Why is the naked body of a life model more respected than a glamour model? Why has there been a resurgence in virtue policing? And why was Kate completely naked during the interview with today’s guest?!

You can find out more about Victoria’s book here.


Produced by Charlotte Long. Mixed by Stuart Beckwith.
