Available for over a year

Severe obesity is twice as common in women as it is in men. It costs the NHS billions every year and shortens life expectancy. So what is the government planning to do when it comes to policy and what can be done to tackle this on a personal level? It's sixty years since Patricia Greene made her first appearance on the Archers. All this week we talk to Paddy about how her character Jill has reflected changes in women's lives. Among the subjects covered today are motherhood, abortion and infertility. With over 25 million followers across her platforms and one billion views on YouTube alone, Bethany Mota is one of the most powerful voices on social media. She joins Jane to discuss her career. Dating is hard at the best of time, but how much harder is it if you have a difficult personal situation. Jane talks to two women, one who suffers from bi-polar disorder, another who has given up alcohol.
