Summary

Why do we need a Women's Equality Party? Are people too easily offended these days? And what's it like to be voted sexier than Hitler? Answering all these questions are two very special guests, Sandi Toksvig and David Baddiel! We chatted to them at the recent Mumsnet Blogfest event. Listen in to find out how David feels about being a dad, and what he thinks of our new TV show idea, Baddiel Or No Baddiel. Then Sandi tells us all about why she founded the Women's Equality Party and why it is time to stop shouting at the telly and do something. We round of with a couple of celebrity Scummy Mummy Confessions. David Baddiel returns to the Soho Theatre this January, and tickets are now on sale. His children's book, The Person Controller, is also out now.
