  • Adele Roberts and Kate Holderness
    Jun 19 2024

    Today on podDIVA , we are super-dooper #Proud to be dropping in on this hilarious, this gorgeous conversation between our amazing Pride month cover star Adele Roberts, her fabulous fiancé Kate Holderness and our divine editor-in-chief, the right royal Roxy Bourdillon.


    Be prepared to laugh along with these three old friends, to be inspired, to be deeply moved and perhaps, like me, to shed a tear too.


    Hear all about:


    • dealing with cancer and writing their book
    • that first date and the two decades of lesbian love that have followed
    • their challenges, grief and recovery



    Adele and Kate’s book is called Personal Best: From Rock Bottom to the Top of the World. And it is truly awesome. And just FYI – the "Audrey" that these three superstar women refer to is Adele’s stoma bag.

  • Lucia Kerskin
    May 8 2024

    Still riding high after Lesbian Visibility Week and the DIVA Awards, on this episode of podDIVA we are celebrating everyone's favourite deadpan comic - Lucia Kerskin.


    When Lucia posted a video to YouTube about failing her GCSEs back in 2017, it didn't seem like the obvious route into comedy.


    But seven years later, she's racked up nearly half a million followers on YouTube alone, and starred in the likes of Channel 4's Big Boys and Dave's Sneakerhead.


    Plus she's written and starred in her very own BBC show.


    In this episode, podDIVA's audiogram whizz-kid Ella Gauci chats to the awesome Lucia about


    • her latest BBC show Things You Should Have Done
    • failing her GCSEs
    • ... and Ronnie Mitchell from Eastenders
