Ahead of COP26, I talk to the Chief Executive of Oxfam GB, Danny Sriskandarajah.

This week I talk to the super cool, stylish and passionate second hand shopper, Miquita Oliver. I think she loves a charity shop more than me - I also love they way she talks about them.

My guest this week is the super cool and stylish actress and director Jemima Kirk.

Delighted to speak this week to the one and only Charlotte Tilbury MBE. Entrepreneur, Trailblazing original who has always loved her vintage finds.

My guest this week I’d Jaime Perlman - Jaime is creative director and founder of the worlds most glamorous sustainable glossy! More Or Less Magazine. I talk to Jaimie about her journey from Vogue being creative director of vogue,  to launching her own mag.

Delighted to speak this week to the gifted singer and songwriter, Corinne Bailey Rae - Corinne has always loved clothes and I loved hearing her style stories from Leeds and beyond…

This week my guest is the leader of the Green Party, Sian Berry. This is someone who sure knows what she is talking  about when it comes to sustainability - and I am full of admiration for her - she felt compelled to do something and so she did! Loved talking to Sian, and hearing about her stories around clothes but also about what she would change if the Green Party came into power.

This week is the fabulous  singer/songwriter, Sophie Ellis Bextor - a style original. As expected!

This weeks’ guest is the brilliant Oscar winning actress Rachel Weisz; not just a super gifted actress, but also a devoted thrifter and fan of second hand.

In this week’s podcast Bay speaks to the super stylish and talented singer and songwriter Paloma Faith. Paloma is brilliantly honest about her relationship and her memories around clothes; not to mention funny, touching and down to earth. Hats off Paloma!  - and remember: keep thrifting!

In this week’s podcast, Bay speaks to the sustainable activist, Aja Barber. Aja, is the real deal - searingly honest and willing to speak out and hold brands accountable - she is a trailblazing voice in sustainable fashion. Enjoy! And keep thrifting! 

Emma Forrest,  screenwriter, author, film director, talks to Bay about the imagery and characters associated with clothing over the decades, with a focus on film icons including Marilyn Monroe, Cher, Christina Ricci, Joan Crawford and Liz Taylor. Old friends, they remember "shop dropping" - so naughty - and get under the skin of what makes these actresses timeless style icons. Bay also goes on a thrift mission for Emma!

Jake recounts his earliest memories of knowing he had been born into the wrong body, navigating puberty, family and sexuality through to finding the courage and clarity to become who he really is. Jake's story is one that has elements all of us can relate to, but the complexity and challenges are ones most of us can't imagine, but can certainly learn from. Jake talks about the expectations of him when he was a little girl, dressed in pink, through to his relationship with clothes today, with some memories that are both touching and harrowing. We're honoured he dropped by for a chat, as a new dad and busy film-maker and activist, and hope you get as much out of this episode as we did. 

Emeli is a bunch of incredibly impressive contradictions. A scientist who's supremely artistic and musically talented. Humble and likeable yet intimidatingly accomplished. Bay tries not to be overwhelmed by Emeli's achievements and the fact she received her MBE aged 30, and uncovers how she's used clothes to find out who she really is, what it was like growing up as a mixed race girl in Scotland, her transition from science to singing and songwriting, and how it felt to be part of the 2012 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony. You go, Emeli. And remember everyone, keep thrifting! 

Landing in Hollywood at the age of nine, to star in major blockbusters like Addams Family and Mermaids alongside veterans like Cher and starlet of the day Winona Ryder was no mean feat. Christina Ricci drops by to tell Bay how it felt navigating that at such a tender age, and how she found some elements of Hollywood "so high school". Figuring out who she really was and staying true to that has meant she's one of the most unique, intelligent voices we have today, and a wonderfully cool, unpretentious and fun person to talk to. We loved our time with Christina, we hope you do too! 

Bay talks to Hadley Freeman of the Guardian and gets some juicy inside intel. Who knew Victoria Beckham is a massive thrifter? And Pretty in Pink's cast wore their own clothes! They also discuss how fashion has changed from OTT icebergs in Paris to how things are much more conscious today, and her rebellious streak when writing about fashion, getting her banned from several shows. We love Hadley!
