Mad, Sad and Bad with Paloma Faith

By: JamPot Productions
  • Summary

  • Paloma Faith has had plenty of moments in her life when she's felt mad, sad or bad - or been told that's what she's being. But do these words mean the same for everyone? What does it mean if someone says you're mad: that you're angry? Unstable? Insane? Or perhaps just different... Could those words be liberating, therapeutic or even transformational?


    To find out more, Paloma invites an array of actors, comedians, musicians and thinkers into her home to reflect on times where they've felt mad, sad, bad - and even glad - what they've understood and learnt from these experiences too.


    This podcast takes us into Paloma's world, with friends and family popping in occasionally - come for the chaos; stay for the conversation!

  • Eve: I Thought I Was Cursed
    Mar 11 2025

    Not only is Eve a multi-talented actress, singer, rapper and songwriter, she’s also a trailblazing entrepreneur and a gorgeous Mum. I’ve been a fan of Eve since the Ruff Ryders days, and even begged my Mum to let me get Eve’s iconic paw-print tattoo, so it was a bit of a pinch me moment having her in my home...


    In this conversation, Eve shares childhood memories of being a class-clown who thrived off attention and laughter, but there was a period of darkness in her life where she struggled with the music industry and her relationship with alcohol. Eve opens up about the accident which forced her to turn her life around and take back the power in her career.


    Eve also talks about fertility and motherhood; from the ectopic pregnancy which she kept secret for years and her experiences of IVF, to the love she feels for her son and step-kids. I loved chatting with this amazing woman, not only is she beautiful inside and out, but she’s also an absolute icon and inspiration.

  • Paapa Essiedu: Why Grief Shouldn’t Be Feared
    Mar 4 2025

    Paapa Essiedu is not only an incredible actor, lighting up our screens and London’s stages, he’s also a great friend and probably the most emotionally intelligent man I know.


    In this conversation, Paapa opens up about losing both his parents by the age of 20, and what it taught him about love, grief, and how sadness creates the imperfections of our character which allow us to be authentic and unique individuals. We also discuss spirituality, Christian guilt, and how growing up going to church shaped Paapa’s ideas of what it means to be a good person. Paapa also shares his experiences of racial profiling as an actor, and how he’s learned to channel this anger into action.


    I deeply admire Paapa and his ability to express himself calmly and eloquently in the face of injustice – I really loved this thought-provoking and inspiring chat and hope you do too!

  • Elizabeth Day: How I Found Peace With Never Becoming a Mum
    Feb 25 2025

    TW: This episode contains discussion of assault


    Elizabeth Day is the person who first introduced me to podcasts, and if it weren’t for her this podcast probably wouldn’t exist, so it was an absolute dream to invite her round to mine for a chat!


    In this conversation, we discuss the sexist double standards that make Elizabeth mad, and I was thrilled to discover that beneath Elizabeth’s effortlessly put-together exterior is a person who indulges in road rage and isn't against having a cry on the tube. She also tells a never before heard story about the final piece of the puzzle that helped her accept not become a mother and how that, in turn, allowed her to find new ways to nurture and create in her life.


    Elizabeth also shares some hilarious dating stories, which you can hear more of in her new podcast How to Date, where she shares more of her trademark big-sister wisdom and dating advice! Elizabeth is so generous and thoughtful, spending time with her was an absolute treat.
