Lauren Sequeira, Rape misconceptions, Singer Julia Bullock

Lauren Sequeira tells Anita about her 'dark and sexy' new drama, Domino Day.

False beliefs about what does and doesn鈥檛 constitute rape are more deeply ingrained in young people than we might think. The Crown Prosecution Service has conducted research into what these misconceptions are, and the impact they鈥檙e having on the justice system when it comes to rape convictions. Anita Rani is joined by Baljit Ubhey from the CPS and Andrea Simon from End Violence Against Women to hear more.

Julia Bullock is an American classical singer. Her debut solo album, Walking in the Dark, was nominated for a Grammy award. Next week, she is bringing her mixed-media project History鈥檚 Persistent Voice to London鈥檚 Queen Elizabeth Hall. It shines a light on the words, work and experiences of Black American and British artists, and includes new songs commissioned from leading Black women composers. She joins Anita to discuss her music, her influences and her passions.

Journalist Helen Carroll faced a backlash online when she revealed she pays her son 拢40 a month to load the dishwasher. This sparked a discussion - were you paid as a child to do household chores? Or do you think children should just be doing things around the house anyway without money? Parenting coach and psychologist Sue Atkins joins Anita to discuss.

Domino Day is a brand new series coming to 大象传媒 Three which combines the world of modern dating with the world of the supernatural. Series writer Lauren Sequeira speaks to Anita about why the show鈥檚 themes of modern relationships and female empowerment are so important to her, and why she wanted to show witches in a whole new light.
