Queue jumping at the pearly gates (with Johnny Mercer)
2026/10/21
Jane and Fi are mostly in agreement today – will wonders never cease! They agree on Rod Stewart’s back catalogue, the buffet rules in heaven, what a bugger it would be to own a harp, and metric vs imperial! But please feel free to correct them on any of these matters... And Johnny Mercer – army captain turned MP and then veterans minister (twice) – discusses his book 'No Way to Run a Country'.

Just popping out for surgical spirit and a vibrator...
2026/10/20
Welcome to Tuesday. The winding Off Air river continues to meander into your ears. Today, Jane and Fi navigate the waters of deceit in politics and reliable parenting, sail past French protests and sex toys, make a brief detour to Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, before arriving at the poignant shores of Greenham Common. Quite the journey. There's no guest today so enjoy the ride!

Fi is powering through, this time with not-ill-yet producer Rosie. They chat right wing dogs, living the high life in the C-suite, and launching a radio station in a pandemic (we don't recommend it).

Begins with a T and rhymes with cat
2026/10/05
Fi is back, and right now, where there is Fi, there is her cough. We advise listening at a distance. Jane is still in Liverpool with her family, so Eve sits in.

Plus, Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times, bursts into the studio to share his book picks. Robbie recommends 'The End of Everything' by M. John Harrison, 'Dodge City' by Patrick deWitt, and 'Hotel Exile' by Jane Rogoyska.

Just here for the fizz and the snacks (with Matthew Sweet)
2026/09/29
Fi's got a cough, which she thinks she got from Eve, who thinks she got it from Jane. It's a cough train – the worst kind. Bear with us...

Plus, journalist Matthew Sweet discusses his new book 'The Great Dictator: A Life of Barbara Cartland'.
