SIM Ep 536 Pod 167: Billie Holiday, accidental up the duffery and terror everywhere

SIM Ep 536 Pod 167: Billie Holiday, accidental up the duffery and terror everywhere

It’s an epic challenge for our resident music expert Liz Buckley in this week podzine, as Mick asks her to cram as much info about the incredible Billie Holiday’s jam-packed short life into a 15-minute chat. Start your clocks now... Meanwhile, Jen’s been on the Zoom with journalist and writer Sophie Heawood about her excellent book The Hungover Games, and the trials and tribulations of getting accidentally knocked up. And in Jenny Off The Blocks, she is, as ever, rounding up the latest news in women's sport. We won’t beat around the Bush Telegraph, it’s a particularly bleak news week – but you probably already knew that. Hopefully some interesting chat and very angry vaginas will cheer you up, as the team give 1986’s Aliens the Rated or Dated treatment.
