Summary

New year, new news-storms, and grooming gangs have dominated 2025’s early headlines. But, asks Mick, how much do the people “leading” this debate care about the working-class girls at the centre of the story and what really needs to shift for that to happen? Meanwhile, Jen’s chatting about the foster care crisis, and some intriguing new fitness trends. In Sexism of the Week, we’re wondering how great a tourist destination Afghanistan actually is, and there’s cricket and tennis in JOTB. And for our £5 and above Patreons, The Boss, aka Sarah Millican, is back with some Light Relief. You can listen to Mick's interview with Kiri Pritchard-McLean about becoming a foster parent, here.
