The Voice Notes Problem

This week: Do you feel hanker after a more creative live than the one you're living? What should you do when an elderly parent insists on discussing death, when you'd rather not? And voice notes - are they a blessing or a curse?

Each week Marian and Tara do their best to shed their particular brand of warmth, wit and wisdom onto listeners questions with topics big and small.

Earlier series of Now You're Asking were welcomed by listeners and critics: "Both are warm and kind enough to not only be funny but also offer genuinely thoughtful, if left-field, advice." (Miranda Sawyer, The Observer) "Keyes and Flynn are my new favourite double-act." (Jane Anderson - Radio Times) "I found their compassion endlessly soothing." (Rachel Cunliffe - The New Statesman)

Marian Keyes is a multi award-winning writer, with a total of over 30 million of her books sold to date in 33 languages. Her close friend Tara Flynn is an actress, comedian and writer. Together, these two friends have been through a lot, and now want to use their considerable life experience to help solve the biggest - and smallest - of the things that keep us awake at night.

We have been inundated with emails since the last series but everything gets read and we're always on the lookout for new questions, queries and conundrums to include on the show.
