Athena Kugblenu

Athena has a conservatory (it came with the man). But what does that tell us about her identity? She’s got an aluminium hooded extractor fan and uses fabric conditioner. But does the quilted toilet roll in both of Athena’s toilets signify a working class girl done good? Or does it say that the rigid way we look at class might need a rethink? This stand up show tackles these questions and gives Athena the courage to finally live her truth as an upwardly mobile individual.Producer... Leila NavabiProduction Coordinator...

Clive Anderson and Athena Kugblenu are joined by Jim Broadbent, Mark Thomas, Gráinne Maguire and Tim Firth for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from Jamie Webster and John Shuttleworth.

Welcome to the first flurry of episodes of The Way They Were!  In this edition, Grainne and Chantal welcome you to join them to celebrate the lost love of the king and queen of Juicy Couture, Cheryl Tweedy, and Ashley Cole! And the guest taking us back to the days of ghetto fabulous and dubious self-tanning choices is comedian and writer, Athena Kugblenu! Yes, thanks to Athena, we get to cast our memories back to the days before Cheryl's name became too long for an autocue and Ashley still lived in a flat (Why?? He was a multi-millionaire... BUY A HOUSE). We walk through the early days of that erstwhile love affair and those first faltering texts Ashley sent to woo the nation's sweetheart (Silvia Plath he ain't) and find, ultimately who thrived and who just survived after the relationship.  Also, each week Chantal and Grainne will be asking the guest to come up with the perfect life partner for a very special single megastar and Athena's suggestion shouldn't work, but just does. Welcome to the wonderful world of 'The Way They Were'.

This week Tom is joined by Athena Kugblenu and her sleeping baby. While the little one naps, Tom and Athena travel back in time to boozy lunches in Camden, cycling lessons not in lycra, and the very foundations of modern society. Athena's just got her own Radio 4 series and it's pretty clear why when you listen to this. Ludicrously erudite, brilliantly witty and endlessly entertaining. She's the best! @toasterpod on all your twitter Facebook instagrams. patreon.com/toasterpod if you fancy chucking us some change! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
