Choosing what to watch night after night the flicking through the endless

searching is a nightmare we want to help you on our brand new podcast off the

telly we share what we've been watching

Fladiated.

Load to games, loads of fun, loads of screaming.

Lovely. Off the telly with me Joanna Paige.

And me, Natalie Cassidy, so your evenings can be a little less

searching and a lot more auction listen on BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

Hello, I'm Emma Barnet and welcome to Woman's A from BBC Radio 4.

Good morning. Here's one for you. Have you ever been called a witch? If you have, it's not usually a term of endearment, although you tell us otherwise.

The broadcaster and academic Mary Beard is joining me today. She is no stranger to that word being thrown

at her mainly on social media as an insult. She feels it's done out of fear of

older women. What about you though? Has it happened to you? Perhaps the insults or the words

that have been thrown at you in various contexts have changed as you have got

older or perhaps changed status in some way. How have those words changed and how have you felt

about them? How do you respond? 84844, that's the number you need to text.

Text of course will be charged at your standard message rate I should say or on

Twitter or on Instagram we're at BBC Woman's out or email us through our website

many messages already in about this I I particularly like Greta's one that's just

come in saying which hag old

crown in my book equals a wise woman or a wild woman none of which I find

insulting I was another one here from Rebecca's I was referred to as the gray-haired one in my last workplace by my boss.
