Actor and comedian, Emily Atack has decided to stand up against the men who cyber-flash her daily. Having received unsolicited, unwanted, abusive messages, dick pics and crude images for years she has made a documentary \\u201cEmily Atack: Asking for it?\\u201d for BBC 2. Emily joins Nuala to discuss why men do this and why she's chosen to speak about it publicly and call for change.

Baroness Catherine Ashton is a Labour peer who served as Europe\\u2019s most powerful diplomat between 2009-2014, a turbulent period by anyone\\u2019s standards. It was her job to co-ordinate and lead on the EU's response to international crises, including the Arab Spring, Somali pirate attacks, the Iran nuclear deal and the Ukraine uprising followed by Russia\\u2019s annexation of the Crimea. Behind the scenes and in front of the cameras she criss-crossed the globe trying to get lasting deals done. Catherine has documented all of this in a new book called And Then What? Inside Stories of 21st Century Diplomacy, and joins Nuala.

What comes to your mind when you think of the word 'hag'? The comedian and recent Taskmaster champion Sophie Duker is on a mission to reclaim the term in her new UK stand-up tour of the same name. She tells Nuala about growing up with \\u2018the princess myth\\u2019, embracing ageing and why it\\u2019s so important to be open about sex and sexuality.
