Summary
New Zealand PM Jacinda Arden made history when she took baby Neve to the UN Assembly in NYC this week; meanwhile, Trump made world leaders laugh out loud with his address (“that’s not what I was expecting” he replied, surprised at the lols.) In the domestic landscape, Dolly discovers a great new podcast and Pandora reads a unnerving but thought-provoking book.
Also this week, we host comedian and podcast supremo, Deborah Frances-White, creator and host of The Guilty Feminist. The podcast has had 50 million download since inception and is one of our favourites to listen to: it's funny, provoking, smart and political. The USP of The Guilty Feminist is: let humour do the heavy-lifting — something The High Low heartily admires. We talk inclusivity, intersectional feminism and why we are all guilty feminists.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Highloat, the weekly current affairs and pop culture podcast brought to you |
| 0:19.6 | by journalist Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes. |
| 0:22.6 | I'm sort of sad to say, I think this may be the week, I take my tites out of the drawer |
| 0:27.4 | again, so I think it's a bad week for mini skirts and a good week for legs. |
| 0:31.4 | A tight time isn't it? |
| 0:33.6 | This week I'm obsessed with potentially the first sensible thing Camille's ever said. |
| 0:38.4 | He tweeted that people are committing suicide because they aren't getting enough likes. |
| 0:43.1 | Speaking for myself, I personally want to participate in social media with the option |
| 0:47.4 | of not having to show my followers or likes, he said. |
| 0:50.7 | He also compared showing the number of likes someone has on social media to how much money |
| 0:55.0 | you have in the bank. |
| 0:56.6 | I think that's actually a very good idea. |
| 0:58.8 | Camille, insensible statement, shocker. |

| 1:23.3 | Nazanin was recently and briefly released for three days, got to see her four-year-old daughter |
| 1:28.0 | and then heartbreaking me with a young back in again. |
| 1:31.2 | Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt is impressing me more than he did as health secretary thus far |
| 1:36.2 | by adding to the pressure. |
