Is It Just Me?

Happy Galentine's Day you beautiful lot! The legendary designer Lulu Guinness, the woman behind those iconic lip clutches among many other things, joins Jo and James to talk about all things glorious ahead of her first show at London Fashion Week. Lulu tells us what made her decide to join after 28 years; how she developed her own inimitable style and how she balances life with her depression, and the trio discuss three things that have got them asking, "Is it just me?" This week's episode was recorded on February 6 at Lulu Guinness's house. It was edited by Kat Brown, with music by Martin Austwick.

She's back! Last time Jameela Jamil joined Jo in the podcupboard, it was to talk about her forthcoming show, The Good Place. And now she's back to talk to Jo and James about what a huge hit it's become, and how it feels to have to keep your cool when you're filming opposite Ted Danson all the time. Plus, the trio tackle a listener 'Is It Just Me?' about comort zones; James gets hot and bothered about people not bothering to remember your name, and Jo's getting a professional declutterer in. Watch Jameela in the series finale of The Good Place on Netflix this Friday. This week's episode was recorded on January 31. It was edited by Kat Brown, with music by Martin Austwick.

Jo and James are joined by the comedian, actress, and writer of the hit sitcom GameFace (in which she also does all the above) Roisin Conaty to talk telly, panel shows, and writing your friends onto the screen. Plus, is it acceptable to ask for the invitation to the thing you want to go to? Is it just James who pretends to be more unhappy than he is to make a miserable friend feel better about themselves? And is it just none of these guys who'll do something purely for the praise and acknowledgement? All this and more on this week's show! This week's episode was recorded on January 10.

James and Jo are off to another famous kitchen, this time home to the writer and journalist Miranda Sawyer. Oh, and her dog, so if you hear anything weird, that's why. They talk about Miranda's book, Out of Time, middle age, and Meghan Markle who was just down the road when we recorded. And we have our first reader "Is It Just Me", so do email us with your suggestions. So, is it just me who'll tell people what we really think? Who doesn't like fake tan? And who doesn't know everyone in our family? This week's episode was recorded on January 9 in Miranda's kitchen. It was edited by Kat Brown, with music by Martin Austwick.

The comedian and actress Aisling Bea joins Jo and James in the podcupboard for some serious chat about freelancing, and some less serious chat about pretty much everything else. She's starring in the BBC's new drama, Hard Sun, from the creator of Luther, and you can watch the lot on iPlayer right now. But before any further shows can be plugged, the trio set to work analysing large group dinners (just say no), friends you can only really hang out with when you're both hammered, and the bittersweet feeling of being defined by what you do for a living. How can you break beyond that? This week's episode was recorded on January 4 at Acast Studios. It was edited by Kat Brown, with music by Martin Austwick.

Happy New Year! All forms of resolutions are put firmly by the wayside today, and instead, Jo and James settle in for several large cups of tea with the brilliant DJ extraordinaire Annie Mac, whose new album, Annie Mac Presents 2017, is out now. Annie discusses her career, working in a male dominated industry and how women are getting through, and the parts of her job she's had to put a lid on since having children. And the three talk about weddings, girl-on-girl feuds and the idea of being a "girly girl", and not giving a toss about turning 40. This week's episode was recorded on December 5 in Annie Mac's (very nice) kitchen. It was edited by Kat Brown, with music by Martin Austwick.

Happy Boxing Day everyone, hope you had a brilliant Christmas and that no relatives were harmed during conversations about Brexit. Jo and James have a proper festive treat this week – the inspiring and all-round good egg Davina McCall is here, talking about her new DVD Toned in 10 which is out today. But don't worry if exercise is the last thing on your mind right now, as they have a lot of non-exercise stuff to talk about too, including using psychics – Davina's story is pretty intense – and exactly who they've all been tweeting in hopes of a reply (still waiting on Dwayne Johnson tbh). And a long conversation about the menopause becomes a discussion about how to get men to open up. This week's episode was recorded on November 6 in central London.

