SIM Ep 151 Pod 49: Diaries, dystopia and delightful schemes

New Wednesday, new podcast (let's make that a saying, eh?) and this week we've got loads of goodness for you. Mickey goes to Glasgow Women's Library to find out more about this valuable resource for women's history. And does a quiz from a Jackie annual. Natch. Hannah meets playwright Dawn King to chat about the West End debut of her award winner Foxfinder, as well as writing dystopia and the barriers for women in theatre. Author Stella Duffy drops by to inspire us to start our own Fun Palace (she's very persuasive) and Jen meets GB wheelchair basketball star Sophie Paterson to talk wheelchair basketball and charity Path To Success which is helping to support women in disability sport.
