SIM Ep 548 Pod 172: Widows, Twitter fame and a poor, neglected cat

SIM Ep 548 Pod 172: Widows, Twitter fame and a poor, neglected cat

Since that infamous council meeting went viral earlier this year, Jackie Weaver's life both has and hasn't changed. She chats to Hannah about her new book You Do Have The Authority Here, her new podcast, and good-old local politics. Jen's been on the phone to Kat Lister to talk about being widowed young and why she decided to write about it in her memoir The Elements. Jenny Off The Blocks looks at the rise of Fallon Sherrock, and in Rated or Dated, we're watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Nice to spot you, Brucie, to spot you nice. And in the Bush Telegraph, we're talking about Nicky Minaj's cousin's friend's swollen balls, because the world hasn't talked about them quite enough this week.
