Standard issue for all women.

Hello there and welcome to Tuesday's episode of the Standard Issue podcast, brought to you by me,

Ricky Noonan, future spy.

Maybe more than that in a bit.

Now then, have you already listened to Jen's chat with Dr Donna Peppody about screening sexual violence?

You should do because that is her brilliant research

project and online resource that explores representations of violence against women in work

made by female filmmakers and it is fascinating. Tomorrow we're watching 2001 soulful students' favourite

and our second weird ass bunny of the year as Donnie Darko gets

rated or dated. Jen and I are on Bush Telegraph duty this week, the news, and Hannah is

helming a fresh outside the box on Friday full of small screen hits and misses. And today I bring

you thrills, spills and an impressive strong female lead, courtesy of Anna Maloney

and her fast-paced new novel about a train hijacking and passengers clapping back, the 10-12.

We're chatting just how wildly recollections of events may differ, have-a-go heroes and

heroines, and why you should never underestimate a woman in her midlife.

Am I fine if you're listening?

They're always listening.

I am ready for your call.

There is, as ever, more chat for our £5 and above patrons.

And in the meantime meantime here's Anna.
