Nusrit Mehtab, Author Cathy Rentzenbrink, Olympian Hannah Mills

Hannah Mills is the most successful female sailor in Olympic history, having won medals at the London, Rio and Tokyo Olympic Games. Now she’s taking part in the Sail Grand Prix, and international sailing competition. Ahead of the finals this weekend, she joins Nuala to talk about the work going into making the sport more gender equitable.

Nusrit Mehtab spent 30 years serving in the Metropolitan police before resigning, citing her own mental health and the toxic culture as reasons. Now she’s written a memoir looking back on her career. She joins Nuala to talk about the more shocking revelations as well as what it was that kept her going.

Cathy Rentzenbrink is known for her non-fiction books – but now she’s written a second fiction novel – Ordinary Time. It tells the story of Ann, a reluctant vicar’s wife, and her grappling with ideas of marriage, duty and temptation. Cathy joins Nuala to tell us more.
