Don't Touch It

Caroline and Kyle are back together in America - and on this episode of Don't Touch It, they're catching up and getting into some of the biggest debates in parenting, relationships and everyday life. From why Halloween is so much bigger in the US (and why Caroline isn't convinced Thanksgiving deserves the hype) to the things they miss about British life, the pair compare the two sides of the Atlantic! They also tackle a question every parent eventually faces: when is it actually okay to let your kids go off on their own? Should an eight-year-old be allowed an hour at home? Are we raising a generation of overprotected children? And who gets the final say when parents disagree on discipline? Plus, Caroline and Kyle get honest about relationship arguments, why sometimes you just need to let your partner have a moan, and a rather unexpected debate about how many times you should need to pee after holding it in.

Caroline is taking the podcast on the road – all the way to America – and bringing along her best friend Helen for a very special catch-up! On this episode of Don't Touch It, we're filming live from Helen's bed during their annual Halloween camping trip as the pair get into everything from the competitive world of campsite golf cart decorating (yes, it's as serious as it sounds) to the very unconventional way they first became friends. There's a game of hypothetical questions, some questionable driving accusations and a few confessions that probably should have stayed between friends! Plus, Caroline and Helen compare life in the UK and US - discussing everything from American school lunches and the bizarre carpool culture to tipping, drive-through ATMs and why it's seemingly impossible to walk anywhere in America.

On this week’s episode of Don’t Touch It, I’m joined by broadcaster, DJ and Sunday Times bestselling author Ashley James 🤍 We go into detail about her new book Bimbo and the conversations it opens up around internalised misogyny and how we can unpick it in everyday life. Ashley also shares her thoughts on how the patriarchy impacts on not just women, but men too, and why these patterns show up in the way we think, behave and relate to each other. We also get into the cost of childcare questioning why its so expensive and the effect that has on families, as well as a chat about sex in long-term relationships and how that evolves over time. This is a really open, thought-provoking conversation that touches on so many important and often unspoken topics.

On this week’s episode I was joined by the lovely Toby and Mikey!! As a disclaimer this was filmed in April and as we all know mental health can change but this was a really open and unfiltered conversation. We talk about mental health and living with an ADHD diagnosis, including the reality of finding the right medication and how much that can affect day to day life. We get into relationships from dating an older guy, and what it was like feeling the need to pretend to be straight. Mikey also speaks about his experience with having a stroke and we finish things off with a chat on the side of being online that people don’t tend to see, like feeling lost, questioning what you’re doing, and whether any of it actually means anything.
