James Device & John Bulock: The Forgotten Men of the Pendle Witch Trials

Katie Price, Nothing to Hide: Changed My Mind... But Not in the Way You Might Think
Last night I binged Katie Price: Nothing to Hide, and I'll admit, I went into it with a completely different perspective than I would have done a year ago. Like a lot of people who grew up in the 90s, Katie Price has always been impossible to ignore. Whether you knew her as Jordan, followed her reality shows, or simply caught the headlines in the supermarket queue, it felt as though she was everywhere. And if I'm honest, over the years I've probably done what many people have

Why Podcasts Matter More Than Ever | The Power of Conversation and Storytelling
There was a time when listening was something we all did a little more. We listened to stories told by grandparents around the kitchen table. We listened to local radio presenters who felt like old friends. We listened to conversations that wandered, meandered and occasionally went completely off topic before somehow finding their way home again.

Slinky By Tuesday: Bottomless Brunches, Brilliant Theatre and the Joy of Making Time for Fun
Sometimes life has a habit of becoming one long cycle of work, chores and trying to keep cool during a British heatwave. This week, we decided enough was enough. If we're honest, we'd reached the point where most of our conversations consisted of:"It's hot.""I'm melting.""Can we just lie in a cold bath?" We're definitely autumn people. Give us crisp mornings, Halloween decorations, cosy jumpers and the promise of Christmas over thirty-degree temperatures any day of the week.

Ruth Ellis Pardon: Could the Pendle Witches Be Next?
History is rarely as settled as we like to believe.
Every generation inherits stories that feel complete. Cases that seem closed. Verdicts that appear beyond question. Yet every so often, something happens that forces us to look again.....This week, that happened with Ruth Ellis- the last woman to be hanged in Britain.

They Say You Go From Panto to Pinter...
They say you go from panto to Pinter. Looking back, I don't think I ever truly appreciated just how much time, effort and money my parents invested in taking us to the theatre and concerts when we were growing up. It's only as an adult that I've realised what an incredible gift that was. My earliest theatre memories are of our annual pilgrimage to the Nottingham Playhouse pantomime, watching the wonderful Kenneth Alan Taylor... still, to this day, the greatest Dame I've ever

England Won, We’re All Tired, and It Was Absolutely Worth It
Well, England won last night, which means the nation has woken up today in one of two states.
Either triumphantly refreshed, full of national pride and ready to take on the week…
Or slightly cross-eyed from staying up too late, pretending to colleagues that we’re “absolutely fine” when really we need a strong coffee, a lie down and possibly a fanfare every time we move from one room to another.

Why We'd Love You to Come on Slinky By Tuesday The Podcast
One of the best things about podcasting is that everyone has a story. Sometimes it's a big, life-changing story. Sometimes it's something much more simple, a hobby, a passion or a funny adventure that makes you smile whenever you think about it. But the truth is, the things we're interested in and the experiences we've had often make for the very best conversations. That's why we'd love to hear from you. Perhaps you're on a weight loss journey and want to share the highs, the

Heatwaves, Whitby and Looking Ahead
Well, it's been a hot one to state the blooming obvious! The kind of hot where you check the weather app every hour hoping for a thunderstorm, the dogs refuse to move from the coolest spot in the house and even making a cup of tea (which apparently is a good thing in this heat) feels like an extreme sport. All this sunshine has got us thinking about our mum, who was pregnant with Katie during the famous summer of 1976. For those who remember it, it wasn't just a nice summer.

Slinky By Tuesday 30th June 2026: Back to Slimming World, Doc Martin and Dog of the Week
This week on Slinky By Tuesday, we finally returned to the scales after a few difficult weeks with the Furry T's. As many of you know, we lost our beloved beagle Cyril earlier this month, and shortly afterwards his "other half", our gorgeous Mabel, suffered a seizure. It's been an emotional few weeks, but if success is about getting up one more time than you fall down, it was time to face the music. Katie had gained 3½lbs over three weeks, while Lucy was up just 1lb. Consider
