SIM Ep 943 Pod 293: Gambling, fighting and getting your whole family in a room together

Lindsay Duncan - you heard us! - is on stage at the National Theatre in a revival of Dodie Smith's Dear Octopus, so of course Jen jumped at the chance to chat to her. They were joined by the play's director, Emily Burns, to discuss family dynamics, age and a whole lot more. Hannah's also talking theatre this week, with Hannah Walker, creator of Gamble, a new show on tour around the country, which deals with her partner's struggle with gambling, how it's affected their relationship and what's helped them overcome it. Mickey's astride a horse, figuratively (probably), in this week's Rated or Dated, as we chat about 1974's Blazing Saddles. We're (almost) all about the netball in Jenny Off The Blocks and in BT we're talking abortion rights, budget cuts and some not hot felons. And one hot one. Learn more about your ad choices.
