SIM Ep 73 Pod 26: Female parts, medical musicals, and historical broads

This week, team Noonan, Dunleavy and Offord have a good old natter with Hoxton Hall's Artistic Director Karena Johnson about the theatre's new season, Female Parts, Mickey has a chat with Bryony Kimmings about cancer - namely her show, The Pacifist's Guide to the War on Cancer, and we get giddy over story time with Allison Vale, who's talking about her excellent book A Woman Lived Here. Elsewhere, Sarah's answering your life questions, Jen has some thoughts on the best position to play in netball, Dunleavy "does" Disney's Basil The Great Mouse Detective, and the team wonder - just how bad are they at being feminists?
