Summary

Today we find out that Em’s cycling era might be over… we know you’re all as hooked on this new passion as Alex! We get a small insight into Alex’s clubbing days and we also discuss the internet’s entitlement to give unsolicited parenting advice.

We also discuss Donald Trump’s comments about autism and pregnancy, why Em is feeling slightly more hopeful about our political landscape here in the UK, and why some echo chambers are worth cultivating.
