With the FSU's backing, Lucy Connolly, jailed for a tweet about migrants that she posted following the Southport murders, has been fighting her 31-month sentence in the Court of Appeal. Although a verdict was expected on Thursday when the hearing concluded, the Court will now be providing a written judgement, somewhat vaguely scheduled for “as soon as possible”. Allison Pearson has written a powerful piece about the ongoing saga in the Telegraph. A member of the FSU's legal advisory council, Andrew Tettenborn, has written in Spiked about the European Commission's threat to bring legal proceedings against Ireland for allegedly failing to comply with a 2008 framework decision that seeks to criminalise Holocaust denial or trivialisation of the Holocaust or other crimes against humanity. As Andrew points out, Ireland has had hate speech laws of its own since 1989 and even imposed a law last year that increases the length of prison sentences for certain crimes that are proved to be motivated by hate. We end today's episode with a discussion around Helen Joyce's recent appearance on BBC Woman's Hour. ‘That's Debatable!'  is edited by Jason Clift.

Mark discusses the innate human desire to "keep up with the Joneses" with returning guest Samuel Wilson, who is an author and parent of two children: an 8-year old daughter (on the autism pathway, with Cerebral Palsy, Cerebral Visual Impairment and Sensory Processing Disorder) and a 5-year old son (suspected neurotypical). They discuss how unhelpful that can be in the early days of your diagnosis journey and how liberating it is when you finally let go of the expectations of being "normal" and embrace your family in all of their neuroshambolic glory.

In this juicy and informative episode, Jayda asks Ruby what changes she wants to see to sex education, why Ruby thinks we have to centre pleasure in sex ed and how talking about pleasure is necessary to truly teach about consent. Ruby discusses how not to talk about sex and pleasure though and the importance and complexity of age-appropriate conversations around sex. Ruby shares some fascinating insight into Dualism, and how the philosophy that has separated mind and body is also seeped in patriarchy and has prevented us from having a more holistic relationship with sex and intimacy. Ruby also shares how she is able to find common ground with people who don't feel queer or trans-inclusive and also the importance of allowing adults to say they don't understand something. They also discuss the fear-mongering around porn and how to engage in porn in a healthy way, and Jayda also asks Ruby about her experiences of being non-monogamous and Ruby's advice for anyone wanting to open up their relationship and explore non-monogamy but also feel like it would be too hard. They talk about how to navigate jealousy and the importance of accepting rather than fearing complex emotions.

About Helen What makes a woman? How far do bodies set our gender? Immaculate Forms focuses on the history of the breasts, clitoris, hymen and womb. I've worked on the history of medicine and the body for many years, following a PhD thesis on ancient Greek concepts of menstruation. Since then, I've published on the reception of ancient medical ideas about the female body, menstruation and birth up to the nineteenth century. It still amazes me that ancient ideas about women survived for so long, despite changes elsewhere in how the body was understood. I've held research fellowships in Cambridge and Newcastle, worked for 8 years in Liverpool, and then for 14 years at the University of Reading. In 2011 I became Professor of Classical Studies at the Open University and I am now Professor Emerita there. I've been a visiting lecturer at Mount Allison University, University of Victoria BC, and University of Texas, as well as a Fellow at the Netherland Institute for Advanced Studies, and a Visiting Professor at the Peninsula Medical School, where I taught the history of dissection to medical students. 'Illuminating, thoughtful and scholarly' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Mind-blowing, fascinating stuff' BBC WOMAN'S HOUR 'Delightful, timely and critical' Cat Bohannon, author of Eve 'With unrivaled expertise and a wealth of classical and contemporary detail, the author weaves historical knowledge of medicine, anatomy, literature, art and religion into a narrative that surprises, informs, excites and frequently amuses' Adrian Thatcher, author of Vile Bodies Throughout history, religious scholars, medical men and - occasionally - women themselves, have moulded thought on what 'makes' a woman. She has been called the weaker sex, the fairer sex, the purer sex, among many other monikers. Often, she has been defined simply as 'Not A Man'. Today, we are more aware than ever of the complex relationship between our bodies and our identities. But contrary to what some may believe, what makes a woman is a question that has always been open-ended. Immaculate Forms examines all the ways in which medicine and religion have played a gate-keeping role over women's organs. It explores how the womb was seen as both the most miraculous organ in the body and as a sewer; uncovers breasts' legacies as maternal or sexual organs - or both; probes the mystery of the disappearing hymen, and asks, did the clitoris need to be discover

