Summary

In this episode, Jen chats to Rebecca Schiller, co-founder and trustee of Birthrights, about what they’re doing to help pregnant women during the coronavirus outbreak. Mick has a natter with Kayleigh Llewellyn, writer and creator of award-winning BBC comedy drama series In My Skin. Rachel Reeves, now shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, spoke to Jen back in March about her book Women of Westminster, and why we need to see more women in the top jobs in government.

In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen recaps the many cancellations in women’s sport, Hannah stretches the meaning of disaster a bit, but has a lovely time as Dunleavy Does Disaster takes on Con (H)Air. Plus in the Bush Telegraph there are some Judgey McJudgetons, unlikely scapegoats and an unwelcome headline about domestic abuse as the UK Lockdown rumbles on. Thank Christ for marauding goats.

0:43.0	Regular listeners will know we make no bones about disliking his politics and those of the Tory government in general,
0:48.0	but it's horribly sad and unnerving that the Prime Minister is so ill ill and we very much hope he pulls through.
0:54.6	He and everyone else struggling today and tomorrow and for however long this fecker of a virus lasts.
1:00.2	We'd be hypocrites if what's happening to Boris Johnson right now stopped us criticizing the government and indeed the Prime Minister when it comes to recent measures to do with coronavirus.
1:08.8	As it's done right now as I record this, the PM is reported to be in a stable condition and good spirits and we hope

1:47.1	Saturday a neighbor decided to power hose my front door uninvited and my ad
1:52.0	during which he broke my letterbox and soaked my whole carpet.
1:55.8	I mean, I'd have been happy with a roll of toilet paper, but there you have it.
1:58.9	It all sounds like some monstrous euphemism, doesn't it?
2:02.1	To be honest, I think it might have been more fun for me if it was a monstrous euphemism.
