In a bold move to redefine women’s conversations in media, Irish broadcaster Angela Scanlon and British reality TV star Vicky Pattison have teamed up to launch a new podcast titled Get A Grip. Debuting on May 8, 2025, the podcast aims to create an unfiltered space where the duo discusses topics ranging from motherhood and marriage to pop culture and societal pressures. Produced by Audio Always and distributed via Acast, Get A Grip promises to be the unapologetic group chat listeners have been craving.

The Genesis of “Get A Grip”
The idea for Get A Grip stemmed from the shared experiences of Scanlon and Pattison, who have often been told to “pipe down” or “get a grip” in their personal and professional lives. This common thread inspired them to create a platform where they could speak openly and honestly about the challenges and absurdities women face daily.
Angela Scanlon remarked:
“Being told to ‘get a grip’ is not a new notion for most women, and is something I’ve experienced a couple of times (a week!), as has Vicky!”

Angela Scanlon, known for her work on BBC and Virgin Radio UK, brings a wealth of broadcasting experience to the podcast. Vicky Pattison, who rose to fame on Geordie Shore and won I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, adds her candid and relatable perspective. Their chemistry is palpable, and their combined experiences promise engaging and insightful discussions.
Vicky Pattison shared:
“For those who know me by now, I am never one to shy away from expressing myself, whether people want to hear it or not!”

- Motherhood and Marriage: Navigating the complexities of family life.
