Summary

Times are tough, financially speaking, and Makala Green knows a thing or two about looking after the pennies, having worked her way up from a 16-year-old cashier at Nationwide bank to being a chartered financial planner. In this week’s podzine, she chats to Jen about her new book, The Money Edit, and what we can do to keep on top of our finances. When do you think the first woman was paid to work in science? Hannah finds out as she chats to Izzy Wall, assistant curator at Bath's Herschel Museum of Astronomy, about astronomer Caroline Herschel. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen chats about the new Number One in the Women’s Tennis Association rankings, while in Rated or Dated, Mick’s ready to rename the whole section after sitting through 1997’s Chasing Amy. And in the Bush Telegraph, there’s a plague island and some tiny joyous ear hairs. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

0:13.4	Hello and welcome to episode 198 of The Standard Issue, Podzene.
0:17.7	I'm Mickey Noonan and Frank Sabokka from Season 2 of The Wire remains one of the most
0:22.8	pathos-ridden characters ever created. I think he's my favourite character in anything,
0:28.4	ever. I think he's wonderful. He's so pathetic as the word but it's so used just in one context
0:34.7	these days that I don't mean it in it's kind of what a miserable sad man I mean it in that he makes
0:39.9	me feel heartbroken. It's a masterclass in doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.
0:46.0	Absolutely. I'm Hannah Dunlavy and when we finish recording this and I know you're all going
0:50.8	to be disappointed by this news but I'm off to buy a belt. Where's the jeopardy going to be when
0:55.2	you stunned up me? Oh I know. I know. I mean I'm going to be able to leave seats. Shuffle

1:25.1	there is no middle ground and I don't like belts but I'm going to have to get one.
1:28.9	You know in the first lockdown you made that plant hanger out of shoe laces could you not
1:34.5	fashion yourself a savvy little belt? I probably could yeah I might just be easier to come by one.
1:40.6	I don't know it would be it would be quite the aesthetic. I mean given that I gave the last two
