| 0:00.0 | This episode of The Guilty Feminist is sponsored by Ashley versus WWE, the true story of wrestler |
| 0:06.5 | Ashley Masaru. Ashley Masaru was a wrestling star appearing on American television from 2005, |
| 0:13.2 | but she took her own life in 2019, after making allegations of abuse against world wrestling |
| 0:18.8 | entertainment the company which promoted her. In this audible original podcast, you'll hear Ashley's |
| 0:24.1 | true story, which touches on important themes of mental health and the Me Too movement. It |
| 0:29.0 | investigates the claims that WWE not only failed to protect Ashley throughout her career, |
| 0:34.1 | but on multiple occasions put her directly in harm's way. It's a grim story, but an important one, |
| 0:39.6 | and it gives Ashley a voice in a way that she hasn't always had in the other media coverage of these |
| 0:44.3 | events. I can't think of anything more firm in this than that. Listen now to Ashley versus |

| 1:09.5 | Affording a home and saving for a deposit has never been easy, but it's also never been as |

| 1:19.3 | to get on and stay on the property ladder. They are committed to making housing more affordable, |
| 1:23.8 | accessible and available for everyone. Every 16 minutes, they help someone buy a home, |
| 1:29.2 | and one in two of their mortgages goes to a first time buyer. I feel incredibly lucky to have |
| 1:34.4 | been able to buy my flat. It was very difficult for me to be able to afford it, but the stars aligned |
| 1:39.2 | and I was able to pull it off. I think a year later or a year earlier, I genuinely wouldn't have |
| 1:44.0 | managed it. I'm not just saying that, I honestly sometimes feel like Indiana Jones diving under the |
| 1:48.2 | door and pulling back to Grabby's hat when I think about buying my flat. Part of the problem today |
| 1:52.7 | is the lack of availability in the housing market and Leeds Building Society are actively pushing |
