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.
