    Woman's Own, November 1972

    Welcome to Guess The Meat with Lucy and Franki! ... Only joking! That would be insane.  This episode, Franki is taking the Mag Hags deeper into the archives than they have gone before… to Woman’s Own, November 1972. A relic of the mid-century suburban housewife, this mag is serving up hobby how-tos, a guide to hats, and a free sheet of ‘foil-edged cooking film’. No, we have no idea either.  There’s speculation about Prince Charles’s love life, a quick lesson in menstrual history, plus a reader’s story of Loving Against The Odds (spoiler: it involves a woman setting aside her own feelings).  Plus: the Mag Hags risk cutting diplomatic ties with France following an ad for Vichy skincare. Want more of these mags? Sign up for the Mag Hags newsletter. See the features we talk about in the show, marvel at the amazing adverts, enjoy vintage fashion, beauty, and lifestyle tips, and get access to loads of other bonus bits. Plus episode transcripts straight to your inbox. Go to maghags.substack.com If you are enjoying the show, why not buy us a coffee?

    New Woman, September 1997

    Dig out your Union Jack tea-towel dresses, girls! This time, Lucy is leading the way through a magazine that’s channeling all the Girl-Powered benign anarchy of Spice World: The Movie. It’s New Woman, September 1997.  There’s a ‘how-to’ for spying on your boyfriend, bafflingly horny ads and – in depressingly 90s style – a feature about how you can weigh 10st and still be technically obese (check the time stamps if you’d rather sit this one out).  Then, stick around for the guide to disaster-free dinner parties that is less Ottolenghi and Instagram tablescaping, more homemade margs and snogging the downstairs neighbour in the loo.

    Good Housekeeping, March 1988

    The Mag Hags are back and cooking with gas! This episode Franki and Lucy ponder on some cutting edge household appliances – cordless iron, anyone? Because, yes, Franki is guiding us on a tour through Good Housekeeping, March 1988.  There’s Ovaltine innuendo, shoulder-revealing fashion, and a self-help book extract suggesting that Lucy could be a threat to Franki’s marriage.  Plus, a questionable beauty feature calls for back-up, so Franki speaks to award-winning beauty editor and author Anita Bhagwandas.  Want more of these mags?

    Honey, March 1976

    Lucy and Franki are back with more dispatches from vintage women’s glossies.  This week, Lucy is heading to Honey magazine March 1976 – but it’s less Patti Smith and Sex! on the Kings Road, more women named Sue and unequal division of household labour.  We also meet the last of debutantes, contemplate a bath-time workout, and witness a disastrous PR campaign for British Rail.  Meanwhile Franki is underwhelmed by “Strip Monopoly”. And the Mag Hags ponder: did the editorial staff of mid-70s Honey realise they were selling the bucolic lesbian dream?  Want more of these magazines? Sign up for the Mag Hags newsletter.

    Cosmopolitan, October 1982

    Welcome to the very first episode of Mag Hags, the podcast that every modern woman should know. Join Franki and Lucy as they dive into the glossy archives of women’s magazines to find out what's still hot, and what's definitely not.  And where else to begin than the OG of having it all: Cosmopolitan. Franki has travelled back in time to October 1982, when The Pill turned 21 and publishers were just cottoning on to the idea that women buy books. Elsewhere, a hapless man gets some Thatcherite therapy and the Mag Hags get some dinner inspo from a truly astonishing advertiser. Plus, Lucy reveals her daddy issues about His Majesty King Charles III. Want more of these magazines? Sign up for the Mag Hags newsletter.
