Summary

If you’re baffled by computers and the like, you’re absolutely not on your own – but there's hope! This week, Mick catches up with Dr Sue Black to chat about computer science, why it’s a good idea to know at least a little bit about this witchcraft, and how Sue's new podcast, 100 Moments That Rocked Computer Science, can help you do just that.  With a referendum about to take place in Gibraltar – a country with some of the harshest abortion laws in Europe – Hannah chats to Kayley Linares from Gibraltar For Yes about the campaign to change those laws and give women bodily autonomy. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen's chatting Olympic hopes and a summer of sporting firsts. In Rated or Dated, Mick’s hoping no one will be cutting her heart out with a spoon, as we watch 1991’s Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. And in the Bush Telegraph, we're asking is “ministerial leadership” *really* the answer?
