SIM Ep 945 Pod 294: Good sisters, bad sisters, and some rebirth

Writer and Standard Issue fave Kerry Hudson is back with brand-new memoir, Newborn, the follow-up to her previous work, Lowborn. In this week’s podzine, Hannah jumps on the Zoom to talk with Kerry about class, social mobility, money and why you can't air fry your way out of poverty. A self-professed Mary Shelley “obsessive”, our Jen was delighted when news of Lesley McDowell’s new novel Clairmont, landed in her inbox. She and Lesley chat about why its namesake Clair Clairmont remains little known, as well as historical fiction, the Shelleys, and those dastardly Romantics. Meanwhile, will Mick ever stop being sick in her own mouth in response to this week’s Rated or Dated, 1999's The Other Sister? Find out. Learn more about your ad choices.
