    'Joy' screenwriters Rachel Mason and Jack Thorne
    Nov 22 2024

    Surprise! We're here on a Friday to give you a little something extra: an interview with the screenwriters of the new Netflix movie Joy, which comes out today, starring Thomasin McKenzie, James Norton and Bill Nighy, about Jean Purdy, Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe, the creators of IVF.


    Rachel Mason and Jack Thorne tell us about how their own experiences of IVF informed the narrative of the movie, why it was important to centre the story on Purdy, and which of the stars is the most beautiful cryer.

    Last time we spoke to the author, adventurer and arts producer Jessica Hepburn was way back in 2019, when we talked about how she swam the English channel. Now she's back, to talk about her climb up Mount Everest - and why she listened to the entire back catalogue of Desert Island Discs while she did it.


    Meanwhile, Professor Tim is talking sperm cups: do they work?

Just what I needed

For anyone on a TTC journey, this is a podcast you need to start listening too. It’s lighthearted, informative and very relatable. It’s like listening to two of my best friends discuss all the thoughts inside my head. You are not alone!
