The Bosom Podcast

We are back for Season 2! I am not really sure what justifies having a Season 2, but after 10 eps and a big summer break that I thought it could be time. I am coming back with guest of all guests - activist and author Charlie Craggs. Charlie is the founder of Nail Transphobia, an organisation that seeks to educate people on trans issues and create new allies while giving manicures. We spoke about challenging perceptions of victimhood, the role of incredibly iconic icons, and the importance of remembering and memorialising trans figures who otherwise might not be remembered by the books. Charlie is hilarious and iconic herself, as well as being so thoughtful and passionate about creating change. I loved speaking to her, and I hope you love listening to.Once again a big ol thanks to Ally and Heli Shilson for their stunning tunes, and to Sophie Kamlish for her artwork!We are now on Spotify too! So give us a listen there too if you fancy :))))FINALLY if you're feeling friendly give us a nice rate and review <3

Today I am talking to the fantastic Cathy Reay, aka @thatsinglemum. Influencer, editor, writer and skincare expert, we spoke about feeling seen, confronting yourself and your opinions and fancying drummers. Cathy is great, and I would hugely recommend checking out what she has to say about motherhood, disability, skincare and her lovely new cat (as well as many many many other things)If you enjoyed, please leave a review! Thank you so much to Ally and Helena Shilson for their music, and to Sophie Kamlish for the bloody lovely artwork!!See ya sooooon xoxox

Today's episode features author Maame Blue. Her novel, 'Bad Love', was published last year Jacaranda Books’ #TwentyIn2020 authors and has recently been awarded a Betty Trask Award. Chatting to Maame was both hilarious and affirming, and we spoke about the trials and tribulations of working out who you are in your twenties, feeling and expressing yourself through other people's art, and the the importance of friends who know your worth maybe more than you do. I am so grateful that Maame took the time to speak to me: it was so much fun and I hope you come away from this episode feeling as warm and fulfilled as I did after our conversation.Click for Maame's 'Bad Love' Spotify PlaylistThank you to Ally and Helena Shilson for their lovely music, and Sophie Kamlish for the best designs ever

Nathalia Garcia is today's guest, and it was a joy to chat Disney, books and English teachers with her. Nathalia is a reading fanatic and businesswoman working in the world of gaming and marketing, and we spoke about balancing motherhood and careers, looking to older female role models to work out who you want to be and the joys of learning about yourself and the world through art and reading. Thank you to Ally and Heli Shilson for the tunes throughout, and to Sophie Kamlish for the divine artwork. Please leave a review if you're feeling friendly!! <3

Today's guest is writer and performer Zelda Solomon, Co-Founder of theatre company 'Sexy Asians in Your Area'. Our conversation is a bit longer than my others, only because we spoke for hours and it became impossible to narrow it down. We chatted about hybridity and the role that plays in Asian identity, as well as working through your own understanding of yourself versus other's interpretation of that, and the importance of friends and heroes in that process. Zelda is fab, as is Sexy Asians in Your Area, and I would thoroughly recommend checking out more of their work.If you like these please give it a review and a rating! Mostly for my self-esteem but also for #progress.Thank you to Ally and Heli Shilson for the music, and to Sophie Kamlish for the beautiful artwork.
