Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband & Geoff Lloyd
News:Politics
Happy 6th birthday to us! And just like a young child who hasn’t learned a sense of self-restraint we’re reaching for the Ferrero Rocher with restaurant critic Grace Dent. Join us for a conversation about comfort eating, the title of her podcast and new book. What do we eat when nobody else is watching? And why are some foods so steeped in nostalgia?
PLUS: Geoff and Ed reminisce about the past 6 years and Ed has been checking out a new band
We’ll be back with another episode next Monday, but keep your ideas and suggestions coming in. Get in touch with us via our website or on our social media. We love to hear from you!

Grace Dent, columnist, broadcaster and author (@gracedent)
