Everyone agrees podcasts are the best way to spend your free time, but films are good too. Mae, Ned and guest host Athena Kugblenu are joined by Radio 1's movie man Ali Plumb to talk best, worst, funniest and scariest. Ned has written an epic GrownUpLand thriller, Athena looks at the holy origins of Hollywood, Bisha is physically in Hollywood and Steve tells us how he dodged the movie ban in Syria.

Inconspicuous Consumption (19/01/2017)

"Now I’m a grown up… do I have to get married? Do I have to scrimp and save?? Do I have to host a dinner party??? GrownUpLand poses the most frustrating questions. Luckily, Sophie Duker, Heidi Regan and Ned Sedgwick are here to guide you through the bewildering pursuit of adulthood.
 
Through stupid challenges, useful facts and personal stories of rich victory and miserable failure, your guides will ensure you don’t feel alone in your hopeless endeavour to be a legit grown up. Plus, every week a special guest candidly shares their experiences, from failed dates and drunken mistakes to moments of clarity and pet hates. And the very handsome Steve Ali, a refugee from Syria now a writer and silversmith in the UK, helps to put a listener’s dilemma into perspective.
