Summary

Milton Keynes, once the UK capital of youth homelessness and dubbed "tent city" by the media, has successfully tackled its rough sleeping crisis. How? Hannah got on the Zoom with city councillor and soon-to-be Labour candidate in the next election (please arrive soon) to find out. Mickey asks theatre director Amy Hodge to pick her favourite kid as they talk about the fantastically great women getting some big rep in the stage show Fantasically Great Women Who Changed the World. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen's talking about Joey Barton talking (oh God!), and in Rated or Dated, there's a fiery death and folk music as we watch 1973's The Wicker Man (oh Jesus Christ!). Which is more horrific? You decide. Also, we decide. And in BT, who fancies a pit-stop operation? Anyone? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
