So Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a flunkie goes "Deport!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Fresh from her run in Rhinoceros, singer, composer, writer & actor Anoushka Lucas is back on stage in a revival of her one-woman play Elephant at Menier Chocolate Factory. She chats to Hannah about her spectacularly successful side hustle in today's podcast. buff.ly/e5RtGQD

What's coming up in next week's podcasts? Lots and lots of great stuff, that's what.

Well played, horses. Well played.

In today's podcast @Inspireajen chats to artist and founder of the Red Dress project, Kirstie McLeod, about the project, embroidery as a (perhaps) surprising medium through which to pioneer social justice, and the joy of putting needle to thread. Dig in! buff.ly/UI6TBog

Had a great chat with Helen, one of my favourite people to have a great chat with.

As ever, fresh pods hitting your ears next week, with content including...

In today's podcast Jen Offord chats to @hannah_marsh about her new book Thread, the many misconceptions about the caesarean, the pressure on women around birth choices, and why women are struggling to have the births they want. Dig in! buff.ly/B0C36tr

“MAGAmemnon”. Incredible.

A fascinating book and a beautiful read (and a well good interview, obvs).

Male violence against women and girls is rising, year after year. So is online harassment, doxing, AI generated porn and upskirting. We know this because we measure it. This study is based on ... 38 men. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

“If good people don’t grip difficult issues, in my experience bad people do.” Hats off to Baroness Louise Casey for never stopping fighting for those women, then girls, abused by grooming gangs and let down by pretty much every institution.

🎥 RATED OR DATED 🎥 Where John Hughes first dared to tread, many – so very many – teen movies have followed. But will The Breakfast Club (1985) – a bona-fide Gen X cult classic – pass muster with Mickey Noonan, hannah dunleavy and Jen Offord? Find out! buff.ly/CcckO9E

Our Mickey Noonan's on Bush Telegram duty and with big Parliamentary votes and verdicts uniting left, right and centre, she's applauding – and hoping for more – attention to duty over feeling. And disco balls. open.substack.com/pub/standardis…
