Dive into the depths of youthful infatuation with this week's episode featuring the incomparable Nikita Lalwani!

Nikita is a Booker nominated novelist and screenwriter, but we talk about all sorts of nonsense despite that. From trying to win the heart of the chess geeks with brain power, to psychically revisiting crushes years later to mine stories for her books, we dive deep into the murky waters of teenage longing.

It's a fab episode. Hope you enjoy it.

We had a fantastic recording at Machynlleth comedy festival on Sunday with Henry Paker and his - and I quote - "psychosexual awakenings". I can't wait to share that one with you - it'll be hot on the heels of this one. Well, in about two weeks, you know the schedule.

Thank you for being a part of this mad, mad thing. Your support means the world to me.

With love and gratitude,
