Episode Details

We have been living in the age of diagnosis. But are we about to enter a new era - one of de–diagnosis, where we can give some of our pathologies back? We discuss a new book that's changing the way we see what's wrong with us.

Plus, we have some recommendations including a rashie (yes you read that right) and two fabulous new memoirs about an It Girl and a magazine mogul.

And, a Nicole test, a bingle and multiple viewings of a questionable film, plus Jessie's car disaster. It’s Best and Worst.
