Allie Bailey
Allie Bailey thought that running would save her from her demons. She started running to stop drinking but found herself addicted to both things simultaneously. While running - and often winning - ultra-marathons all over the globe, Allie was often drunk and almost always hungover. Soon she realised she couldn’t outrun her bad habits. Following lockdown, a breakdown and an attempt to take her own life, she finally found a way of getting and staying sober . Allie tells me her story with honesty, humour and tons of swearing.

Johann Hari
Johann Hari started taking Ozempic, the new weight loss drug, in early 2023. But he was torn: he loved being slimmer but was concerned about the long term side-effects. He spent the last year travelling the world, speaking to experts and writing his fascinating new book Magic Pill - The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks Of The New Weight Loss Drugs. He joined me on this week’s pod to discuss the drugs, his lifelong weight issues and the mental impact of our obsession with the way we look.

When Mike, Tim and Andy lost their young daughters to suicide they felt lost, alone and engulfed by grief.
