#8: About Having Anxiety
In this episode of Amy Talks, I discuss an issue that affects everyone at some point in their lives - anxiety. For some, it can be a driving test or exam that fills them with fear, for others it's a very debilitating condition that has a massive effect on their mental health. Also there's a great good news story that concerns flying and violins.

#7: About My Favourite Conspiracy Theories
Conspiracy theories are all the rage at the moment - is Paul McCartney really dead? Who is Lil Miquela? I explore this and more as these are very fascinating to me (even if I don't always believe them!). Which ones are your favourites? Be sure to let me know on Twitter or Facebook @amytalkspodcast.

#6: About Being A Broadcast Journalist (Interview with James Mates)
Having worked at ITN for over 35 years, ITV News' current Europe Editor has certainly experienced a lot in the name of news journalism. I quiz him about taking his entire family abroad, reporting on the election of Nelson Mandela and everyone's fascination with his eyebrows.
