Summary

In playwright Sadie Hasler’s new thriller, Killing Jack, she explores women reclaiming the streets today, while honouring the lives of Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary Jane – the women killed by Jack the Ripper. She chats to our Mick about family trees, class and privilege, difficult conversations, and why she’s not having Jack the Ripper in her Jack the Ripper play. Jen chats to director Rosie Morris, whose documentary short, My Blonde GF, tells the story of Helen Mort, a woman whose life was turned upside down when she discovered she'd been the victim of deepfake pornography. They also talk about the deep-rooted misogyny that runs alongside image-based sexual assault, and why we need to think about what we post online. And it’s ballet a-go-go in this week’s Rated or Dated as Mick and Hannah watch Powell and Pressburger 1948 classic The Red Shoes. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

1:15.2	I'm Mickey Noonan and I have a new alarm clock. I've got to guess it's like a biological thing
1:21.4	rather than a piece of technology, right? It's a very furry, cute alarm clock, but about

1:42.3	and purring really, really loudly. Well, you married him. I did.
1:46.8	Oh, I think the pro is going to mean that there's no divorce, but I'll tell you.
1:53.4	No, it's not Gary. It's Mr. Trauzers who has decided that that is cuddle time and if I don't
