SIM Ep 665 Pod 178: A bawdy woman, a murderous bunch and a big old bum toot

Zadie Smith taking on Chaucer? Big yes please. This week, Mickey is chatting to actor Clare Perkins about Smith's new play The Wife of Willesden, playing a woman with five husbands and meeting Christopher Walken. Hannah catches up with comedian and top woman Zoe Lyons, who tells us about living with alopecia and why she's decided to talk publicly about it. In Rated or Dated, we're wondering if we'd make it through dinner, as we watch 1996's The Last Supper. And there's sniggering ahoy in The Bush Telegraph, as we discuss THE big story from COP26.
