Off Air... with Jane and Fi

A saccharine note of journo pap - with Elizabeth Day

Ep. 7

One day on from having to tear up the script and start yesterday's show again, Jane and Fi return to discuss Hugh Edwards 10 second warning about The Queen's death and when else they've had to be quick on their feet in the studio.


They are joined by the author and How to Fail podcast host Elizabeth Day; to talk about friendship, writing for different audiences, and what happened when she interviewed Liz Truss.


Also, Jane appears to have misunderstood the aeroplane mode function on her phone, and the pair have selected their personal special cubicles.
