music

    My guest today is a fellow Hackney born and bred musician, who I’ve known since he was a kid…Kojey Radical!! He’s an incredible artist, creative director and poet, and has been nominated for MOBOs, Brits AND shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. We speak about what it’s like to blow up as a musician and trying not to let it get to your head, as well as what he gets up to when he’s left home alone… Kojey also talks about losing one of his closest friends to knife crime and the impact that had on him and his music.  The Wickers Charity is a great organisation working to reduce knife crime and provide opportunities for young people in East London.

    Richard E. Grant: My Dad Tried To Shoot Me

    It’s not every day a certified LEGEND like Richard E. Grant comes round for a chat on my sofa. Nicknamed the ‘Kindest Man in Hollywood’, he is an Oscar-nominated actor who starred in blockbusters like Withnail & I, Dracula and Saltburn. We covered everything from his turbulent childhood, losing his wife Joan of 38 years, being betrayed by a close friend - oh and Richard’s love of the Traitors. Richard also got a reading from my favourite tarot card-reading drag queen Miss Leigh Ding! Also, I still can’t believe he bumped into Olivia Coleman on the way here?! Thanks so much to @miss.leigh.ding for the amazing tarot! — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Emilia Gill Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Harry Sawkins, Jake Ji & Lizzie McCarthy Sound: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

    Anne-Marie: Struggling With Postpartum Life

    I want to be Anne-Marie’s best friend! Not just because she’s a martial arts world champion and could karate kick anyone that came for me…but she’s also a super-mum and global music icon. She was so open in this chat, we covered all sorts, from her struggles adjusting to postpartum life to taking advice on how to be in the spotlight from KSI. We also channelled our inner rage and smashed up some bits in my garden with a baseball bat… I’m so grateful to Anne-Marie for joining me on the show and being so honest. She’s the absolute best!! — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Magda Cassidy & Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Harry Sawkins, Grisha Nikolsky & Josh Bennett Sound: Joe Richardson Mix: Rafi Amsili  Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone & Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

    Russell Kane: We’re Not Raised To Be In Touch With Pleasure

    Russell Kane is someone I have SO much respect for! I’m so grateful for his honesty in this conversation, from discussing sexual literacy to dealing with the loss of his dad. After winning his first comedy award in 2004, his career grew very quickly. He was forced to learn the ropes in the public eye and is open about his regrets. We also spoke about his Nan, who encouraged him to go to university and how she walked in on him… enjoying some alone time 😬  This was such a fascinating conversation, especially hearing Russell’s willingness to openly reflect on his own decisions and mistakes. I loved chatting to Russell and I hope you enjoy this episode! — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone, Emilia Gill Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Grisha Nikolsky, Josh Bennett and Harry Sawkins Sound: Joe Richardson Mix: Rafi Amsili Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone & Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

    Leigh-Anne Pinnock: Heartbreak is WILD

    To kick off series three I had the pleasure of inviting Leigh-Anne over, who is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met!!  A fellow mum and someone who isn’t afraid to use their platform for good, she found fame in one of the BIGGEST girl groups of all time, Little Mix. Now she’s taking on the industry as an independent artist, on her own terms. 💅 We speak about the pressures musicians face, the impact of trolls on mental health as well life in the limelight as a working mum. She’s an absolute icon and I could’ve spoken to her all day! Leigh-Anne’s debut album ‘My Ego Told Me To’ is out on 20th February 2026.   — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone  Video: Grisha Nikolsky, Josh Bennett and Harry Sawkins Sound: Joe Richardson Edit producer: Rema Mukena Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Mix: Dan King Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone & Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.
