Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Donna Ashworth | The Art of Being Easily Pleased
Q: How do you find pleasure?
Ashworth says she retrained her habitual overthinking by setting an intention to notice joy and wonder. She describes using the reticular activating system as a filter, and recommends repeatedly asking what is beautiful or kind in the present moment.
Donna Ashworth | The Art of Being Easily Pleased
Q: What's it mean being easily pleased? How did you get this title?
Ashworth says her sister used the phrase, and she came to see being easily pleased as a strength rather than an insult. She argues that people can choose to seek joy and contentment instead of constantly striving out of fear of not being good enough.
Cally Beaton | Midlife Reinvention, Stand-Up & Making the Edit
Q: How do you cope with brain fog?
Beaton says she still experiences brain fog offstage but finds it has improved. Adrenaline and audience interaction help her think quickly while performing, and she builds her show through repeated work-in-progress performances rather than relying on a simple memory trick.
Cally Beaton | Midlife Reinvention, Stand-Up & Making the Edit
Q: Can you talk us through where you started at MTV and onwards?
Beaton describes studying drama, moving into television production, working at MTV and later running a production company that was bought by ITV. She became the youngest and only female member of the ITV board, then held senior roles in television and film before starting stand-up.
Louise Candlish | A Knock At The Door
Q: How did you navigate the timeline and push the DNA testing out?
Candlish built in about ten working days, the typical processing time she had researched. The parents also delay testing because they want to experience a period of renewed closeness with the young woman before involving the police and reality.
