Real Talk is a podcast for women, by women and non-binary people. We’re constantly being told how to be, look and think, and it all can all get overwhelming. We have taken six key issues; racism, body image, sustainable fashion, mental health, relationships, and consent; that keep popping up on our news feeds every day. Along with a panel of journalists, influencers and policy changers, we’re going to try and break those down together. Presented by Gemma Bradley.

Katie Thistleton, Clara Oliveira and Meghan Gilleece break down what it's like to live with depression, anxiety and OCD and how to manage it. They get real about the root cause of their own mental health issues, and talk openly about different triggers and the simple but effective things they do every day to cope. They each talk about all the different ways you can get help, and what's worked for them. It's an honest and raw conversation about managing and being mindful of your mental health.

Sarah Louise Ryan, Prishita Maheshwari-Aplin and Char Bailey explore what makes a healthy relationship and how dating apps have changed the way interact with each other. Have reality TV and rom-coms changed how we view love? How do our parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents relationships affect our future ones? Are we overthinking it?
Each decade brings a new standard of beauty, and with it, a new set of body issues. Why is 'fat' bad and 'skinny' good? Can you judge someone's health based purely on how they look? Jess Davies, Nicole Quigley and Lucy Wyndham-Read talk candidly about their own issues, and how to change the narrative.
