Podcast Corner: Angela Scanlon's new show aims for the 'Therapist Ghosted Me' market
Angela Scanlon is one of those multi-hyphenated stars we've become used to in the 2020s - she's in ads, she's acting, she's presenting on TV and radio, she's co-founder of a buildable, customisable jewellery company, and yes, she's a podcast host.
Angela Scanlon's Thanks A Million came to an end in 2022, but she's back this month with Get a Grip, co-hosting with Vicky Pattison, a fellow multi-hyphen. The bio: 'From navigating motherhood and newlywed life, to dissecting culture, internet drama, and the ridiculous expectations placed on women, this is an unapologetic podcast where no topic is off-limits."
So basically, a bantercast, so beloved of the podcast ecosystem in 2025 - and yes, it is available in video form.
'I like an overshare,' says Scanlon early on in the first episode. Soon, Pattison is talking about wearing spanx, sharing some, ahem, toilet humour, about people who wear such to the Met Gala, and gossiping about Rihanna's third pregnancy ('When did the second one come?').
Come the second episode, Scanlon says she knows when her eggs are dropping; Pattison replies: 'Like a chicken!?' It's funny, a little TMI, and very much focused on the market cornered by My Therapist Ghosted Me.
The co-host of that show, Joanne McNally, is the first guest on Katherine Ryan's new show What's My Age Again?, wherein she asks her celebrity guests how they feel about ageing and then has them take a biological age test to find out how their bodies' age compares to their chronological age. It's science… we think.
Like Scanlon and Pattison, Ryan is also many different things to different people, perhaps most notably a standup and panellist on various UK shows. 'Why aren't you in the cryochamber,' she jokingly asks McNally - though it's something she returns to with her fifth guest Olivia Attwood, who came to fame on Love Island season three and hosts her own podcast, So Wrong, It's Right.
Indeed, Ryan admits to an interest in cryotherapy, Attwood telling her: 'I was doing that HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) over Christmas. So I had a couple of little procedures. And it's great for healing. And I was recommended into it. So I went down a hole of reading about the benefits of HBOT. And unfortunately, it's not available on the NHS, apart from very, very specific diseases. But the healing and your brain, your cells, that is incredible. The science is there. It's just not widely backed.' You may want to do your own research first.
As for the age test (there is a disclaimer that it's not a medical-grade device and the biological age is not a predictor of life expectancy), McNally is told she's an outlier, in the top 1%, while Attwood gets the lowest age possible. Perhaps What's My Age Again? Is best taken with a pinch of salt.

Vogue Williams' brutal one-word assessment of Spencer Matthews before they met
Vogue Williams had a blunt one-word assessment of husband Spencer Matthews before the pair met. Irish TV presenter Vogue, 39, met former Made in Chelsea man Spencer, 36, while filming Channel 4's The Jump in 2017. Their relationship blossomed while on set and they soon began dating, eventually trying to knot in 2018 at the Glen Affric estate in Scotland. They now share children Theodore, Gigi, and Otto together. Vogue, however, confessed to having a "preconceived idea" of Spencer. While he has since tackled extreme endurance challenges, like his astonishing 30 marathons over 30 days in Jordan's deserts, Spencer's life was much different during his early days. He first rose to fame as a heavy-drinking party boy in Made in Chelsea. It prompted Vogue to decide she wouldn't be a fan of the reality star. Speaking to The Sun, Vogue said: "I kind of met him with a preconceived idea, and I was like, 'I'm not going to like him' because I thought he was a sociopath." "But after I met him, I loved his personality straight away ... he was so sound, but I was being really good at being single and I wanted to stay single, so I thought, 'He's going to be a really good friend'? That's the first thing I thought." Even though it's all smooth sailing now, Vogue once shared that she would have given Spencer the digital cold shoulder on a dating app. On their podcast Vogue & Amber, alongside her sister Amber Wilson, Vogue chimed in advice for a fan navigating the tricky waters of online dating for true romance. Vogue Williams shared her thoughts on dating apps, saying: "I totally get that, and I've got single friends and they feel the same. Although dating apps are obviously a great place to start, I've personally never used them, but I've had a go on other peoples." She continued, "But you're just judging someone completely on the way they look. And I always say this, Spencer is obviously gorgeous, but he wouldn't have been my type when we met. And I would have swiped past him on a dating app." The love story between Vogue and Spencer Matthews has blossomed over the years, with the couple recently marking their seventh wedding anniversary. While they kept celebrations low-key this year, Vogue has grand plans for their tenth anniversary. On her podcast 'My Therapist Ghosted Me', Vogue revealed to her friend Joanne McNally that she's planning a third wedding in 2028. This follows their second wedding, which was part of their reality TV series 'Vogue, Spencer and Wedding Two'. She explained: "I have bad news. Spen and I, when we're 10 years married, in three years time, we are going to do a wedding. I know that we got married, but when we got married in Scotland and that wasn't meant to be our wedding, there were like 20 people there. "Then we did the TV wedding, which wasn't a real wedding, because it just wasn't a real wedding, it was for TV. We actually want to do a wedding in three years' time when we're married for 10 years. No one will bloody believe it, imagine being married to someone for 10 years."

