Definitely Cheat on Your Boyfriend ft. John Aggasild

Definitely Cheat on Your Boyfriend ft. John Aggasild

This week the girlies are joined by human man, stand-up comedian and Lauren's boyfriend John Aggasild! John fights some widespread and frankly fierce allegations that he used sheer nepotism to get a guest spot on the podcast by digging deep to help the babes answer some juicy questions!

This week the girlies and John discuss how to start dating as a newly-out and newly single baby gay, and how to face the inevitable rejection of life. They then tackle how to deal with the boring, wrong and very loud opinions of  that cursed sub-group of men: the boyfriends of your friends. Listen to hear all this gorgeousness plus a stunning reveal about why John is legally prohibited from giving Lauren advice!

John is performing his second solo show, WELCOME BACK a Romantic Stand Up Comedy Show, every day at the Edinburgh Fringe at City Cafe at 10:40am until 28 August. Buy tickets HERE: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/john-aggasild-welcome-back

Hair Colour is Huge for White People Ft. Beth Johnston

Hair Colour is Huge for White People Ft. Beth Johnston

The guests simply REFUSE to stop coming on Listen Babes as acclaimed FILM DIRECTOR Beth Johnston joins Lauren and Roma in the studio! 

Beth uses her incisive eye to provide some bullshit-free analysis for this weeks questions. Questions which INCLUDE: how do you tell someone to stop interrupting you? Do you tell them at all? What if that person literally controls your income?? Find out how the babes decide by clicking 'Play'! P.S if you listen closely, you might finally learn how to stop being beta and become alpha. 

The babes then discuss a question about ghosting as a means to end long-term friendships and the lessons we can learn from the pain, if any. And if we can't learn anything, can we enjoy a little bit of spite as a treat? 

Although this episode contains some truly thorny issues, the babes address the most pressing issue of the show to date: what exactly is the difference between redheads and gingers?
