It’s all kicking off in this week’s Dig It. Fashion really does come full circle… except those 90s jumpers are somehow much tighter than we remember. Jo and Zoe wonder whether we truly care less as we get older, or if we’re actually more consumed than ever with looking after parents, kids and everyone in between. Also, Jo once again lives out all of our dreams by dressing as a Christmas tree and bravely entering a Christmas tree netting machine. Trust us, you’ll want to see this one. Watch or listen now — and head to YouTube for the full visual moment.

Dig It is a Persephonica production
Jo and Zoe investigate the mysteries of sleepless nights, magnesium baths and the age-old question — does one armpit smell more than the other? There’s a hunt for invisible eyebrows, as well as teenage independence and a lively debate about when it’s actually acceptable to deck the halls.

Dig It is a Persephonica production
Jo and Zoe are back with a freshly brewed episode full of life updates, dodgy outfits and cat chaos. Jo takes us behind the scenes at a very bare Glastonbury, and the pair unpack Sara Cox’s emotional ultra-marathon. There’s chat about ageing well, festive music, garden gear that actually works.

Hello. I hope that you're fine. I am Boubacar BAH from Guinea Conakry 🇬🇳. I am really enjoying your episodes on CastBox. You make my time!
Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball have such a lovely, down-to-earth energy in Dig It—listening to them feels like catching up with old friends over coffee. I really enjoyed how they blend humor, honesty, and life stories, from gardening fails to personal reflections. It’s refreshing and comforting all at once, much like opening a new door on the Rituals Adventskalender—small, genuine moments that bring a little joy and connection each day. Which of their chats has stayed with you the most? https://ritualsadventskalender.de/
