Join host Jade Scott as she journeys through the messier aspects of the human experience in this audio mixtape contemplating the complexities of real life.
Rethinking Home
Do you ever think about sliding doors? About where you might be if you made one decision instead of another? Our lives offer so many choices and in the final episode in the series, Jade is in conversation with black brits making big decisions about where they want to be. She wonders which environments make us feel nurtured and rooted when our identities are intersectional and what conditions support us to feel fulfilled.

Still Swiping?
Tinder has been with us for ten years - and since its launch over a decade ago, dating apps have completely reconfigured how we seek love and organise our romantic lives. Has technology brought us closer together or further apart, and is it easier to find love now than it was for our parents and their parents? Jade is in conversation with three women with unique dating stories, as she contemplates ideas on intimacy and connection in the digital age.

J is for Joy
After existing in the energy of survival for way too long, Jade Scott is in the pursuit of pleasure. In a culture that calls on us to divert our energy and resources away from ourselves, she meets three women in their happy places, as she considers the virtues of creating space for pleasure.
She joins Addie, a vintage-fashion enthusiast, in Nottingham, as they explore dopamine dressing and the art of seizing the day through thrifted fashion. She also meets Dre, a London-based gardener passionate about the potentiality of seeds, and Kadija, an alt-soul singer who found roller skating at a time when many of us were trying to keep sane.

No Man is an Island
What do the words ‘gone too soon’ mean to you?
For Jade Scott these words are haunting and evoke memories of her father and a generation of black men who, like him, met their deaths prematurely. More than a decade on from his passing Jade speaks to black men about their interior lives. She asks where are the spaces for black men to experience love and care in community - while black fathers reflect on grief and loss in a culture that requires the giving of the body for the survival of the family.

What the body remembers...
What the body remembers...
If every body has a biography, how does yours read?
Why are bodies so difficult to live inside and what can bodies in distress teach us about how to live? Inspired by a battle with burnout, Jade Scott reflects on the body – our first home – the place where we perceive and sense the world and experience the height of our pleasure and pain. She speaks to artists and dancers about the vulnerabilities of the body and the possibilities that movement can unlock in the journey back to ourselves after difficult experiences.

Introducing The Reset
Life is for living, but the living isn’t easy. We’re constantly bombarded with messages about happiness and success - but in the modern world these feelings can be elusive..
Between paying bills, negotiating the demands of our work lives, managing our homes and showing up for the people we love, adulting can feel like constantly striving.. and failing to meet an endless list of competing priorities and desires - with little space for ourselves.
Join Jade Scott, a journalist in her early thirties in transition, as she speaks to guests about the complications of adulting that we don’t often name. Take a voyage into memory, sound and feeling, as we bear witness to the stories we carry inside of us --- the moments that have shaped us -- the pieces of our lives that may be messy, but make us beautifully human..
