Today Lindsey is persuaded to get a psychic reading at her local hairdresser ‘Curl Up & Pie’ (it also serves pastries). After being blanked by the spirits she comforts her mum who is in a custody battle with her ex over their shared DJ equipment. Lindsey saves the day with a stroke of genius that strikes whilst she’s hiding in a toilet cubicle. Welcome to the life of the most beautiful princess in all of Birmingham and its surrounding areas. This week Lindsey Santoro has started a diary. But she’s not 13 years old daydreaming about her latest crush and sleepover plans. She’s a 37-year-old no-nonsense Brummie whose days are more likely to involve thrush cream and a bargy with a bus driver. You are cordially invited to step into her world and learn lessons from her lively life. Producer: Sasha Bobak Production Coordinator: Katie Baum Script Editor: Ruth Husko Executive Producer: Pete Strauss A BBC Studios Audio Production for Radio 4.
