Your close friend is doing a bad job at disguising his baldness – people are noticing and making cruel comments… what should you do? You know your relationship is over but, if you leave, your partner’s life might fall apart… what should you do? You’ve been asked to a party and the hosts are now asking you to help pay for it… what should you do? Modern dilemmas tackled with wisdom, grace and trademark good humour by Marian and Tara. All this and... is Marian declaring herself to be running for political office?

Marian Keyes is a multi award-winning writer, with a total of over 30 million copies 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 your biggest - and smallest - of the things that keep us awake at night.

Previous series 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)

Recorded in Dublin with emails received from listeners around the world, the hosts invite you to pull up a chair at their virtual kitchen table as they read and digest their inbox.
