Synopsis

In Did I Say That Out Loud? Jane Garvey and Fi Glover offer a series of essays interspersed with the waspish asides for which they are beloved, with witty musings on their lives, from pet deaths and garden hose repairs to the gender pay gap and the trouble with HRT patches. Their book promises to take mid-life by its elasticated waist and give it a brisk going over with a stiff brush. At a time of constant uncertainty, what we all need is the wisdom and experience of two women who haven't got a clue what's happening either.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Jane Garvey has worked in broadcasting since 1987. She was the first voice on BBC Radio 5 Live when it opened and presented the station's award-winning Breakfast and Drive programmes with Peter Allen. In 2007 she moved not just to Radio 4, but to Woman's Hour - and discovered she'd have to prove herself all over again. Just as listeners began to adjust to her, she decided she better leave before it was too late. She credits Fortunately - the hit podcast she does with Fi Glover - with saving her sanity.

Fi Glover currently is the voice behind The Listening Project on BBC Radio 4, and My Perfect Country for the BBC World Service. She's worked at BBC Radio 5 Live for seven years, helming shows like Sunday Service, with Charlie Whelan and Andrew Pierce, Late Night Live, and the Afternoon Show, before moving to BBC Radio 4 as the host of Broadcasting House. Fi and is the founder of Sound Women, a lobby group that campaigns for parity in the broadcasting industry. She now 'chunters waspishly along' with fellow host Jane Garvey about fellow BBC talent and their own lives on Fortunately

Their shared BBC Sounds podcast, Fortunately, which won the Comedy Show of the Year at the Arias in 2018, a silver Spotlight Award, has been downloaded nearly 4.5 million times in 2020 alone, and was one of BBC Sounds Top 5 most listened to podcasts during lockdown, when we all needed a vital dose of sensible small talk to help us stay sane.
