Mel Giedroyc on woke comedy and being inspired by near-bankruptcy
ITV News presenter Julie Etchingham is back with another series of Ask A Woman - the podcast that seeks enlightening answers from bright, powerful, fascinating and funny women.
After a small pause caused by a big pandemic, Julie's out to find out what each guest has learned in lockdown and ask them: what comes next?
The first guest in the new eight-part series is comic performer, TV presenter and now novelist Mel Giedroyc, who tells Julie:
1:30 - why she's spent so much time in a cupboard in lockdown 4:00 - about the hilarious family crisis that erupted as she prepared to go live for Eurovision 6:13 - how the pandemic brought unexpected joy with her teenage children 9:30 - why a near-bankruptcy experience inspired her lockdown novel 16.20 - about reuniting after lockdown to act (and laugh at old photographs) with Sue Perkins 19.00 - her feelings on cancel culture and woke comedy and whether Mel and Sue's early routines would work now 24.10 - the three women (including one truly remarkable and radical ancestor) who she’d invite to her dream dinner party
