She's a Rec'

In the season three finale Lauren is joined by BAFTA winning, Tracy Beaker starring, life advice giving Mia McKenna-Bruce!

She shares everything she can (aka very little) about the upcoming Beatles film, offers up a record amount of recommendations and delivers an answer to the age-old question; is it better to work with children or animals?

And as if that wasn't enough from the final guest of the season strap in for a brilliant account of how it feels to win a BAFTA, and a story about a sheep who thinks it's a goat. You're welcome. See you in series four.

Mia's recs are...
Wicked the musical - (Winnie Holzman)
Die On This Hill - (Sienna Spiro)
The vitamin B12 & dried mango - (life advice from Helena Bonham Carter)
3,2,1 - (album Lennon Stella)
The Fallout - (via the music of Lennon and Maisy Stellar)
Happy - Derren Brown (discovered via Fearne Cotton's Happy Place so it counts)

2. Sorry, Baby (Eva Victor)

This week Lauren is joined by a former MP you’d actually want to go for a pint with. At the age of 20 Mhairi Black became the youngest member of the UK’s House of Commons since 1832. At 25 she accidentally ignored Lauren's invites to be a guest on She's A Rec (twice).

Strap in for as they finally sit down for fascinating conversation straddling politics, birds of prey and famous sunken as Mhairi discusses her WILD time in Westminster, and why she’s now turned her attention to comedy and acting.

Mhairi’s recs are...

1. Nanette (Hannah Gadsby)
2. Celine Dion (just Celine Dion)
3. The Titanic

It's a Glaswegian love-in this week as we welcome musician, model and soon-to-be your favourite Scottish front woman Lucia Fairfull.

Lauren and Lucia take a nostalgic trip through the streets of Glasgow (via some pretty horrible Scottish phrases) to bring you an assortment of life choices and recommendations that is dripping in more Scottish heritage than a can of IRN-BRU wearing a kilt on Burns night.

Plus we hear about what it's like to be on the road with the likes of Wolf Alice and The Last Dinner Party, as well as discover Lucia's destiny of playing Cher on the big screen.

Lucia's Recs are...
Rec One: Sunwise (Brìghde Chaimbeul)
Rec Two: Hagtale (Sally O'Reilly)
Rec Three: Return (Katy J Pearson)
