Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emetophobia & a Perfect Winter Salad

Phoebe Waller-Bridge talks all things Fleabag and Killing Eve. Why more women have a fear of vomiting than men. And the perfect salad of red leaves, mackerel and blood orange

Phoebe Waller-Bridge, famous for Fleabag and Killing Eve, is on the programme.

We hear why the fear of being sick or hearing others be sick affects more women than men. It's called emetophobia and someone who suffers from it explains what it's like. Professor David Veale, a consultant psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital, joins us too. 

Islamic faith marriages aren’t valid under English law according to a recent Court of Appeal ruling. Now campaigners are worried that thousands of Muslim women have no rights if they divorce. We hear from Somiya who had to persuade her husband to marry her officially and Pragna Patel from Southall Black Sisters.  

An all-female team of investigative journalists from the 50-50 team at Open Democracy carried out an investigation into crisis pregnancy centres in 18 countries. Nandini Archer, the assistant editor, tells what they found out. 

We cook the perfect winter salad of red leaves, mackeral and orange with the food writer Catherine Phipps.

And Tilda Offen, Harriet Adams and Ellie Welling, friends of 17 year old Ellie Gould who was murdered last year, tell us why they want self-defence classes to be part of the national curriculum.
