From the midst of modern life, packed as it is with stuff and clutter, comes the flagship podcast from Britain’s biggest intergenerational lifestyle brand, Good Housekeeping. My Life in a Biscuit Tin asks brave and brilliant women (and a few men) to face the one big question: what’s worth keeping?
Good Housekeeping’s Liz Moseley asks guests including Sadie Frost, Sharleen Spiteri, Emma Barnett and Kelly Hoppen to bring along six of their most treasured and personal things to store carefully in a metaphorical biscuit tin for safekeeping at the back of the top shelf of the GH Kitchen pantry.
Each treasure is a story - a precious memory, a funny anecdote or a cautionary tale worth sharing and worth keeping.
My Life in a Biscuit Tin from Good Housekeeping is available in the GH app, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.
In a world full of stuff and clutter, what’s worth keeping? Gok Wan opens his biscuit tin and shares the objects that have defined his life, from treasured keepsakes and style touchstones to the personal mementoes behind his journey in fashion and television.
He reflects candidly on confidence, identity and self-expression, and shares the lessons that changed the way he thinks about style - including the fashion advice he believes should be ditched for good.
