Jeremy Vine on Hormones, Headlines & Hearing Women

This week, we welcome one of Britain’s most iconic broadcasters, Jeremy Vine, for a conversation that blends bold questions, surprising insights, and real vulnerability around women’s health, gender roles, and breaking media taboos. Known for his quick wit, sharp intellect, and signature open-mindedness, Jeremy Vine has spent over three decades at the forefront of British journalism. As the longtime host of BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine Show — the most listened-to radio news programme in the UK — he’s interviewed everyone from world leaders and celebrities to everyday citizens with extraordinary stories. He’s also the host of Channel 5’s daily current affairs show ‘Jeremy Vine’, and a former BBC political correspondent and Newsnight presenter. But in this episode, we meet a different side of Jeremy — not just the interviewer, but the listener. A father to two daughters and a vocal advocate for open dialogue, Jeremy reflects on how his understanding of women’s hormones, periods, and perimenopause has shifted both personally and professionally over the years. With host Leah Christian, they explore how women’s health has moved from the private to the public sphere — and why many men still feel hesitant or uncomfortable joining that conversation. A powerful discussion around women’s safety, trust, and male accountability And a revealing game of Would You Rather — with answers you won’t expect! From thyroid misinformation to how men can support hormonal health, this is a candid, smart, and deeply human conversation that proves one thing: Women’s health isn’t just a women’s issue — it’s a societal one.

📚 Whether you’re a longtime Jeremy Vine listener or part of The House of Hormones community, this episode offers something rare — true intergenerational dialogue about the realities women face, the men willing to learn, and the power of shared understanding.
