  • Get bare-chested and have a cage fight like the rest of us!
    Jun 16 2026

    It's Tuesday, and there's some confusion over sausages... Jane and Fi chat AI therapy, the dangers of chest freezers, the consequences of a lie-in, A$AP Rocky's full name, and why Jane reckons she's unsuited to management.


    Plus, they speak to Megan Harwood-Baynes, senior money reporter at The Times and The Sunday Times, about investing and pensions.

  • His bottom is quite a well known footballing entity...
    Jun 15 2026

    It's Monday! Jane and Fi are casting looks of reverie, and lucky for you, we've got it all on camera: https://www.youtube.com/@OffAirWithJaneAndF


    Jane's been to some jazzy jazz, and Fi's been blasting Dua Lipa. They chat Austrian birth certificates, parrot farts, mini meat thermometers, and they don't discuss a man's botty! Plus, the results of the office sweepstake are in...


    Some recommendations from today's episode: the film 'My Favourite Cake', and the TV shows 'Peelers: The PSNI for Real' and 'Rooster'.

  • Ghost Mountain: part one - Beware, crocodiles
    Jun 13 2026

    If you've inhaled all this week's episodes of Off Air (rightfully so) and you're looking for something else to get your ears around, how about some true crime from our sister podcast, The Story?


    Introducing Ghost Mountain, a new three-part series from The Story.


    Seventy-one-year-old British tourist Lorna McSorley went out for a walk near South Africa's Ghost Mountain. She never returned.


    In the first part of this three-part investigation, we travel to the remote, superstitious heart of KwaZulu-Natal to retrace Lorna’s final steps. As the police search hits a dead end, bizarre rumours begin to emerge - including talk of witchcraft and an illicit trade in body parts.


    Host: Jane Flanagan.

    Producer: Harry Stott.

    Executive Producers: Taryn Siegel and Kate Lamble.

    We want to hear from you - email: thestory@thetimes.com

  • Salvaging a marriage via the gut microbiome (with Leila Farzad)
    Jun 10 2026

    Before we can fully begin today's episode, we have to check in with Fi's menagerie... After that, Jane and Fi cover exam anxiety, being livid in shapewear, not recognising yourself at a children's party, and polygamy gone rogue. Plus, corruption could be rife on the office floor...


    They also speak to actor Leila Farzad about starring in the holiday-from-hell drama 'Two Weeks in August' and her new play 'Under the Shadow'.


    The TV shows that Jane and Fi recommended today were 'Gold' and 'Legends'.
