#500 EPISODES: Josie Gibson & Malin Andersson (Ep#18)

Author: Kate Thornton August 6, 2026 Duration: 47:29

Welcome back to White Wine Question Time - and our summer of reflection.


It's a while since we've listened to some of these episodes - and today's comes from friends Josie Gibson & Malin Andersson. We say friends - but their friendship had played out entirely through social media - what you're about to hear is actually the first time they'd met.


When Malin lost her baby aged just one-month-old Josie took it upon herself to gather messages of support and kept Malin in a constant supply of videos. It's an act of kindness that sums up their supportive friendship.


As you can imagine - some sections of this conversation were quite raw, and we discuss infant death, suicidal thoughts and and other potentially disturbing topics.


But there is also light to balance the shade - and plenty of it - the final words of this episode might just be the best words ever spoken on the podcast.


And bear in mind that this pod was recorded in 2018... there's one moment where Josie refers to social media as having been through its dark period and is getting generally more positive. We even predict that 'influencers' won't be a thing in five years time. Well... we can't always be right.


Cheers!

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens after a glass or two of wine, where guards come down and real stories emerge. That’s the atmosphere White Wine Question Time captures so perfectly. Hosted by Kate Thornton, each episode gathers well-known friends for a relaxed yet revealing chat, structured around three thoughtful questions and, of course, a shared bottle. What unfolds is less a formal interview and more a glimpse into the genuine friendships behind the public personas. You’ll hear laughter, unexpected confessions, and perspectives on culture, society, and current events that rarely make the headlines. This podcast thrives in the space between entertainment and intimate disclosure, often veering into comedy as these candid discussions unfold. With a vast back catalogue of over 450 episodes, each one feels like pulling up a chair to a fascinating table. Whether you start with the latest release or browse the extensive archive, you’re guaranteed a listen that’s as engaging and relevant as it is genuinely enjoyable.
