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.

    Derren Brown: I Flirted with the Idea of Gay Conversion Therapy

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! 🎃👻🖤 It’s my favourite time of the year and for our Halloween special, I’ve been joined by a REAL treat… Mr Mind Control himself, Derren Brown! You might know Derren for predicting the lottery or convincing someone they’d woken up in an apocalypse. I knew him as the man I thought had watched my Royal Variety performance in complete confusion. Turns out he actually enjoyed it, so we’re off to a good start! We talk about the things we bury and why they hold so much power, whether we can ever really know someone, and what scares a man who’s made a career out of messing with our minds. Derren also opens up about sexuality, religion and why a meaningful life needs a little sadness. And OF COURSE, it wouldn’t be a Halloween special without a few tricks and treats of our own… anyone for a zombie hunt? See Derren live in Only Human at London’s Apollo Theatre: https://london.derrenbrown.co.uk/ Credits: Producer: Ross Whyatt Assistant Producer: Lydia Brownell Videographers: Harry Sawkins and Lizzie McCarthy Audio Engineer: Miles Wheway Senior Social Media Manager: Laura Coughlan Production Manager: Archan Mohille Production Coordinator: James Cox Head of Content: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Hosted on Acast.

    Grace Campbell: My Abortion Guilt Made Me Feel Like a Bad Feminist

    People keep telling me Grace Campbell reminds them of me, which I’m taking as a HUGE compliment! She’s a North London legend, I’m an East London legend, so it was about time we met. I had a feeling we’d have plenty to talk about… Grace has made a career out of saying the things people are too embarrassed to say out loud, so naturally we got straight into it! We talk about unusual childhoods, being a politician’s daughter without the perks, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is turn your phone off and disappear for a bit. She also opens up about her abortion, the guilt of letting go and her experience of being stalked. An honest conversation about shame, relationships and finding your voice, with plenty of laughter along the way. PLUS, we’ve booked a dog psychic! Anita reads both our dogs, and you’ll be shocked by what they have to say. The amazing Grace Campbell, some very outspoken pets and absolutely no chance of a quiet afternoon.
