Between Ourselves With Marian Keyes

Adulthood

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FM

Available for 9 months

Marian Keyes continues to be a publishing sensation - her works of fiction (Rachel's Holiday, The Break and her latest, Grown Ups, among many others) have sold in their millions, across the globe.

Marian reads selections from her non-fiction writing, in conversation with her friend, actor Tara Flynn.

She is a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines including The Sunday Times, Marie Claire and The Irish Independent. With the on-going international unpleasantness – and in the brief respite between lockdowns - this series was recorded without a studio audience at Marian’s home in County Dublin, Ireland. If you listen carefully you might hear the number 46A bus rumbling past.

Series 1 was described in The Observer as “a laugh out loud hoot” and the Daily Mail as “bright, funny and clever”, all of which is very much the plan for this second series. What we might lack in a studio audience reaction, we aim to make up for in warmth and witty, good-natured companionship.

In this final episode of the series, the theme is adulthood. The question is, are you grown up enough to hear Marian explain “How To Deal With A Hostile Hairdresser” and her experiences with “Therapies”?
