Summary

We have a catch up on the latest Lockdown before mulling over the clusterf*!k that was the spending review. Then it's a great chat with author and journalist Ella Whelan, who has some refreshing takes on Feminism and stinging rebukes for aspects of #MeToo and the idea of toxic masculinity.

I close with a mini meltdown when I find out my area isn't in Tier 1.

How are you been doing? You've been having another exciting week in lockdown in lockdown

0:22.9

you know what I did last night I went to Tesco's right I late night I just decided I needed some

0:27.8

Even my wife, when I bought them back, she was like, you bought batteries. That's not the kind of level of household management I usually enter into. but that's where we're at.

0:35.3

Yeah.

0:54.9

And as I speak, we're at. Yeah.

1:00.4

And we were, as I speak, we're awaiting the announcement of which tier we're going to be in.
