About this listen

Paloma Faith has had plenty of moments in her life when she's felt mad, sad or bad - or been told that's what she's being. But do these words mean the same for everyone? What does it mean if someone says you're mad: that you're angry? Unstable? Insane? Or perhaps just different... Could those words be liberating, therapeutic or even transformational?


To find out more, Paloma invites an array of actors, comedians, musicians and thinkers into her home to reflect on times where they've felt mad, sad, bad - and even glad - what they've understood and learnt from these experiences too.


This podcast takes us into Paloma's world, with friends and family popping in occasionally - come for the chaos; stay for the conversation!

  • Munroe Bergdorf: Trans Women Are Not A Threat
    Jun 23 2025

    I have always admired Munroe Bergdorf and love putting the world to rights with her when everything feels like it’s going up in flames around us. I wish there were more people like her in the world!


    Munroe opens up about the dangers of apathy, how she’s staying hopeful, the impact that current world politics are having on the trans community and the importance of both speaking up AND speaking out. We also chat about perfectionism, her new book and her relationship with her Mum – plus, my Mum joins us too!


    I adored speaking to Munroe – she gives me so much hope during tricky times – but I’m slightly worried she’s going to be better friends with my Mum than me now...


    Hope you all enjoy this episode x

  • Ruby Wax: I Wish I'd Had More Boyfriends
    Jun 16 2025

    People have always likened me to Ruby Wax - I suppose because she says it like it is and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. For those exact reasons I couldn’t wait to have her over, and let her loose in my house…


    Ruby is a world-class interviewer, from smashing up a hotel room with Jim Carey, being attacked with a banana by OJ Simpson, to getting kicked off Donald Trump’s private jet - she’s done it all! She’s also spoken openly about her depression, earning an OBE for her services to mental health. We spoke about how she always thinks the worst of people and the sadness of unrequited love.


    I loved having Ruby over but I would quite like my hat back!!

  • Vogue Williams: I Ran Away From My Grief and Got Married
    Jun 9 2025

    Vogue Williams is a queen of podcasts; she's a mother with a great sense of humour and is incredibly beautiful. She's also recently released her first book - honestly, the comparisons between us are too numerous to mention.


    Vogue opened up about her fear of death and how losing her dad sent her into a spiral of being wild and reckless. She shared the story of the worst thing she's ever done - it involves stealing, lying, and it made my jaw drop... We joked about posh people, and Vogue told me about the depths of her anxiety which can make her feel mad at times.


    I absolutely loved chatting to Vogue - we laughed from start to finish - even if my neighbour Nicky did try to sabotage the interview to talk about the bin collection!


    If you'd like to read Vogue's new book, Big Mouth you can find it here: www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Mouth-hilarious-heartwarming-hyperactive/dp/0008743371


    And thanks to my neighbour, Nicky, for popping by - you can follow him on IG @nickyjohnstone
