The Big Hairy Podcast
The Big Hairy Podcast is brought to you by clean beauty brand, thebeautyworX (www.thebeautyworx.co.uk). It explores hair and the meaningful ways it’s linked to identity, ethnicity and gender. TV and radio star, Sarah Cawood speaks to a wildly diverse range of guests from drag queens to best-selling authors, celebrity wig-makers and body-positivity influencers, who share funny, moving, inspiring and thought-provoking stories about their hair. We’ll hear from Shanice Croasdaile, star of BBC’s Glow Up, director of Blacks Can’t Swim, Ed Acurra, influencer Rachael Sealy and magazine editor Irene Shelley about the history of Black Hair and its impact on their culture. In another episode we hear from former Empire editor and best-selling author, Terri White, as well as TikTok’s queen of colour, Heffy Wheeler. They both share their own battles with mental health and how their hair became central to their coping strategy. And there are many more brilliant guests including legendary wig designer Angela Cobbin, TED Talk Star Lizi Jackson-Barrett, award-winning bridal hair and make-up artist, Tracy Pallari and media consultant, Fiona Scott.
