Childcare debt, Big boobs, Succession

As figures show more than a third of parents are using debt to pay for childcare, Nuala will be meeting two women who&rsquo;ve gone deep into the red to pay nursery fees in order to maintain a career and discussing whether the financial risk has been worth it.<br /> <br /> The government has announced that it is set to close what it calls an &lsquo;unacceptable&rsquo; loophole which allows e-cigarettes to be given to teenagers - a ban on nicotine free products to under 18s is also being considered. Research by NHS Digital shows that one in five 15-year-old girls use electronic cigarettes, which is 7% higher than boys of the same age. Nuala is joined by Linda Bauld, Professor of Public Health at Edinburgh University as well as Leanne McGuire, the mother of a teenager who was addicted to vaping at 15 and Rob Pavey, the Headteacher at a secondary school in Oxford to discuss.<br /> <br /> Writer and Podcaster Jackie Adedeji speaks to Nuala about her new Channel 4 documentary UNTOLD: My Big Boobs, a look into the impacts of having big boobs and the rise in breast reduction surgery. Sarah Ditum also joins to discuss the cultural trends of breasts through the years.<br /> <br /> Succession has ended after four dramatic seasons. It has been called &lsquo;the greatest TV show ever made.&rsquo; The satirical dark comedy-drama about power, politics and a family dynasty followed the highly dysfunctional Roy family. The show might be a fantastic snapshot into the lives of the top 1% but it has also produced some incredible female characters. Nuala hears more about the women in Succession from comedian Sara Barron, who co-hosts Firecrotch and Normcore: a Succession Podcast, and Journalist Laura Martin.<br /> <br /> Presenter: Nuala McGovern<br /> Producer: Emma Pearce
