The rain has eased off - and we’re in Regent’s Park with the fabulous Naga Munchetty!

Naga us about show she experienced excruciating periods from the age of 15 - and how that led her to writing her new book It’s Probably Nothing - where she draws on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed to explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny.

We also find out how Naga deals with criticism, behaviour she won’t stand for on the train - and the *very* usual thing she does between courses at dinner…

It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations on the Women's Health Crisis and What We Can Do About It is out now. You can buy your copy here!

Join Emily and Raymond on a rainy day in London’s Regent’s Park - with the legendary BBC Breakfast and BBC 5 Live broadcaster Naga Munchetty.

Naga revealed to us that, although she is the proud owner of two cats, she is in fact a dog person… although, Raymond’s not quite her size…

We found out all about Naga’s childhood in South London as the daughter of two nurses. She tells us how it felt to straddle two cultures as a child, why she won’t apologise for her intelligence and the importance of BBC Breakfast.

In Naga’s new book It’s Probably Nothing she draws on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed to explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny.

Join Emily and Raymond for the second half our walk with the brilliant comedian (and one of our favourite people on the planet) Suzi Ruffell!

We chatted to Suzi about how anxiety goes hand in hand with stand up comedy, her brilliant mum and dad and learning to love the Pet Shop Boys.

Suzi’s new book Am I Having Fun Now is a candid, funny and moving memoir. Suzi covers everything from masking anxiety with musical theatre, developing an obsession with Titanic, and struggling to find her groove at school, on stage, and in her love life, to (eventually) coming out, falling in love, and becoming a parent, Suzi lays her life bare with signature wit and style.
