đŁ We have some exciting announcements! đŁ
Weâre thrilled to reveal that Nuala McGovern @bbcnuala will be the new presenter of BBC Radio 4âs Womanâs Hour!đđ„ł
Nuala will present Womanâs Hour on Monday-Wednesday each week on @bbcradio4 and @bbcsounds đ§
She joins Anita Rani @itsanitarani who will now present the Thursday as well as Friday and Saturday editions of the programme! đ»đđ§
Nuala, who is currently one of the leading presenters on the BBC World Service, is already a much-loved voice for Womanâs Hour listeners, having previously hosted the programme in 2023 to cover Emma Barnettâs maternity leave.
Hereâs Nuala: âTo be chosen as the next presenter of Womanâs Hour fills me with joy. It is a real privilege to present this extraordinary programme. Iâm looking forward to working with the superb Womanâs Hour team on the rigorous journalism expected on womenâs issues but also making time for escapism and fun. Iâm especially looking forward to getting back to the Womanâs Hour listeners, I have missed them.â
Â
And Anita wanted us to share this message: âIâm thrilled that Nuala is joining Team Womanâs Hour. Sheâs a brilliant broadcaster â and it really is the best gig in radio. Like our listeners, I love hearing Nuala when Iâm not presenting. What a tag team we will be - time to take Womanâs Hour to the next level!â
We canât wait to welcome Nuala to the Womanâs Hour presenting team from Monday 13 May đïžđ

ââThere are thousands of children that have been harmed by this drug... How can we give up now when weâve come so far?â
Janet Williams and Emma Murphy live with epilepsy, and both have children affected by exposure to the anti-seizure medication sodium valproate.
Sodium valproate is an effective medication, but if taken during pregnancy it can have devastating consequences. Around one in nine babies will have a birth defect, and up to four children in every 10 may have problems with early childhood development.
Janet and Emma have searched for answers from the medical establishment for years and are the focus of a new BBC documentary, called Mums v Big Pharma, which is out now. đș
They joined @bbcnuala to share how theyâre supporting their children, and each other, and what theyâd like to see happen next.
âïžMedicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) told us: âWe have taken more stringent action on sodium valproate than any other regulator globally, acting in the best interests of patients. Regulatory decisions for all medicines are based on the scientific evidence available at the time. Todayâs regulatory frameworks are significantly different, with much stricter post-authorisation monitoring allowing for earlier identification and action on emerging safety issues.â
You can listen to the full episode @bbcsounds - itâs the Womanâs Hour episode from 9 November. đ§

âItâs not an easy thing to live with, but itâs a superpowerâ đȘ
#throwback. Multi-award winning singer-songwriter Annie Lennox joined @bbcnuala in 2025 and spoke about her ADHD diagnosis and how her curiosity has been her key to success.
@officialannielennox said that being neurodivergent can be a âsuperpowerâ, and that itâs got her to where she is today.
She credits it as one of the reasons she was able to bring out her book of photographs, Annie Lennox: Retrospective, at the age of 70 đžđ
đ What do you consider to be your âsuperpowerâ? Let us know in the comments below âŹïž

âShould yoga become an Olympic sport?â đ
For many, yoga is a practice rooted in mindfulness, for self-reflection and connecting with your body. But a growing movement wants to see Yogasana â a competitive form of yoga where participants hold poses that are judged and scored â recognised in the Olympics đ§ââïž
Earlier this year, the Indian government said that it would push for its inclusion in the Olympics, ahead of the countryâs bid to host the 2036 Games.
To dig deeper into this conversation, @bbcnuala was joined on Womanâs Hour by yoga teacher Divya Kohli @yogawithdivya and yogasana competitor Laura McDonald @postcardsfromlaurasville.
They were also joined by Suzanne Newcombe, Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies at the Open University. To listen in full, head to @bbcsounds â itâs the Womanâs Hour episode from 28 October đ§
So, what do YOU think? Should yoga become an Olympic sport? đ€ Share your thoughts in the comments đ

maybe my favourite story Iâve written this year?đȘâïž
weâre living in a moment where we can ask AI anything, where social media floods us with opinion at the click of a button, and to me, that makes the wisdom of other *real* women all the more important.
Consider this a revival of the village, the best dinner party youâve ever been to, the intergenerational friendships you cherish. 15 women, 15 pieces of real, lived wisdom.
Adored every conversation - thank you to all the brilliant women who contributed.
and of course my wonderful editor @allyyhead who gives me the platform to write these stories đ§âđ©°

âThe narrative around womenâs health, especially around childbirth, is that weâre all used to sufferingâ
Award-winning Scottish harpist and singer @rachelnewtonmusic joined @bbcnuala on Womanâs Hour this week and shared her experience of Pregnancy Associated Osteoporosis, a rare condition she was diagnosed with after having her daughter.
The physio treating her hadnât heard of the condition, but after enduring pain and being unable to care for her newborn daughter, a scan revealed she had broken several vertebrae in her spine. Sheâs lost three inches in height as a result.
Rachel told Nuala about her experience and shared why sheâs since become a patron of the Pregnancy Associated Osteoporosis charity to spread the word about this condition so few women are aware of.
Rachel is a member of the acclaimed @lwspellsongs collective. She was on the programme speaking about their latest album, In Thin Air, and accompanying UK tour.

âAll I can feel now is gratitudeâ
Cook and TV presenter Delia Smith @deliaonline joined @bbcnuala on Womanâs Hour and spoke about grieving the loss of her husband of 55 years.
Her husband, the journalist and writer Michael Wynn Jones, died just weeks ago, in September, aged 85.
Delia spoke to Nuala about adapting to life without her husband by her side, and whatâs helped her most through the difficult days since his death â the kindness of others.
She said that whilst we often feel thereâs a âbadnessâ in the world, sheâs been overwhelmed by the goodness and connection sheâs felt from others.

âAs the world gets more and more scary, warmth, kindness, values and community are increasingly importantâđ«
Helen Fielding, the creator of Bridget Jones, joined @bbcnuala on Tuesday to reflect on why, as we celebrate three decades of one of Britainâs most beloved fictional heroines, Gen Z women are finding comfort in her character.
@helenfielding thinks there are similarities between the pressures facing young women today and the themes of authenticity and messiness that made her novels so popular 30 years ago.
Helen also spoke about The Bridget Jones Prize, which sheâs just launched with the Newcastle-based charity New Writing North to showcase fresh, funny first-person writing. She told Nuala what she loves about northern humour, and why sheâs on the hunt for the next generation of comedy writers from the North of England.

âThe end goal is a fully fleshed out, fully realised, completely 3D person who resonates with peopleâ
BAFTA-nominated Ghosts star @LollyAdefope joined @bbcnuala on Womanâs Hour and shared why she thinks we still need to see more complex women of colour depicted on our screens.
She says that weâre still not seeing enough fully fleshed out, complicated and sometimes unlikable characters.
Lolly was on the programme to talk about returning to the role of Kitty, the endearingly innocent Georgian noblewoman in the film Ghosts: The Possession of Button House. Sheâs also making her West End debut as Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary!
