Welcome to Thursday! Jane and Fi are life's dreamers today - Jane has been dreaming of the Wicker Man, while Fi is dreaming of doughnuts and a return to the oaky Chardonnays of the 1980s... They also cover going grey, emotional support cockatoos, getting Fi to Ambridge, and the John Lewis cruise-wear department. We've also attached quite a strong accent warning to today's episode... And Lady Glenconner, lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret and friend to the King (and to the podcast), discusses her latest book 'Trunks and Tiaras'.

Welcome to Tuesday. The winding Off Air river continues to meander into your ears. Today, Jane and Fi navigate the waters of deceit in politics and reliable parenting, sail past French protests and sex toys, make a brief detour to Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, before arriving at the poignant shores of Greenham Common. Quite the journey. There's no guest today so enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the silly division! Jane is off this week, but she’ll be back next week. In the meantime, Fi and Eve cover the similarities between breast-feeding and boxers, reluctant Traitors, suspicious tumble-dried banknotes, and more performative reading.

He brings his silliness and his book picks for the week, including 'A Past Without Pictures' by Jonathan Ames, 'The Brightness' by Chad Harbach and 'Never Say War' by Åsne Seierstad.

Fi's got a cough, which she thinks she got from Eve, who thinks she got it from Jane. It's a cough train – the worst kind. Bear with us... In between coughs, Fi and Eve chat Fi's new iron, the joys of book clubs, male aggression in the wild, and the rise of athleisure. Plus, journalist Matthew Sweet discusses his new book 'The Great Dictator: A Life of Barbara Cartland'.

Fi 's spun the hypothetical wheel of co-presenters today and landed on Rosie.
