Summary

Masturbation, owed orgasms, shame, grief and the word 'moist': all of them get a look-in during Mick's wide-ranging chat with excellent poet Hollie McNish, whose brilliant new book,Ā SlugĀ is a bona-fide gem. Hannah catches up withĀ Julie Gearey, writer and creator of new SkyOne sci-fi seriesĀ Intergalactic, to chat the joys of a feministĀ Con AirĀ in particular, and women in sci-fi in general. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen's loving the work of Katie Taylor and Emma Hayes, and there’s a need for greater respect the American taxpayer in this week’s Rated or Dated,Ā Top Gun.Ā Plus there’s dodgy ā€˜dos, dodgy deeds, and generally too much news in the Bush Telegraph.
