We're back baby! After a long break (to read, watch, and in Sarah's case, actually break some tendons) Becky and Sarah return with a shedload of new loves, and a phenomenal first guest.

She's Mercury Prize 2020 shortlisted, the former composer-in-residence with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, loves a board game and has an MBE... Anna Meredith may well be our perfect enthusiastic guest and as always, we're asking the big questions, finding out who has inspired her, what her secret sidelines are, and what her Mastermind specialist subject would be.

Plus as per usual, Becky and Sarah's minds are in the gutter at every turn, Becky's been binging and Sarah's finally come to understand Reality TV... Heaven help us all.

If you enjoyed the episode, we'd love to hear from you (not if you didn't, that would be mean). You can reach us at the following:
