SIM Ep 711 Pod 195: Advice from Rachel Parris, rhinestones for Dolly Parton, and more Kip please

Comedian and Standard Issue fave Rachel Parris has been soliciting advice from strangers for her new book, which is called... Advice From Strangers. She chats to Hannah, from the back of a cab, about the joy and madness of actual advice from strangers, being on tour, and her candid writing about late miscarriage. Our resident music buff Liz Buckley is back and she's in a shiny hat, because this time she's talking to Mick about country music superstar, rhinestone queen, philanthropist, stealth feminist and absolute shero: Dolly Parton. In Jenny Off The Blocks, shit's getting real at Chelsea, and Jen's also wondering what the what is going on in the England women's cricket team. And in Rated or Dated, grab your hankies and prepare to shout "FIT!" a lot, because we're watching the devastatingly beautiful people in Anthony Minghella's Oscar-bothering 1997 romance/drama, The English Patient. Plus, apocalyptic times and, indeed, shenanigans in the Bush Telegraph. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
