Summary

Biological clocks, abortions rights, percussive speculum – it’s all happening in Larisa Faber’s brilliant play, stark bollock naked. Mick got on the Zoom with Larisa and her partner in collaboration, Shamira Turner, to chat whether that tick-tock is real, imagined or societal and to try to answer the evergreen question, ‘will women ever be fully human?’. Samantha Lane, artistic director of Little Angel Theatre, talks to our Hannah about why it's never too early to start taking your kids to the theatre, and how shouting, pointing and tapping knees are all positively encouraged from the little ones. There’s sports, sports and more sports, including some spicy Women’s World Cup footballing action, in Jenny Off The Blocks. The jury’s out on whether Hannah will ever recover from *that* scene in the Farrelly Brothers’ 1998 sleeper hit There’s Something About Mary. (Seriously though, how do you get the frank above the beans?) And are our alien overlords finally here and, if so, have they made the woke list? Find out in this week’s Bush Telegraph.

0:00.0	Welcome to the British Telegram. One more check that I'm recording. Sorry, okay, I am.
0:16.1	Standard issue for all women. Hello and welcome to episode 265 of the
0:22.8	Standard Issue Pod Scene. I'm McKinunin and this weekend I took a dip in the
0:27.4	North Sea, like a legend, freezing cold, legend. Surprisingly not that cold. I
0:34.5	know it was kind of miserable everywhere, apart from Margate, apparently, where the
0:39.0	sun was shining and the sea, I thought one to ten and freezing is ten, would be
0:44.7	about an eight and a half, was about a six, had a little flow, bobbed around for a
0:49.3	bit, lovely stuff, like a turd, then doubled sea. We're not talking about
0:54.5	sewage or I'm going to say either didn't add to it. That was my gift to the world.
0:58.6	I make there's a theme here every week is like a frozen water. In fact, yeah next
1:05.2	week I'll have had a nice pop or something. I'm at Hanneton Leafy and well I'm
1:11.1	just glad to be here, to be honest. It's Tuesday, yesterday, technology, really,
1:19.2	fucked me, and now I'm just glad to be here. Thanks for your patience.
1:24.4	I like that when technology kicks you off, that is the one time you start believing in the
1:31.7	levelling god. Yeah, someone's talking with me. Yeah, absolutely. They were. It's
1:37.9	terribly impossible for my laptop, my recording device, and my wife, I'll go at the same
1:43.0	time. Clearly not impossible, I'm afraid. Only if baby Jesus is up there just laughing.
1:48.9	Just really angry these days. I don't think that's his vibe, is it?
1:52.3	It's not his vibe, is it? No, he's a hippie. He never did to church, lads.
1:57.4	Oh yeah, I mean the religion around it is horrific, but baby Jesus's vibe was very much like,
2:04.0	all right guys, let's look at Long and Lovey Trevor and have a nice time in it.
2:07.9	Here's some fish. Have some fish. Let's all have fish and chips. It's going to be grand.
