This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Hi. This is an excellent Christmas or Thanksgiving present for the more discerning reader. Buy it from Amazon here> https://amzn.to/2P02Jey or visit Bryony's own site here> https://www.bryonydoran.com/ Meanwhile, let's hear what The Book Bag website has to say about it... "The China Bird is a delicate novel. Not over-emotional, it hovers like an insistent moth around the edges of your consciousness, quietly insisting that you turn just one more page. Spot-on characterisation ensures you will have a view on each of the protagonists, a view that will change as the book moves back and forth, but one which will always have you wanting to know what will become of their hopes and dreams and disasters." Go on... spoil someone you love with your excellent book choice.. Cheers, Bill Allerton

It's Not That I'm Not 34:10

34:10

As far as I am aware, this is the sole recorded output of a duo who were prevalent on the Folk/Poetry scene in Sheffield in the 90's. This album dates from '91 and I know I saw them prior to that. They are Stuart Arfield (Guitar) and Rob Smith (Spoken Word). Most of the sentiments expressed here were sarcastic comments on the way the world was progressing (?) Unfortunately for us, the world seems intent on imitating Bob's astute observations. Stuart's guitar can be heard around Yorkshire with Big City Blues.…

This is not a Diet! But I will tell you what I do and why, and why you should probably do it too. Eating to Live instead of the other way around resulted in a loss of 30% of fat body weight I did not need. All by following Doctors Advice from 1957! Good advice never dies, it just gets lost in the detail of modern thinking.

RAMBLING MAN... A short Story by Tim Woods 35:40

An excellent track from an up-and-coming writer, Tim Woods. This story relates to people who spend so much time in diversionary hobbies that their own life very rapidly becomes an unsatisfactory past. Tim says that this story was inspired by one of my own and for those few kind words, I am very grateful…

Almost Home 13:54

Here’s a reworking of my favourite track, Almost Home, from my favourite Sheffield musician, Andy Whitehouse, and fellow musician Matt Howden. This is a track I use frequently to front my podcasts and it has resonance with me on all sorts of levels. You might remember Andy from two of my previous podcasts. If you don’t, go and look for the links in our podcast library. You’ll find a full interview in Kelham Island Discs playlist and a major contribution from Andy to ‘A Stent In Time’. https://andywhitehouse.bandcamp.com/track/almost-home-2 andywhitehouse0@gmail.com…

Okay so this isn't Radio One and I'm not really a DJ. But... here are a few original tracks from people I have interviewed over the last couple of years and one or two others thrown in. The mood is variable, as I say I'm no DJ, but I hope enjoyable. Get your stompin' boots on for some of them too!

Recorded entirely in Room 324 by kind permission of the Holiday Inn overlooking Brentford Lock in London, Jorge Ramirez displays vividly why his music and good humour helps to fill restaurants and pubs wherever he plays. Jorge is a long-time friend who I don't see enough of. He also attempted to improve my guitar playing...Hmmmm...…

Pearl 9: Arthur Thickett. An extra-ordinary man 1:08:27

Arthur Thickett passed away some time in 2011. Perhaps he'd had enough of our capacity to make war not love. Arthur's is a moving life story of a remarkable man. Here, his loves, hopes and desires are wrestled with on a daily basis. Here also are the things he hated, mostly war and hypocrisy. A more-than intelligent child of his time, struggling to overcome humble beginnings, Arthur chimes for us all. Arthur's books are available at queensparkbooks.org.uk.…

This time the Urban Tiger is in conversation with Stewart Lodge, a comedy practitioner who defies convention and genre. There is a thin line between comedy weird and comedy genius and I think Stewart stands astride that line in a way that I respect and admire. Especially when he performs 'Little Johnny Cash'. See if you can categorise his talent, I can't...…
