Exciting news Fad Camp listeners - Grace has a new podcast, The Jump! It is a brilliant comedy podcast where Grace and pop culture obsessive Niamh King ask the question 'what makes a great adaptation?'! We thought you would especially enjoy the Bridget Jones's Diary episode as it touches on some diet culture topics. As well as 90's London culture, smug marrieds, emotional fuckwits and bad hair! In each episode of The Jump Grace and Niamh take a beloved book that has been made into a movie or TV show and do a deep dive into what the production got right (or very wrong). From banger soundtracks to dodgy casting, we get into what it takes to make The Jump from page to screen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
