The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future have visited Nia and we can now bring a festive, cheerful examination of Christmas movies and play a game of Hallmark Christmas movie bingo!

Santa Claus is coming to town...but is he coming to Nia's house? He might find the chimney blocked, the doors locked and the Elf-on-the-Shelf in the bin.

Can Kevin Claus convert Naughty Nia to spread some festive cheer?!

For our last episode of series 1, we're looking at those stories that don't give us closure. How do we cope when we are left hanging? What can we do when we need to know what happens next?Nia wants to rant and potentially start TV/Film/Book reviews.... Left us know your thoughts!

From Hercules to hospital porters, Robin Hood to The Mabinogi, we’re asking: what really makes someone legendary? Is it bravery? Greatness? Or just good PR?In this myth-mashing episode, we dive into the ripples of legacy...from London 2012, the overlooked heroes of care work, and why society hands out statues to billionaires but forgets its best. There’s models, rules, drive, and one almighty emotions wheel. Plus: the Simpsons, sad endings, and a big finale twist involving Terror Management Theory (Google it, or just listen) ;)

Why childhood doesn't exist and why we should stop thinking it does.

What advice do you think the world needs to hear? In this shorter episode Kevin and Nia share ten points given by our future (or current?) rulers: TikTok and ChatGPT on what humanity needs to be told. Is it kind? and do you agree?

Be yourself, find yourself, and what is you ideal self vs. your actual self. Are you Faithful or Traitor? What is at your true core? and what is congruence? What do we strive for and what are we looking to avoid in replaying old narratives and rules? Nia and Kevin are looking into the mirror today to share what they see and what surprises them.

Ever felt like a fraud waiting to be found out? In this episode, we unpick the myths that shape imposter syndrome. From failure and success to judgement, evaluation, and reflection, we ask: what story are we really believing when we doubt ourselves, and who gets to decide if we’re imposters or legends?

After dismantling the myths men inherit in Man Up, Myth Down, Kevin and Nia turn their gaze to the women of myth, media, and memory. In The Worthy Woman, they unpick the enduring Maiden–Mother–Crone framework, asking why so many female characters still orbit someone else’s story. From Barbie’s existential awakening to Harry Potter’s and Terry's Pratchett's formidable witches, from Disney damsels to Disney matriarchs, the conversation explores who gets to be centred, who gets sidelined, and what the Bechdel Test can and can’t reveal. Along the way, they consider the patriarchy’s grip on even our smart speakers, and uncover the small rebellions hiding in pop culture’s most familiar faces. This is 'academia-light' with a healthy side of illuminating chit-chat, inviting you to rethink what makes a woman “worthy” (and who gets to decide).
