SIM Ep 249 Pod 79: We need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle

That’s right, Terminator 2 gets the Dunleavy Does Dystopia treatment in this week’s episode. Hold onto your trousers, Arnie fans. There are more bikes, too, as Jen chats to Caroline Folmer, bad-ass cyclist and member of the Donnons des Elles au Velo, who, if you’re not aware of them, are the female cyclists tackling the 21-stage, 3,351km track of the Tour de France. Because it’s NO WOMEN ALLOWED in the actual race. Fucksake. Mick catches up with US journalist and author Lisa Taddeo about her remarkable new book, Three Women, which explores female desire by charting the intimate lives of three real American women, and poet and playwright Marika McKennell tells the team about her work in pupil referral units and her new play E8, heading up to the Edinburgh Fringe next month. Over in the Bush Telegraph and SOTW, Trump’s not down on his country’s history, Georgie Boy Osborne couldn’t spell impostor syndrome if it was his job to do so, and the Dalai Lama’s ruining men’s rights’ hashtags.
