Intro

So. Everyone says your fiancée cheated on you with a big-wig politician (or two). After you break up, you're sitting on a whole lot of juicy, icky, sexy detail from messages and emails that you KNOW the world is going to be into. Do you release them? Well, of course you do. And welcome to the sex scandal that's consuming America right now - the Olivia Nuzzi affair. So, do YOU want to hear all about it? 

Also, what do real-life witches think of Wicked, For Good? 

And, women have never been hornier. At least, that's what our obsession with internet boyfriends, smutty books and libido-boosting supplements tells us. So Em, Holly and Jessie discuss: Is it power, or pressure? 

Plus, recommendations and Em's F1 obsession.
