    S1, E3: Natalie Lue, author of The Joy of Saying No
    2025/08/15
    People-pleasing. Burnout. Boundaries that keep getting crossed. This week, Esme and Kareem sit down with author, artist, and boundary-whisperer Natalie Lue (The Joy of Saying No) for a candid, funny, and deeply moving conversation about reclaiming your time, energy, and self-respect. Natalie shares how blogging transformed her life, the surprising health diagnosis that proved the power of listening to her gut, and why “no” isn’t selfish — it’s survival. Expect book talk (from comfort reads to transformative non-fiction), self-publishing secrets, and straight-talking advice on living authentically without apology.

    Writer, romantic, and reluctant TikTok star — Lucas Oakeley joins us this week to talk fiction, masculinity, and why books are the best way to challenge everything you think you know.


    Lucas has written for everyone from Vogue and The Guardian to Eater and GQ, but it’s his TikTok book reviews and men’s book club that made him a surprise internet sensation. Now he’s making his authorial debut with Nearly Departed — a ghostly, sharp, and heartfelt rom-com about grief, love, and cement trucks (yes, really). It’s out next week and we are obsessed.


    In this episode, we talk about why men need more fiction in their lives, the limits of TikTok self-help and the power of slowing down with books, masculinity and emotions, and what happens when men get together just to talk. We also dive into how Lucas built a modern rom-com that subverts and embraces the genre at once, why Virginia Woolf and The Great Gatsby still hit, and what it really takes to get a novel published.


    Lucas is charming, thoughtful, and hilariously self-deprecating — and this one’s packed with big ideas, smart takes, and brilliant book chat.

    In this brilliant debut episode of What Are You Reading Now?, Esme and Kareem are joined by writer, journalist, and sex worker activist Frankie Miren, author of The Service and Morbid Obsessions. From tarot readings and rescue goats to book obsessions and feminist manifestos, nothing is off the table.


    Frankie opens up about her deeply personal journey through reading and writing, how sex work and activism shaped her debut novel, and the reality of publishing a book at 50. The trio discuss the politics of sex work, the fight for decriminalisation, and the power of writing as resistance.


    Plus, discover the books that shaped Frankie’s life, the surprising comfort of AI-sounding Kindle reads, and why she hasn’t dared crack open her own novel since publishing it.


    If you’ve ever wanted to eavesdrop on three brilliant minds talking books, feminism, creativity and radical self-expression—this is the episode for you.
