Asleep most of the time, or drunk.

This edition is one for all you sailors - ahoy! Jane and Fi chat ships and fruity cruises, lemon curd, memorial benches, and charismatic famous people.

Plus, Fi speaks to Rosie Maguire, Policy and Programmes Manager at the Centre for Thriving Places, and Clare Bracey, Director of Policy, Campaigns & Communications at Become, about what happens when private companies operate our care services.
