Mad, Sad and Bad with Paloma Faith

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. James O’Brien: The Therapy Session That Changed My Life

    James O’Brien: The Therapy Session That Changed My Life

    From speaking to opinionated callers on his radio show, to taking down Nigel Farage live on air, James O’Brien has dealt with his fair share of mad, sad and bad. Me and my Mum are also huge fans of his, so I was super excited to invite him over for a chat. In this episode, we delve deep into James’ early life; from being born to a young single mother and his subsequent adoption, to his experiences of corporal punishment at Catholic school. We discuss how these early experiences shaped him, and how therapy helped him to address some of the coping mechanisms and prejudices he had carried through childhood. He is open, vulnerable, deeply honest, and is the epitome positive masculinity. We also discuss being our therapists’ favourite clients, and James takes the liberty of dishing out some parenting advice to me! This conversation was political, hilarious, and deeply refreshing! #JAMESO'BRIEN #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Magda Cassidy Edit Producer: Pippa Brown Editor: Shane O'Byrne Video: Jake Ji & Grisha Nikolsky Video Editor: Joel Sommazzi & Josh Bennett Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Marketing: Eleanore Bamber Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Senior Exec Producer: Holly Newson Hosted on Acast.

    Jameela Jamil: I Love Being Invisible To Men

    Whether it’s calling out ridiculous (and frankly dangerous) beauty standards or holding people to account on social media, Jameela Jamil is a force to be reckoned with. She’s also an old friend who I could chat to forever, so of course she had to come join me on the pod! From the lessons she’s learnt from one of the saddest years of her life, to the madness of what we’re sold as acceptable social constructs - this conversation was everything I hoped it would be. Jameela even shares some regrets around some of the more bad things she’s said online... I always come away from spending time with Jameela feeling energised and enlightened - a real treat to have her over!

    Mel B: Finding Love Again After Escaping Abuse

    Mel B is an icon - she was always my favourite Spice Girl because I felt similar to her in some ways, so I was over the moon to invite her over to my house to chat... Mel's energy and zest for life exudes off her but there was a time in her life, in an abusive relationship, where she was a shadow of her former strong and powerful self. However, beyond that sadness, we talk about the madness of Spice Girls euphoria and how she is an absolute bad-ass - the reason I loved her so much in the first place. Spending time with Mel was everything I hoped it would be - chaotic, hilarious and moving. And if you or anyone you know has been affected by anything mentioned in our conversation, please visit www.womensaid.org.uk/womens-aid-directory If you'd like to watch Mel in Bear Hunt, head to Netflix now! — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Magda Cassidy Edit Producer: Pippa Brown Editor: Shane O'Byrne Video: Jake Ji & Grisha Nikolsky Video Editor: Josh Bennett Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Marketing: Eleanore Bamber Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Senior Exec Producer: Holly Newson Hosted on Acast.

    Alan Carr: I Use Humour As A Shield

    Alan Carr has been a great friend of mine for years so I was delighted when he said he'd be my first ever guest on Mad, Sad and Bad! Anyone who's ever seen or met Alan will know he has a magnetic presence and is a true entertainer. He's one of the funniest people I know, but I was excited to speak to him and go beyond the funny man and delve into a more serious side of Alan... We speak about the grief of losing a pet and exchange some (quite mad) stories of dating on the other side of divorce. He also shares the worst thing he's ever done, and I don't mind telling you, my jaw dropped... And as much as we get a little serious at times, this was still a very funny conversation! — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Magda Cassidy Edit Producer: Pippa Brown Editor: Shane O'Byrne Video: Jake Ji & Grisha Nikolsky Video Editor: Joel Sommazzi Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Marketing: Eleanore Bamber Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Senior Exec Producer: Holly Newson Hosted on Acast.
