SIM Ep 870 Pod 262: Teenage dreams, midlife joys, and yippee-ki-yay, melon farmers!

Cora Bissett isn’t just a woman of a whole load of talents, she's also a total smasher, so Hannah was delighted to natter about her award-winning show, What Girls Are Made Of. Returning to the Edinburgh Fringe for a third-time, it charts Cora’s time in early 90s indie band Darlingheart, so she and Hannah talk about the music industry then, the music industry now and being a teenager in a band. Mick’s been on the Zoom with award-winning journalist and editor, author, podcast host and midlife expert Lorraine Candy, to talk about the magnificence waiting to be unlocked in a woman’s midlife, how we unlock it, and what the feck’s going to happen to our gums. And in Rated or Dated, it’s Christmas in July as we watch 1988’s Die Hard. Yippee-ki-yay, listeners! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
