Lush! with Joanna Page
Pixiu Podcasts
SummaryWelcome to the warm, chaotic, and wonderfully unfiltered world of Joanna Page and her husband, James Thornton. In Lush!, the Gavin and Stacey star invites you into their home for a weekly heart-to-heart that feels exactly like catching up with your closest friends. Whether they are navigating the bittersweet milestones of parenting—from school graduations to the complexities of modern childhood—or debating the merits of their latest household obsessions, Joanna and James keep things beautifully honest and relatable. The podcast is a candid deep dive into the realities of long-term partnership and family life. You will hear them tackle everything from the exhaustion of school holidays and the struggle for personal space, to the bizarre and supernatural, including whispered sightings of bedroom ghosts and reflections on childhood imaginary friends. Their conversations are frequently punctuated by sharp, self-deprecating humor as they weigh in on the "what ifs" of their pasts, their evolving career paths, and the hilarious mishaps that come with raising four children. With their recurring "EXTRA LUSH" episodes featuring listener voice notes, the show becomes a communal space where no topic is off-limits. From finding balance through unexpected passions like football to sharing honest advice on maintaining intimacy and sanity in a busy household, this is Joanna and James at their most authentic. It is a heartfelt, funny, and comforting reminder that while life is often messy, it is much better when you have someone to share the chaos with.
