SIM Ep 240 Pod 76: Shit therapy, crap laws, but some Calman sunshine at the end of the tunnel

This week we catch up with mental health writer Michelle Thomas about her debut book My Shit Therapist. Frances Ridout, director of the Legal Advice Centre at Queen Mary University London, pops by to tell us about the work she’s doing to help victims of image-based sexual abuse. There’s a sneaky taster of this week’s Sunday Chops with the absolute smasher that is Susan Calman, who's talking to Mick about her book Sunny Side Up. There’s peak Trump, good news/bad news over at Nike, and some Nigey nonsense in the Bush Telegraph, leopard print barnets and football fever in Jenny off the Blocks, and Dunleavy Does Dystopia watches Demolition Man.