Jo and James are back, back, BACK and to celebrate, they've brought the most fabulous addition to Strictly Come Dancing since Ed Balls and Gangnam Style: it's head judge Shirley Ballas! Shirley talks about her first season on the BBC, her relationship with Darcy, her tattoos, and how she deals with trolls – and what she thought of the online reception of Alexandra, as well as the "bitchy triplets" on I'm A Celebrity. This week's episode was recorded on December 19 at Shirley Ballas HQ (*not* down a well as you might have thought, but hey.) It was edited by Kat Brown, with music by Martin Austwick.

Hang on, James is still on holiday? Rude! Before he returns for next week's episode, Jo Elvin is joined by Kat Brown and the journalist, author and beauty expert, Sali Hughes, who joins the podcupboard to talk about the joys of makeup, her next book, and the hidden homeless. Last month, Sali and a group of friends raised thousands by sleeping rough - and it's a cause very close to Sali's heart as she explains on the show. And of course, there are three topics to dissect in great details. You can still sponsor Sali and raise money for Centrepoint. This week's episode was recorded on November 20 at Acast Studios.

Joy hits the podcupboard this week in the form of Nigella Lawson, who joins James Williams and Kat Brown to talk about her new BBC One show - and fabulous accompanying book - At My Table. So, once James managed to calm down about the "Dalai Lama of Domesticity" joining him, there was a lot to chat about, from Instagram, to poaching eggs without using a vortex. And of course, there are three topics to discuss. So hey, is it OK to be stuck in a food rut? Is it OK to have a slight hatred of fussy eaters? And is it OK to be a hoarder? This is the last Hey, It's OK... as we know it, but fear not: Jo and the pod gang will be back, right here on the feed, with the podcast in a new guise as Is It Just Me? in two weeks' time. Get all the latest news by following the podcupboard on Twitter: @jo_elvin, @JamesConradW12, @katbrown, and of course, @Nigella_Lawson And get us on Instagram: Jo, James, Kat and Nigella Episode produced by Kat Brown with music by Martin Austwick.

The Queen of the Jungle (and Empress of the sofa), Scarlett Moffatt, joins Jo and Leanne in the GLAMOUR podcupboard to talk about her new book, Me Life Story, before she jets off to the jungle to film I'm A Celebrity's... spin-off, Extra Camp. And of course, there are three topics of great import to discuss. So hey, is it OK to wear a slogan tee even if you have no idea what the slogan actually means? Is it OK to go all out for Halloween (have an amazing time tonight, by the way!)? And is it OK to not have the "uh-mazing" proposal story, or should you be aiming for something out of a Reese Witherspoon film? This episode was recorded on October 11 and edited by Kat Brown, with music from Martin Austwick. One note: it was recorded before Scarlett shared the sad news of her break-up. We love you Scarlett – chin up. Follow the podcupboard on Twitter: @jo_elvin @leannebayley @ScarlettMoffatt and @katbrown.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Emma Freud (and her adorable guinea pig Ron Burgundy) join Jo and Lucy in the GLAMOUR podcupboard to dish the dirt on the Mamma Mia! sequel, what's coming up for Comic Relief, and to have a general chit chat. And as ever, there are three vitally important topics to discuss, just like in a features meeting. So hey, is it OK to have a friend you have nothing in common with unless you're drinking? Is it OK to quit when you're winning? And is it OK to cut millennials some slack – enough of this avocado toast nonsense. Episode produced by Kat Brown, and recorded on September 6, with music by Martin Austwick.

The utterly lovely Jim Chapman joins Jo and Kat in the GLAMOUR podcupboard to talk about his new book, 147 Things, and life on Britain's YouTubing A-list. And of course, there are three topics to discuss. So hey, is it OK to like someone in real life, but hate their social media persona? Is it OK to refuse to join the "I'm just so stressed and busy!" cult? And is it OK to believe in ghosts? This episode was edited by Kat Brown with music by Martin Austwick, and was recorded on October 9.
