Digg Podcast

Olivia McVeigh is a makeup artist, entrepreneur, content creator, podcast host and advocate who has built a powerful online community through her honesty around alopecia, endometriosis, confidence and women’s health.

Olivia opens up about losing her hair, learning to wear wigs with confidence, being diagnosed with endometriosis after years of pain, and why female pain is too often ignored. 

She talks about being put into menopause at 24, the reality of living with alopecia, the importance of advocating for yourself, and why she refuses to let online opinions stop her from showing up.

Olivia also shares the story behind the Girls Groupchat podcast, her BBC 100 Women recognition, her wig workshops, and why representation for women with hair loss matters so much. 

This is a conversation about confidence, resilience, female health, social media and learning to stop seeing yourself as something that needs to be fixed.

Darragh Ennis is best known as The Menace on ITV’s hit quiz show The Chase, where he quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his intelligence, warmth and down to earth personality. But before television, Darragh spent years working as a neuroscientist in Oxford, and his journey to becoming a Chaser all started because he needed money for a new back door.

Darragh is open and honest about life behind the scenes of The Chase, dealing with grief after losing his father, the pressure of being in the public eye, and why kindness matters more than success or money. He also shares powerful advice on memory, learning, social media, reading, fear, confidence and making the most of life.

This is a conversation full of heart, humour and perspective, and one of Darragh’s most open interviews yet.
