SIM Ep 441 Pod 132: Menopause, money and wearing your shorts over your trackie bottoms

SIM Ep 441 Pod 132: Menopause, money and wearing your shorts over your trackie bottoms

It's been a while since we've had the boss - Sarah Millican - on the podcast, but this week she has some exciting news to share. But that's not all we have to offer in this episode. Hannah chats to journalist and Loose Woman Kaye Adams about Still Hot, the collection of essays about the menopause she's co-edited with Vicky Allan, and why some of us are most definitely in denial. Mickey talks to serial entrepreneur Shaa Wasmund about business in the time of Covid, why women aren’t getting the breaks, and why class representation is key. In the Bush Telegraph, we're talking Page 3 dreams (?) and when bullying should absolutely be called bullying. And in Rated or Dated, we’re admiring the fashion choices but not so much the plotting as we watch 1985’s The Goonies. Have at it. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.
