19. Anger

How do we best deal with our anger? What forms can it take? Is 'hanger' an actual thing? Join Mae, Ned, Steve and special guest Alison Spittle (sitting in for Bisha) as they wrap their cool, calm heads around all this. This week, Mae hits a pillow with a baseball bat, Alison investigates why anger is the most tweeted emotion and Ned's been getting to grips with wrestling. As always, Steve Ali puts everything into perspective with tales of the Calais Jungle refugee camp.

"Now I’m a grown up… do I have to get married? Do I have to scrimp and save?? Do I have to host a dinner party??? GrownUpLand poses the most frustrating questions. Luckily, Sophie Duker, Heidi Regan and Ned Sedgwick are here to guide you through the bewildering pursuit of adulthood.
 
Through stupid challenges, useful facts and personal stories of rich victory and miserable failure, your guides will ensure you don’t feel alone in your hopeless endeavour to be a legit grown up. Plus, every week a special guest candidly shares their experiences, from failed dates and drunken mistakes to moments of clarity and pet hates. And the very handsome Steve Ali, a refugee from Syria now a writer and silversmith in the UK, helps to put a listener’s dilemma into perspective.
