    Heroes & Villains

    Heroes & Villains

    Stories of heroes and villains, good versus (preferably conquering) evil, have always been with us, and extremely popular.
    But have they always been conflated with our views of daily life and people, which seem to have become so polarised?
    Why  does do more people these days seem to be either worshiped or vilified?
    .
    Having listened to the brilliant Jon Ronson on Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey (link below), host Frances Butt is joined by Chrissy Van Dyke for a wade through the culture wars...

    Dysmorphia

    Dysmorphia

    Dissatisfaction or discomfort with one's appearance - we all have a little bit, but the beauty and slimming industries as well as popular culture feed the body shaming and 'othering' that can lead to very serious dysmorphic disorders like anorexia, addictions, extreme plastic surgery, etc.

    Host Frances talks to peri-menopause, body image and confidence coach Tamsin Broster about how she's helping women - and her own children - feel happy in their own skins.
