SIM Ep 228 Pod 72: Understanding, rejoicing and (blade) running

With Westminster’s political bin-fire still burning bright, Mick caught up with Belfast-based journalist and author Siobhan Fenton to find out how it's affecting what’s going on in Northern Ireland. The team had a natter with writer Bella Heesom about her new play, Rejoicing At Her Wondrous Vulva The Young Woman Applauded Herself, and why we should all be celebrating our lady bits a lot more. Jen chats to terrific hockey birds Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh about the BBC’s plans to #ChangeTheGame and the forthcoming summer of women’s sport, and all eyes – human and/or replicant – on Blade Runner in Dunleavy Does Dystopia. Contains flying cars. Meanwhile in the Bush Telegraph, there’s more Twitter twattery and some covert whales. Really. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.
