It’s a jam-packed Thursday: there are parish notices; an idea for a new podcast format steam-rolled by a book club announcement; a reflection on the lasting impact of the whoopee cushion; a call for respect for farts in yoga; and a moment of real self-indulgence... enjoy!

Plus, Carol Vorderman reflects on her career and discusses the perks of mid-life.

Our next book club pick is 'A Town Like Alice' by Nevil Shute.

Our most asked about book is called 'The Later Years' by Peter Thornton.
