In this In Conversation, Sarah and Mickey had a ruddy smashing time with Nigella Lawson, Samira Ahmed and Jodie Prenger, chatting about being a cat, the power of the BBC voice, laughing at funerals, combing cows, excellent letters to Newsround, how to talk buzzard and Roger Moore as God. This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Leicester Square Theatre in September.

And Nigella’s tour is over, but there’s still loads of good stuff over on her website.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
