This week Laura Smyth and Michelle de Swarte ask whether we can ever really reach Nirvana or if peace will always be disrupted by a snoring bloke manspreading in the seat next to you.Michelle has been meeting some of her female heroes, is livid about being born too late for the rave scene, and has decided to avoid menopause by bathing in a vat of HRT.Laura’s been making besties on holiday, tells us about her new favourite ways to recharge the batteries and explains how our bodies are gaslighting us.Producer: Sasha Bobak Exec Producer: Pete Strauss Production Co-Ordinator: Katie Baum Editor: Joshan Chana A BBC Studios Production for Radio 4

Om Podcasten

In this chatty new podcast, comedians Michelle De Swarte and Laura Smyth review their weeks and share what they’re obsessed with, and whether it’s worth your time. Will having cold showers every morning make you a better person? (No, they will make you cold.) Are first class train tickets worth the extra £200 quid? (Sometimes.) Is it possible to upload a selfie to Instagram without looking like a d&*k? (Probably not but won’t stop us trying.) We’re going low brow, we’re going high brow. We’re doing the hard yards so you don’t have to. Producer: Pete Strauss Exec Producer: Rich Morris Production Co-Ordinator: Katie Baum Editor: Calum Sample A BBC Studios Production for Radio 4
