Summary

We're back to the witch hunts this week, albeit of a different kind, as Hannah chats to Sophie Perrins, producer of new documentary Forced Out. They chat about the hard reality of what it meant to be a gay man or a lesbian in the British military at the end of the 20th century and about the brave people who stood up to this huge injustice and, eventually, forced a change. Jen's chatting to author, film critic and broadcaster, Anna Bogutskaya, about her new book Unlikeable Female Characters, and, not coincidentally, Shiv Roy. And there’s a broadcast backlash in Jenny Off The Blocks. Huge sigh. In Sexism of the Week, Mickey's got news from an Aussie bar, sorry, bra, sorry bar bra. And in Rated or Dated, load up the pussy wagon (yuk), because we're watching Grease. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

is good for a podcast, so let's see how this goes. Jen, should we try and guess the symptoms?

0:52.7

Is one of them shitting yourself? No, okay. If it was, I would never talk about it on the podcast.

1:00.7

Or to anyone ever. Is it a cough?

1:04.6

Sneezing. Well, one of them is sneezing. Sneezed approximately a thousand times over the weekend,

1:09.7

so Jen is not happy, obviously. Jen will have cystitis now because I've been sneezing.

1:14.4

And the other one is I keep getting cramp in the back of my thigh, and that is like a proper...

1:19.7

So if that happens during the podcast, apologies. It's the shame you're not doing bus telegraph this

1:25.6

week, because it is an appropriate response to most of the news, if I'm honest. I used to get,

1:31.2

sometimes do, get cramp in my feet of an evening, and that was a symptom of this indeed efficiency,

1:40.9

Hannah. So maybe, maybe choose that out. Well, I actually was up and down the ladder yesterday.

1:45.8

Happened when I was at the top of a ladder cat in the head to be wondering what could have gone wrong.

1:49.6

But I did drink lots of water, and they improved after that. I was going to say...
