SIM Ep 147 Chops 49: Diversify! with June Sarpong

In this Chops, Mickey and Jen meet the utterly charming June Sarpong; that's right, that excellent bird off of the telly from the golden age of youth TV. Also, broadcaster, campaigner and now author, as she's penned not one but two books: Diversify and The Power of Women. She tells us about both, about making society a better place, about how women are bloody smashing, and about how Vernon Kaye's accent baffled Hollywood stars on a weekly basis. Also contains some sort of Hollyoaks wormhole. It's a double helping of Chops this week, so make sure you check out Jen and Hannah's excellent chat with THAT Gina Miller. We guarantee you'll have a girl crush by about five minutes in. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
