Late Night Woman's Hour
- Late Night Woman's Hour (LNWH) is a late night edition of the long-running, BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour.
- It started in 2015 with a one month pilot run, scheduled twice weekly on Thursday and Friday at 11 pm for one hour.
- The presenters for this first run were Lauren Laverne and Jane Garvey who led panels of five guests in discussion of a particular topic such as fan fiction or lust.
- Lauren Laverne then became the permanent host when the programme started a regular schedule in 2016, being scheduled as a monthly podcast which was then broadcast on Radio 4 at 11 pm on the last Thursday of each month.
- The topics discussed in the first run included the dating app, Tinder, and lying. The conversation was frank and adult, being broadcast after the watershed.
- This resulted in a gaffe when one of the guests, Guardian journalist Hannah Jane Parkinson, used an expletive, for which the host apologised. Other guests have included Irma Kurtz, Kellie Maloney and Richard Herring.
