Mad, Sad and Bad with Paloma Faith

You might know telly LEGEND Davina McCall from Big Brother, but I grew up working out to her fitness DVDs in my student flat, lifting tins of baked beans 😂This conversation had EVERYTHING! We got into her wild clubbing days and then sobriety to losing her sister Caroline, learning to start over and finding joy through life’s toughest moments.Davina opens up about an incredibly challenging couple of years, from discovering a brain tumour and undergoing surgery to then being diagnosed with breast cancer. We talk about grief, self-compassion and the importance of checking your boobs (or breast tissue!), going to your mammograms and speaking up about your health.PLUS, my mum joins us to share her own experience of breast cancer. It’s an emotional one, but there’s plenty of laughter, love and a little bit of disco along the way.A really special episode with an important message. ❤️ Enjoy!!!!#DAVINAMCCALL #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBADThis episode is part of Going Big for Boobs, a collaboration between Paloma Faith, JamPot Productions, Candy Kittens and breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!

Welcome back to Mad, Sad and Bad!!!! To kick off the new series I have superstar Letitia Wright joining me in my living room!I’ve watched Letitia Wright since her early days on Top Boy. She’s gone on to become an iconic global star as Shuri in Black Panther, built her own production company and stepped behind the camera as a director.We talk about the parts of success people don’t always see: what it feels like to look back and be proud, the courage it takes to face your fears, and the importance of keeping some things private. Letitia also opened up to me about grief, faith and the industry she works in. And, OF COURSE, we put her popcorn knowledge to the test?!Enjoy and get ready for an AMAZING series 4! 💋Producer: Ross WhyattAssistant Producers: Lydia Brownell and Jonny BurkeSenior Videographer: Grisha NikolskyVideographer: Harry SawkinsAudio Engineer: Miles WhewaySenior Social Media Manager: Laura CoughlanProduction Manager: Archan MohilleProduction Coordinator: James CoxHead of Content: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Hosted on Acast.

Green party polls and membership are at an all time high, and there is one name at the centre of it all: THE Zack Polanski!! In just six months, he and his team have tripled its membership to nearly 200,000 - and it’s growing rapidly.At a time of climate collapse, abuses of power (recently exposed in the Epstein files) and multiple genocides, he represents something rare…hope.Openly gay, socialist and unapologetically vocal about minority rights, he’s also comfortable admitting when he’s wrong, which feels pretty radical in today's world. I put on my “I <3 Zack” t-shirt to talk about what it really means to make politics accessible, why we shouldn’t vote Reform, and his questionable acting stint in America…If you want to buy the t-shirt and support the greens I’ve attached the link here: https://katharinehamnett.teemill.com/product/i-heart-zack-white-t-shirt/ Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube#ZACKPOLANSKI #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBADCredits:Producer: Emilia GillAssistant Producer: Alex ReedAdditional Assistant Producer: Lydia BrownellVideo: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Lizzie McCarthy Sound: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Original music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger &Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Whenever I’m at a party, I always gravitate towards Philippa Perry. Not only is she a brilliant author, artist, and psychotherapist, but she is also my favourite person to chat with, and one of the wisest people I’ve ever met.We spoke about our mutual love for gossip (yes - therapists gossip too), the ‘blandification’ of culture, and why she’s no longer scared of dying. My amazing friend Airy (@airysomething) also popped in, and together we psychoanalysed some inanimate objects around my house (brought to life with some giant googly eyes!).You have to read Philippa’s new book, Shrink Solves Murder, which is released on 7th May and available for pre-order now.Oh, and don’t forget: I’m hosting a watch party for the concert film of The Glorification of Sadness & Greatest Hits on 22nd February!

My guest today is a fellow Hackney born and bred musician, who I’ve known since he was a kid…Kojey Radical!! He’s an incredible artist, creative director and poet, and has been nominated for MOBOs, Brits AND shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.We speak about what it’s like to blow up as a musician and trying not to let it get to your head, as well as what he gets up to when he’s left home alone…Kojey also talks about losing one of his closest friends to knife crime and the impact that had on him and his music. The Wickers Charity is a great organisation working to reduce knife crime and provide opportunities for young people in East London.

I want to be Anne-Marie’s best friend! Not just because she’s a martial arts world champion and could karate kick anyone that came for me…but she’s also a super-mum and global music icon.She was so open in this chat, we covered all sorts, from her struggles adjusting to postpartum life to taking advice on how to be in the spotlight from KSI. We also channelled our inner rage and smashed up some bits in my garden with a baseball bat…I’m so grateful to Anne-Marie for joining me on the show and being so honest. She’s the absolute best!!—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Magda Cassidy & Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Alex ReedVideo: Harry Sawkins, Grisha Nikolsky & Josh BennettSound: Joe RichardsonMix: Rafi Amsili Original music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone & Ewan Newbigging-ListerExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

To kick off series three I had the pleasure of inviting Leigh-Anne over, who is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met!! A fellow mum and someone who isn’t afraid to use their platform for good, she found fame in one of the BIGGEST girl groups of all time, Little Mix. Now she’s taking on the industry as an independent artist, on her own terms. 💅We speak about the pressures musicians face, the impact of trolls on mental health as well life in the limelight as a working mum. She’s an absolute icon and I could’ve spoken to her all day!Leigh-Anne’s debut album ‘My Ego Told Me To’ is out on 20th February 2026.  —Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima Rathbone Video: Grisha Nikolsky, Josh Bennett and Harry SawkinsSound: Joe RichardsonEdit producer: Rema MukenaAssistant Producer: Alex ReedMix: Dan KingOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone & Ewan Newbigging-ListerExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.
