Summary

In this week's episode, team Noonan, Dunleavy and Offord venture OUTSIDE and somehow manage not to spontaneously burst into flames in the heat. Hannah chats to US journalist Hannah Levintova of the excellent Mother Jones about the current hoo-ha over America's Supreme Court and how it could seriously affect women's rights. She also catches up with bee queen Kath Austin to talk about the buzzy little pollinators and how they help Kath's company making food wrap. Hazel Davis talks to Marianne McNamara and Vashti MacLachlan of Mikron Theatre, artistic director and writer of its touring production about Sylvia Pankhurst, Revolting Women, respectively. Finally, Jen grabs 10 minutes with 5Live legend and top sporting brain Elly Oldroyd to talk Wimbledon and female athletes taking time out for kids.
