Our enthusiasm knows no bounds - even when it comes to naming genitals apparently. Another week brings another batch of legitimate and brilliant recommendations (The Hungover Games, Pobby and Dingan) and a slightly larger batch of the absurd/nauseating (Gallagher and Albarn literotica, childhood names for genitals etc), in what genuinely may be our most ridiculous episode yet. You'll love it.
Our guest this week is the brilliant author, former lawyer and expert on love, Laura Mucha. Her book We Need To Talk About Love (Bloomsbury) is an international journey through the lived lives of love, based on scrupulous research and extraordinary personal accounts, not least from Laura herself. Would you have expected someone with these accolades to be into flying trapeze? Nope, us neither. She's a wonder.
As always, we'd love to hear what you think of the episode, and what you've been particularly enthusiastic about this week - you can get in touch at the following:
