Standard Issue Podcast

Sure, the news is all about the Middle East, but what else is going on? Quite a bit. In this week's Bush Telegraph, Hannah and Jen talk about how "baby brain" is actually good for women, the Telegraph's literally unbelievable school fees story, good news about homelessness in Wales, and sexism in the workplace. And in Jenny Off The Blocks, there's ice hockey, tennis and football.

Other questions addressed include: how’s Hannah feeling about Scott Glenn; does the film have feminist credentials; what’s with the stereotyping, and how much ham is simply too much ham for Jen’s mum Cath? Fffffffffffffff. Etc.

If the ongoing furore surrounding last week's Baftas has proved anything, it's how poorly understood Tourette Syndrome still is. Hannah chats to campaigner, comedian and the woman behind Touretteshero, Jess Thom, about living with oppositional tics, why everyone supports the disabled community (until they don't), and how the vital Access to Work scheme is being neglected.