Stunning star of 90s album cover lived very wild life after iconic snap – would you recognise her now?
THE sexy nurse trope is hardly original but this stunning porn star's take on the theme is the thing of punk rock legend. Blink 182's 1999 hit album Enema of the State was one of the decade's most recognisable pieces of cover art. Advertisement 6 Blink 182's Enema of the State album cover has legendary status 6 Janine Lindemulder was immortalised on the cover and in the video for What's My Age Again? Credit: YouTube The American punk group, renowned for their fart gags, pop parodies and power chords, drafted in Janine Lindemulder, 55, to take centre stage on their second LP. The adult actress - whose work the band were not aware of at the time of her casting - wore a white hat adorned with a red cross, a white shirt left open to tease her red bra, and knowingly pulled her hand into a blue latex glove as her heavily made-up face smiled at the camera. On the back cover, band members Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker and Between the imagery and the album title, subtlety went out of the window. Advertisement READ MORE ON BLINK Originally, the album was due to be called Turn Around and Cough, which photographer David Goldman said inspired the now legendary images. Unsurprisingly, there was controversy around picture. The Red Cross demanded the band remove the emblem from Janine's hat as it broke the Geneva Convention. It was subsequently changed to the letter B. The album was a huge success, selling over 15 million copies worldwide and catapulting the band to the big leagues. Singles What's My Age Again?, All The Small Things and Adam's Song received heavy radio play and are synonymous with the era to this day.

Kourtney Kardashian pays tribute to iconic Blink 182 video as she copies it for baby announcement Despite distancing herself from blue movies, she was inducted into the industry's hall of fame in 2022. And two years after that, the lure of a big money industry return proved too and she mounted a comeback, performing with men for the first time in her porn career. Advertisement Janine's comeback coincided with her divorce from West Coast Choppers star Jesse James, who would later marry A-list actress Sandra Bullock. That short-lived marriage wasn't her first celebrity romance. She famously featured in a homemade sex tape with Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil in 1998. James and Janine found themselves locked in a bitter custody battle in 2009 after she was released from prison having served six months for a $300k tax evasion. Despite knowing she owed the huge sum, she splashed out more than $600k on a new home and two cars instead of paying back the debt. Advertisement James was granted custody of their daughter Sunny, then five, while Janine was locked up. Following her release, she unsuccessfully challenged the arrangement, which saw her receive weekly visitation rights. At the time, James and Bullock argued Janine wasn't always in the right condition to look after Sunny, and they found themselves on 'high alert'. Janine argued that her drug use was a thing of the past and told Advertisement James divorced Bullock in 2010 and has since married twice more. The dad-of-four most recently tied the knot to porn actress and fifth wife Bonnie Rotten in 2022. While Janine divorced her third husband, Jeremy Aikman, in 2010 after just one year together.
