Celebrity Traitors, thank you. Oh, the unbridled joy of watching people actively deceive each other for entertainment in a Scottish castle, even if one of those celebs (Amol) blatantly disregarded the advice that Jordan texted him. Needed that lightness though to counteract the heaviness of the news, because we couldn’t ignore the Cornell 7 story. Both Miquita and Jordan had a lot to say about how triggering that unfolding story has been, and why it horrifyingly speaks so much to the female experience. Miss Me?

We really didn’t know where this one would go but thanks Miss Me? listeners, as ever the questions being asked on ‘eras of time’ are iconic. From whether the 90s really were the best, to whether calling everything an ‘era’ now has diluted the power of that word. Somewhere along the way Miquita and Jordan also end up in a debate over whether all celebrities can be called icons or if that’s reserved for the lofty artistic heights of just a few. Next week we’re after your voice note questions on CHEMISTRY. If you want to take it to chemical equations that’s as valid as a deep dive into Ryan…

An apology on Miss Me? led to Miquita joining Fearne Cotton for her latest Happy Place festival, plus Jordan and Keets react to Monty Don’s decision to leave Gardener’s World.
