It’s Christmas Day — Merry Christmas, everyone! 
Is the turkey in the oven yet? Or are you already wondering where it all went wrong?
Fear not. Today's co-host is a man who changed the way many of us think about vegetables, flavour, and generosity at the table, Yotam Ottolenghi. And yes, he might just be able to save your Christmas Dinner.
Born in Jerusalem and based in London, Ottolenghi didn’t just popularise Middle Eastern cooking in the West — he reframed it. His food is bold, comforting, and always delicious.
We dive in to the inbox to hear all about how you spend the day, your frankly hilarious triumphs and disasters and a few calm, practical tips from Yotam to help everything run more smoothly — whether that’s finally getting the potatoes right, surviving family dynamics, or knowing when it’s time to gently (or not so gently) call out your homophobic aunty.

Ever got revenge after someone did you dirty? 
This week, we’re joined by the Queen of Comeuppance herself, viral revenge-story icon Charlie Craggs, as she officially enters the Homo Sapiens family.
Together, we dive headfirst into your wildest confessions — moments you saw red and snapped. Honestly? After reading these… I’m never crossing any of you.
We also get into the big questions:
Is revenge ever justified when it comes to LGBT hate? Charlie shares her very unique method of dealing with a dodgy tradie who tried to rip her off, and we ask when forgiveness is actually the better option — if ever.
Petty, powerful, and painfully relatable. Click Play Now

A little treat for you on this blustery Friday—an extra snippet from our first episode with the brilliant Megan Crabbe. Our conversation was so great we couldn’t fit it all into the main podcast, so here’s the part you didn’t hear.
Megan was one of the original trailblazers of the Body Positivity movement—calling out diet culture long before it became a trend. In this bonus clip, we talk about how she found herself at the forefront of that shift, and she shares more about her personal journey with queerness.
I adore Megan. I could listen to her speak forever—hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
