Sophia Money-Coutts

Warning: there is a LOT of laughter in this episode. Sophia Money-Coutts is a journalist, columnist and the author of two hilarious novels, The Plus One and What Happens Now. I love Sophia’s writing – she is so, so funny but also so clever and observant, with a brilliant knack for taking a sideways look at everyday scenarios and making you think twice about them – whether that’s a date, a party or even what kind of mug you drink tea from. Join as we talk about “spurgling” (that’s sperm burgling fyi), ghosting, how it feels to have your parents read your sex scenes, her time working for Tatler and why we’re so obsessed with class.
