with Lauren and Shanequa

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris discuss the things you hate but secretly love.

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris discuss the things you hate but secretly love. Maybe it's the films that have aged terribly but you’ll still watch if they’re on TV halfway through. The songs you claim are awful but somehow know every word to. The reality shows that rot your brain in real time… yet you’re fully seated every week.

Plus we explore what it means to be intentionally single, from focusing on personal growth to breaking away from societal pressure to always be in a relationship. We’ll be joined by online dating connoisseur Oloni, and from listeners who’ve made the choice themselves. Whether you’re happily single, questioning your relationship status or just curious, we’ll be unpacking the benefits, challenges and everything in between.

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
