26: I’m so sorry, I’m English

Moya has a big theory for Ash – but the script goes out the window when they start talking about the far-right violence engulfing the UK and unpacking their own emotional reactions to English racism. After that: playing matchmaker with the first batch of Missed Connections.

Content note: This episode includes discussion of racist language and violence.

Remember, we’ll be at the London Podcast Festival on 15th September with a very special guest. Grab your tickets now from kingsplace.co.uk.

Email your missed connections and dilemmas to ifispeak@novaramedia.com
