Get A Grip with Angela Scanlon and Vicky Pattison

It’s officially been one whole year of Get A Grip!! Angela and Vicky are celebrating the only way they know how: with sprinkly cake, chaotic nostalgia and a deep dive into the glory days of being a millennial woman. From disposable cameras and WKDs to dancefloor pull tactics and surviving on one hour’s sleep, the girls are reminiscing about nights out in the noughties. Plus, Angela tells us all about getting chatted up in Boots… 👀

Angela and Vicky are coming in hot with your suggestions for how to live a more whimsical life - from waving at trees to whimsical tattoo designs. Vicky's particularly touched by a note from a gaggler who's reframing the expectations of motherhood, and things take something of a strange turn as conversation turns to Seagull rights.

Vicky spills all after her star-studded red carpet moment at the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere, including a surreal run-in with the one and only Donatella Versace. Plus, the ladies unpack David Haye’s controversial comments about women, and they take on the wider debate around “pretty privilege”.

After last week's deep dive into so-called tradwife college, Vicky and Angela are turning the tables and asking the Gagglers what courses they'd like to see in a male equivalent... but is it actually just exposing their own internalised misogyny?

Vicky and Angela are taking a deep dive into the so-called Tradwife college - a selection of courses designed to help young women become 'marriage ready' and recently exposed by Vanity Fair. Is it a problematic example of conservative values holding women back? Or is it an opportunity for busy women to get a bit of peace and quiet? It's the former obviously, but that won't stop Big Red trying out all the angles. Plus, why whimsymaxxing is the new hype we can definitely get on board with.

Angela and Vicky are fully consumed by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, and their take on first date etiquette. Plus, the Gagglers’ wildest first date horror stories are in, and they do not disappoint. From catfishers to Wacky Warehouses, it’s a full-blown dating nightmare… but one big question remains: is going halves on the first date a total dealbreaker?

Angela’s house is thrown into chaos after a rogue bird (the avian kind) flies straight into her living room. The ladies are in awe of the incredible Artemis II crew, after their historic mission puts women front and centre in STEM. And things turn onto Coachella, where not everyone’s performance is taking off. The girls unpack the festival, including Justin Bieber’s rather questionable set.

It's weirdly educational in the studio as the ladies dive into some mind-blowing facts sent in by the Gagglers, including one about Cleopatra that sends Vicky into full-on mansplain mode. There’s also a big old “f*** it” moment from listener Liz, who’s taken a leap of faith, plus a spicy message about smutty books that might just transform your sex life.

The ladies are throwing the term “geriatric pregnancy” straight in the bin (where it belongs), as queen Sienna Miller calls for less shame around having babies after 40. Angela has an allergy scare on holiday, and Vicky debriefs from Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off - featuring cat’s bumhole Swiss rolls and a Paul Hollywood hug.
