SIM Ep 188, Pod 57: Kindness, kicking and being a complete Aisling

This week the team talk trying not to be a prick with comedian Juliette Burton, whose show Butterfly Effect charts her personal journey to connect with her fellow (wo)man via random acts of kindness. Jen has a natter with Kelly Simmons, Director of the Woman’s Professional Game at the Football Association, as well as bona fide Lioness and Reading midfielder Fara Williams, about what football fans have to look forward to over the next few years. And Hannah chats to publishing sensations and authors of Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling, Emer McLysaght Sarah Breen. Plus get a sneaky peek of this week’s upcoming Sunday Chops in which Mick talks to comedian and disability activist Barbara Lisicki about her long-running involvement in the campaign for disability rights.
