• 322: Athletics, book writing and a disappointing pole vaulter with Emily Murray (aka @pinkhouseliving)

  Imagine taking up athletics in your forties, discovering you're great at the triple jump, and going on to set a brand new record. That's what Emily Murray (aka @pinkhouseliving) did - and she's here to tell us all about it. We learn about the Masters Athletics Federation, and how they offer people of all ages the chance to compete for actual medals. We discuss the pros and cons of being a super competitive person, and Emily explains how her perspective on winning has changed over the years. There's also some chat about writing novels, the new Lily Allen album, and whether King Charles is really that much better than the artist formerly known as Prince Andrew. Of course, we finish up with some Scummy Mummy Confessions - this time involving lube, shouting, and a drunken trip to Sainsbury's. Follow Emily on Instagram @pinkhouseliving, and look out for her novel in 2027. WE ARE ON TOUR! Bath this week, then Stamford, Catford, Twickenham, Chelmsford, Guildford, Norwich, plus a bunch more shows that are already SOLD OUT!
