What’s my age (gap relationship) again?

<p>Good news - Lena Dunham’s Girls is coming back! Bad news - are women ‘broken’? Miquita and Jordan have a lot to say on both these topics. From being inspired by the TV antics of female friendships in New York, to being curious about the words Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan used to discuss his age-gap relationship this week. ‘Tis the season, natch, for pumpkins so there’s a sprinkling of Halloween past and present too.</p><br><p>Miss Me?

Listen Bitch! Cartoons... Lola Bunny is a BABE

<p>Miquita remembers how Pinocchio scarred her for life, and Jordan is shocked to learn the original fairytales were even darker. </p><p>Jordan is also back on his Space Jam bullshit and deep dives how the show changed the course of his life.

Divorce, empaths and ethical porn

<p>Miquita shares how she helped Lily through a high-stakes divorce. They’re hard. And horrible. So Jordan asks why it’s easier to get married than go through the legal drama of separation. </p><br><p>And a heads up that in this episode we talk about sexual themes you might find distressing. Do take care when listening. That’s because there’s big news in the world of online porn, as the government has announced content showing ‘choking’ or incest will be banned. Jordan and Miquita reflect on how their own porn habits have changed throughout their lives.</p><br><p>Plus, Jordan has been getting mad at people calling themselves ‘empaths’.

Amy Winehouse & Oasis: Double standards of sex & drugs & rock’n’roll

<p>Miquita and Jordan do not hold back on how the press vultures came at Amy, more so because she happened to be a female pop star. Oasis did not suffer the same scrutiny. Yet the raw genius of Amy Winehouse&#39;s Back to Black still stands, 20 years on. She deserved better.</p><p>Jordan gets Ally of the Year at the Attitude Awards and reveals the thought process behind his speech, and Miquita explains why artist and stage designer Es Devlin’s work means so much to her.

Dissecting Celebrity Traitors, and the Cornell 7 Story

<p>Celebrity Traitors, thank you. Oh, the unbridled joy of watching people actively deceive each other for entertainment in a Scottish castle, even if one of those celebs (Amol) blatantly disregarded the advice that Jordan texted him. Needed that lightness though to counteract the heaviness of the news, because we couldn’t ignore the Cornell 7 story. Both Miquita and Jordan had a lot to say about how triggering that unfolding story has been, and why it horrifyingly speaks so much to the female experience.</p><br><p>Miss Me?

We May Destroy the BBC

<p>Look, relationships are complicated. Yes, we had a thing with the BBC, then we left the BBC, but we never stopped loving the BBC. Miquita and Jordan get into the implications for TV culture with this latest round of BBC cuts. They also talk about why reading is the most dangerous thing you can do right now, and share what it was like to help reveal the Booker Prize shortlist (Miquita) and be the new face of Dr. Marten’s alongside Chloë Sevigny (Jordan).</p><br><p>Miss Me?

Sheeran, Strictly & SNL UK

Listen Bitch! What’s Your Best Era?

<p>We really didn’t know where this one would go but thanks Miss Me? listeners, as ever the questions being asked on ‘eras of time’ are iconic. From whether the 90s really were the best, to whether calling everything an ‘era’ now has diluted the power of that word.

An Appreciation of Fearne Cotton and Monty Don

<p>An apology on Miss Me? led to Miquita joining Fearne Cotton for her latest Happy Place festival, plus Jordan and Keets react to Monty Don’s decision to leave Gardener’s World. And why was it the books we consider children’s classics all got written around about the same time? Miquita Oliver and Jordan Stephens question what led J.R.R. Tolkien and Lewis Carroll to think up the stories about hobbits and wonderland, and if their imaginations may have been enhanced in any way? Meanwhile looking at TV schedules today, why does violence towards women feature so much, and is violence an inevitability we should prepare for?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Get weekly recommendations for things to watch or read or listen to from the Miss Me?

Pets are Family

<p>The painful truth of loving a pet gets explored as Miquita Oliver returns from holiday to join Jordan Stephens for their weekly catch-up. Alongside the pain is the utter soul-soothing balm of having a pet as part of the family. Plus is carnival actually Black Christmas?
