Rachel Johnson's Difficult Women
GlobalWell-behaved women rarely make history – as someone once said – difficult women do. In this new LBC new podcast, Rachel Johnson's Difficult Women, Rachel will be talking to women who had to be a pain in the backside to get where they are today.

- A Man’s Must Listen
I came across this podcast and it has made me think so much more about how difficult it can be as a woman in life. Some of the stories are so brilliant and sometimes I am shocked at what I hear. My favourite podcast at present. Thank you for this.

This podcast does nothing to help women and anyone who dedicates an episode to India Hicks is no friend to other women.

Unfortunately Bonnie Greer has no grasp on English culture at all & hence talks rubbish.
Apple Podcasts1SixsmithridesagainUnited Kingdoma year ago - Vanessa Felt Episode
Absolutely loved this conversation. I think - no disrespect Vanessa, as you clearly worshipped them - that you’re parents were nuts for not being constantly charmed and delighted with you on every level! I cannot imagine thinking that my daughters were ‘less than or not enough’. Perhaps it was some insecurity of your parents own that led them to making you feel you were ‘not enough’. Clearly you have risen above in your journey as a parent. I have always enjoyed immensely how erudite you are ... more
Apple Podcasts5HebebengUnited Kingdoma year ago - Terrible interview skills
Rachel's interview skills are shockingly poor. She fails to listen to her guests who know much more about themselves and their area of expertise than Rachel does. She does not seem to be be able to frame a simple question. Rather she interviews by putting statements to guests which are often inaccurate, or highlight a lack of preparation or betray her own poorly constructed opinions, assumptions and biases. What a missed opportunity for listeners to hear from of some incredible and fascinating g... more
