  • Alison Mau on helping survivors find a way forward
    Oct 23 2026

    Alison Mau joins Francesca Rudkin and Louise Ayrey to discuss Tika, the independent sexual harm reporting platform she co-founded with Zoë Lawton.

She also shares the personal significance of discovering she wasn’t alone, and offers advice on responding when someone discloses harm.

    This episode discusses sexual harm.

  • Why are we so obsessed with smutty books and TV shows?
    Sep 25 2026

    Why are erotic books and TV shows having a moment? And is our appetite for them really new?

    On this episode of The Little Things, Francesca Rudkin and Louise Ayrey talk to author and sex historian Dr Esmé Louise James about the history of erotic fiction, from Fanny Hill to today’s romantasy boom. They discuss the appeal of shows such as Heated Rivalry and Bridgerton, the shame that has surrounded women’s reading choices, and whether exploring desire on the page can help us understand ourselves and communicate with a partner.

    James is the creator of Kinky History and author of Becoming Venus.
