In this episode, Clare and Aileen turn their attention to what they describe as the primary relationship - the relationship we have with ourselves - and why it is so often the one we neglect, misunderstand or actively sideline.

Modern motherhood can feel overwhelming. The advice is endless, the expectations are high, and the pressure to get everything right can quietly erode confidence and wellbeing. This episode of Yorkshire Talks offers something many parents rarely get. Permission to breathe. Matt Jameson and Christine Talbot are joined by Claire Warren, the award-winning creator behind My Kinda Mum. With more than half a million followers across Instagram and Facebook, Claire has built a community around honest, funny and deeply relatable reflections on parenting. Not the polished version. The real one. This conversation is warm, candid and reassuring. It explores motherhood as it is actually lived, messy, joyful, exhausting and often full of self doubt.

Ivermectin is a medicine with a long and respected history. It has been used for decades to treat specific parasitic infections and, when prescribed correctly, it remains an effective and important drug. In recent years, however, ivermectin has also become the focus of widespread online claims suggesting it can treat viral infections, cure cancer, or prevent and treat COVID-19. These claims are often shared confidently and repeatedly. Some are supported by personal testimonies, others by references to scientific studies that appear convincing at first glance. But when the evidence is examined properly, those claims do not stand up. Understanding why requires stepping back from headlines and looking carefully at how ivermectin works and how medical evidence is established.

Some conversations remind us why healthcare is, at its heart, about people. This episode of Yorkshire Talks does exactly that. Matt Jameson and Christine Talbot are joined by Dr Amir Khan, the GP millions recognise from ITV. Warm, approachable and endlessly reassuring on screen, Amir is just as thoughtful and engaging away from the cameras. What unfolds is a funny, honest and deeply human conversation about medicine, identity, kindness and what it really means to care for others.

Holidays, thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays - those special, wonderful moments we dream of. But if you’ve ever walked away from a Christmas dinner or a family holiday wondering what on earth went wrong - this podcast is for you.
