Anger is the one emotion that women aren’t allowed to express. Meanwhile, everything is making us furious. This podcast is about getting women's anger into everyday conversation, and lifting the lid on what we’re all feeling.
Each week, psychotherapist Jennifer Cox and actress and writer Salima Saxton invite a brilliant woman to talk about what makes them mad. Salima and Jennifer believe when it comes to anger, ‘better out than in’, and instead of repressing this emotion we should welcome it as a fuel for female-kind. With the Women Are Mad podcast, women finally have a place to bring this uncomfortable emotion. It’s a space to laugh about anger and to learn from it, but definitely not ignore it.
Follow us on @womenaremad on instagram and tell us what makes you mad.
Jen's book, Women Are Angry: Why Your Rage Is Hiding And How To Let It Out is AVAILABLE NOW! Published by Bonnier and available from all booksellers.

Laila Rouass on celebrity, values and domestic dynamics,
From Footballers Wives to Walford, Laila Rouass is a stalwart of British screens. We ask how she navigates emotion behind the tabloids flashbulb, and get the lowdown on steering a family through the minefield of celebrity.
Rouass is warm and witty and beautiful on the inside. As well as on the outside. Which, never fear, we do interrogate!

SUMMER SPECIAL: Dear WAM with Salima and Jen
As promised, we've finally got the WAM Agony Aunt service off the ground. Kicking off with a listener's dilemma: namely, constantly comparing herself to others.
Tune in if this feels familiar. Or even if it doesn't. Maybe you'll just feel smug and very evolved. Either way, it's win-win!

Viv Groskop on confidence, cold soup and creativity-crushing capitalism.
We were so excited to talk to Viv Groskop. To chat with Viv is to speak to an oracle of wit and wisdom. From her writing to her stand up; to her own podcasting prowess, this is the woman whose six books have taught us everything from sitting happily in high status to coming of age in the former USSR. This conversation absolutely delivers on everything you expect from the Queen of Communication. We think you're going to love it.

Nell Hudson on sexual staring, grey areas and feeling her power.
Nell Hudson: actor, writer, jazz singer, feminist.
You've loved watching her in Outlander, Victoria and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You've loved listening to her at Ronnie Scott's and on tour with Jools Holland. You've adored her writing in Just For Today. Now you can enjoy her mini seminar on what makes her furious. Nell is truly the voice of her generation, on everything from the pleasure gap to sexual staring, to men pretending they fancy her dog when they actually fancy her.
Her points are compellingly articulate and productive. And we want more more more.

Jameela Jamil on cancel culture, the beauty standard and (never) dumbing down.
Jameela Jamil is goddess category, and laughs at us for saying so. This denial of her charm is precisely what we mean. Her refusal to be perfect, and fearlessness about owning that, is what we love her for the most. From her star turns in The Good Place to She-Hulk, to her feminist activism and powerful work with I Weigh, we applaud her. She's somehow a sort of divine hybrid of Taylor Swift, Gloria Steinem and Beyonce. Flaws and all.
