This week we're bringing you our very first podcast recording, a chat we had with Elisa Roche back before we had ever picked up a microphone. Elisa is a chef-turned-writer, specialising in food and travel, and is now officially an honorary Gals FC member.

Elisa got her big break as one of the young chefs on the original Jamie's Kitchen TV series, where she was trained by Jamie Oliver. She says it was an experience that changed her life.

Our conversation covers the Jamie years, living in the Caribbean with a future super star magazine editor, and a controversial appearance at 10 Downing Street.

Hosts Lorne Magill and Nora Beqaj are best friends and co-founders of Gals FC, the football club that exists to give gals a good time. Find out more about our club and follow our journey to becoming the household name for non-competitive football on Instagram @gals.fc

This week we chatted with Sophie Lee, founder of B-corp Electric Peach, mental health advocate, fierce anti-racist and a lover of women who demand attention.

Our conversations covers her struggles with traditional schooling, dealing with a lot of anger with the world and embracing the unibrow. She left us feeling full of energy and we hope it will do the same for you.
