To launch this brand new season, Rosie investigates and
celebrates singledom. She speaks to Scummy Mummies podcaster Helen
Thorn, who found herself suddenly single after twenty-two years of
marriage just as the U.K. went into lockdown. Helen entered a sort
of ‘separation boot camp’, filled with sad songs and sneaky fags at
the back of the garden, in the absence of being able to hug
friends. But she revelled in the liberation of reclaiming the
house, spending quality time with her children and discovering, via
online flirting and dating, that her sex drive had suddenly gone
through the roof. Rosie also chats to author and podcaster
Francesca Specter, who has coined the word Alonement in order to
reclaim solo time as a joyful and precious thing a million miles
away from loneliness, and to happily long-term singleton comedian
Juliet Meyers.
