Summary

It's been a while since we've had the boss - Sarah Millican - on the podcast, but this week she has some exciting news to share. But that's not all we have to offer in this episode. Hannah chats to journalist and Loose Woman Kaye Adams about Still Hot, the collection of essays about the menopause she's co-edited with Vicky Allan, and why some of us are most definitely in denial. Mickey talks to serial entrepreneur Shaa Wasmund about business in the time of Covid, why women aren’t getting the breaks, and why class representation is key. In the Bush Telegraph, we're talking Page 3 dreams (?) and when bullying should absolutely be called bullying. And in Rated or Dated, we’re admiring the fashion choices but not so much the plotting as we watch 1985’s The Goonies. Have at it. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

podcasts. She doesn't listen to podcasts or even know how to listen to podcasts but she

0:49.8

saves our podcasts onto her computer every week. I've got two things to say about that.

0:56.3

One is that that's obviously quite sweet and the second thing is does that count as a listen?

1:02.4

Yeah totally. I'm Hannah done leaving and I've had a few days off.

1:06.8

It was as exciting as a few days off during lockdown, Mark 2, could be, yeah, I went to see my mother, because I'm allowed to just in case anybody

1:15.4

thinks that I'm breaking the rules I am allowed to see my mom because she's in my

Is it a balloon that you've drawn a face on?

1:28.0

No, it is actually a proper gravestone but in a rather classic, you know know not my job type thing there was a plant that I

1:36.2

put and they've literally just put it on top of the plant oh no literally just put the yeah I

1:41.6

thought I'd left enough room that it wouldn't affect it if I planted a plant there.

1:45.6

So they've literally just slammed this massive concrete block on some of a plant.

1:49.6

And if you take the little thing out that the flowers go into, you can see the plant just dying in the hole.

1:55.6

Wow, you'd think they'd be a bit better practiced at that kind of thing.

2:00.0

Yeah. Or that they don't know, it's not my job.
