Summary

Jessica Turner and Amara Karan are stars of Tim Walker’s new play Bloody Difficult Women, in which they play Theresa May and Gina Miller respectively, in a storyline that charts the events behind the court case Miller brought against May in 2016 and what’s happened since. They chat to our Jen about being powerful women – and making Theresa May sympathetic. Sorrywhatnow? Hannah’s been on the Zoom with comedian Hayley Ellis to chat touring with the boss (as in our boss, Sarah Millican), bringing up a baby in a pandemic, what she learned about comedy when she couldn't do it, and why it’s always key to check someone’s a real doctor before whipping your piles out. Sorrywhatnow? In Jenny Off The Blocks, it’s tough titties for Chelsea fans and loadsa medals at the Paralympics, and there’s a big cinematic hug in Rated or Dated as the team watch Stand By Me. Meanwhile, in BT, the good news is a plaque for women has been removed and Mick’s put International Women’s Day in the sin bin.

Hello and welcome to Episode 194 of the Standard Issue PODZ.

0:50.0

I'm Mickey Ninan and I am very much enjoying my daily, wordle, cordle and wargle brain exercises.

0:57.0

Now, Mickey, since this is the second time we're recording this because of technical problems, I've since gone on and discovered what wargle is.

1:05.0

Have I ruined your life, Sasha made it better?

1:08.0

But, well, yesterday you made a point and feel free to make it again.

1:12.0

If you used to doing wordle and then you discover wargle, which is wordle but with six letters, you just go, I can't think of any six letter words.

Exactly the same thing that happened to me. I thought, I'm going to have to get a dick.
