SIM Ep 804 Pod 235: Robotic Spice, Cultural Spice, and Superfluous Spice (The Movie)

SIM Ep 804 Pod 235: Robotic Spice, Cultural Spice, and Superfluous Spice (The Movie)

The issue of violence against women and girls is depressingly evergreen (see this week’s Bush Telegraph), and one which writer Emma Hickman takes on in her science fiction fairytale podcast, Eliza: A Robot Story. Mick caught up with Emma to chat about why she made a robot the protagonist of the series, what it was like to work in partnership with Manchester Women’s Aid and The Pankhurst Trust, and our old friend Poor Samantha, the sex robot*. Journalist Chanté Joseph talks to Jen about fronting the Guardian’s Pop Culture with Chanté Joseph podcast, the small-p politics in pop culture and her top stories of 2022. And in Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen’s looking forward to the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year awards. In Rated or Dated, we travel back in time to 1997 in a Routemaster Tardis to reminisce Miss Selfridge T-shirts and Michael Barrymore among other things, as Hannah asks herself why in God’s name has she made us watch Spice World The Movie. Plus there’s bad “jokes” and bad healthcare in the Bush Telegraph. *A heads up: this chat also includes discussion around rape, sexual abuse and coercive control.
