Octogenarian Shirley Conran, author of Superwoman and Lace, tells Jenni why women need to embrace sex whatever their age. A report by the London School of Economics and the Centre for Mental Health has found significant gaps in the detection of mental health problems in the period before and after birth, saying that only an estimated 40% are diagnosed, with just 3% of women experiencing a full recovery. Rabbi Ariel Friedlander, theologian and star of the American Christian music scene, Vicky Beeching and Safra project board member, Nadia, discuss the tensions that exist between their faith and sexuality. Jana Kennedy and her mother Heidi Stransky on their mother and daughter comedy show.
