Summary

We could all do with a little refresher in adulting from time to time, says Sarah Knight, author of the multi-million selling No F*cks Given Guides. Sarah’s back on the podzine this week, to talk about the latest in the series, Grow The F*ck Up, as well as giving Jen a few pointers on where grown-ups go wrong, why self-awareness can be a real drag but is absolutely crucial, and how to ask for what we want. Hannah's chatting to Davinia Hamilton and Marta Vella, the Maltese actors and writers behind Blanket Ban, a play about Malta's total ban on abortion, which opens at the Southwark Playhouse on 25 April. In JOTB, Jen's asking how on earth it can be possible that women’s football isn’t cool enough, as she talks all things international. And it’s mashed potato and strong nana game at the ready in Rated or Dated, as Mick takes us to her leader, Steven Spielberg, to revisit UFO blockbuster Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

0:28.7	Maybe I shouldn't have broadcast this again. No, it is a chocolate egg that's got dinosaurs inside it. It's studded inside with many chocolate dinosaurs and ammonites.
0:40.5	That sounds amazing. Where's that from? Over the nice seam, Gary.
0:44.0	It's from ChocoCo. ChocoCo. ChocoCo. I don't know how you pronounce it.
0:50.2	ChocoCo, if you're listening, we are available for sponsorship.
0:54.5	Then more dinosaurs my way, the chocolate you kind, yes please.
0:58.3	That sounds fantastic. I get really weirdly sentimental about stuff like this though and I'm like,
1:04.0	oh, but I don't want to break it. And so maybe the only way in, because you are going to have to smash it,
1:10.6	is if I can get myself some paleontologist tools and pretend I'm on a dig.
1:15.8	I just mind a gentle tapping there for the podcast listeners. It's a bit like the year my mom got me
1:22.7	and this does sound like a euphemism and it isn't a chocolate otter from fetis.
1:28.8	Yeah, from fetis. Oh my god, I remember those. They were amazing.

1:42.8	Anyway, this, it was massive, this chocolate otter and it was like great until I was like, well, how?
1:48.4	How do I eat this? Like, I'm going to have to club this otter to death.
1:52.7	Like, I'm basically going to have to have like a ring of bright water moment and a like serious
1:58.8	otter tragedy here. I don't know if you've anyone's watch ring of bright water. Don't do it. It's
2:04.2	quite, quite traumatic. It's the otter equivalent of watershed down, isn't it?
