Summary

Areej Osman is a senior placement coordinator at Refugees At Home, and this week, she’s explaining the realities of hosting a displaced person. She and Jen chat pros, cons, vulnerabilities and responsibilities. Victorian girl power is the foundation of author Liz Hyder’s latest fiction, The Gifts, and she’s talking to Mick about fierce women, unscrupulous surgeons, surprise wings and the joyful power of storytelling. In Jenny Off The Blocks, there’s a surprise retirement and more cricket, while in Rated or Dated, Hannah’s pick of 1997 Aussie cult classic The Castle leads to some Dunleavy and Noonan reminiscing about gifts from Lourdes. And in the Bush Telegraph, there’s trafficking, taxes and toxic behaviour, but absolutely no Nazis. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

0:00.0	Standard issue for all women.
0:13.2	Hello and welcome to episode 197 of the Standard Issue Podzine.
0:17.7	I'm Mickey Noonan and I can't work out whether the oversized look is brilliant and freeing
0:23.0	or makes me look like a toddler.
0:25.0	Hmm.
0:25.9	A. Thanks mate. I do like it as do my boobs just swinging about in the breeze.
0:33.0	What's what oversized items are you talking about?
0:35.6	I bought a frock on eBay which is lovely and roomy and sort of you know a bit boho and I was
0:42.8	like oh I enjoy this so then I got a little bit obsessed at looking at sort of puff
0:47.0	shoulder dresses and I got one again on eBay because that's where I do my shopping and
0:52.8	it is massive even though the size is not massive and I'm like do I like this or do I look
0:59.8	like I'm having some sort of breakdown and am I having some sort of breakdown?
1:05.4	Maybe I think oversized clothes do become more appealing with age shall we say?
1:12.3	Absolutely as we were just discussing off air I can't say whether it's because I recently had
1:17.3	a birthday or maybe 45 is just my cutoff point for stuff and things there are noisiers and
1:23.4	creeks and smells it's all gone wrong. Speaking of which I'm Hannes Unleavy and if anyone listening
1:31.6	has any dental skills please DM me. Could we tie a bit of string around it and then round a
1:36.4	door handle just from the door? You know you can buy shit in boots like DIY filling stuff.
1:43.5	I mean I know that's not what you require it for but like you literally can buy shit like that
1:47.6	in your average pharmacy these days. I mean I made a mess of dying my own hair now because I don't
1:53.6	think dental work. I would not try to fill my own dental cavity. I wouldn't. I'm just a spin