Today on the show, we're talking about the history and power of hairdressing and how, as our guest Dr. Elizabeth Block puts it in her new book, how hair “contributed to the lived experiences of women.” Her new book Beyond Vanity: The History and Power of Hairdressing is out September 10 and looks at hair through an academic lens—and it's totally compelling. We get into the cultural impact of hair; why hair is, as the title suggests, something that is beyond vanity; how choosing a hairstyle or color is much deeper than surface level; hairdressers, wigs, salons, hair products, hair tools, hair length, and so much more. We dig into when people realized that hair as an entrepreneurial venture could be profitable, hair throughout history, and what historians like our guest today might say about our hair 100 years from now. Walking us through it all is Dr. Elizabeth Block, who teaches us that studying hair and its importance is anything but frivolous. She is an art historian and a senior editor in the publications and editorial department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. She is also the author of the award-winning Dressing Up: The Women Who Influenced French Fashion, and her work has appeared in Town & Country, Slate, BBC News, and BBC Woman's Hour, among other prestigious places. I'm excited for you to hear what she has to say as we dig in.   Beyond Vanity: The History and Power of Hairdressing by Dr. Elizabeth Block

It won The Guardian's Not The Booker Prize in 2017, was nominated for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel, and shortlisted for The Author's Club Best First Novel Award.  It has been translated into ten languages and Li is currently adapting it for the screen.  Her forthcoming second novel, “Complicit,” was sold in a six-figure pre-empt to Orion Fiction, and later, in a heated five-way auction to Emily Bestler at Atria Books for U.S. rights.  Li is also Co-Founder of the Clear Lines Festival, the UK's first-ever festival addressing sexual assault and consent through the arts and discussion.  Her ongoing doctoral research at the London School of Economics explores media engagement by rape survivors as a form of activism.  She has delivered over 150 public talks and appeared in TEDx London, The Guardian, The Mail on Sunday, The Times, The Independent, The LA Review of Books, The Chicago Tribune, The Irish Times, BBC World News, Sky News, Channel 4, and BBC Woman's Hour, among other media outlets.  She has an honorary doctorate from the National University of Ireland, in recognition of her writing and activism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Olga FitzRoy is a recording engineer and mixer. After a decade working her way up the ranks at AIR Studios, from tea-girl to mixing the music for the 2012 Olympics, she is now freelance, working on projects for Coldplay and mixing the music for The Crown. She was named Recording Engineer of the Year at the MPG awards 2016 and received an Ivors Academy Gold Badge Award in 2019. She was elected to the board of the UK Music Producers Guild (MPG) in 2019. After having her son, she founded the #SelfieLeave campaign, which aims to support freelance women when they have children, by campaigning for self-employed families to get shared parental leave. As a result of her lobbying, a bill was read in parliament and the government began a consultation on a change in the law. She was named no.11 in the BBC Woman's Hour Powerlist 2018 and won the Women In Music Campaigner of the Year award in 2019. She ran for parliament for the Labour Party in 2019 and has spent much of the pandemic campaigning for better support for those affected by the crisis, particularly engineers, producers, and recording studios. As a volunteer for the charity Pregnant Then Screwed, she led their campaign against mothers who have previously taken maternity leave receiving reduced COVID-support from the government. The result of this work is currently awaiting judgment in the Court of Appeal. She lives in London with her husband and 5-year-old son.  

In this episode I speak with Fran Bushe about her sexual journey. We discuss painful sex/vaginismus, lack of sexual enjoyment/orgasm, an array of methods that Fran has tried and where she is with her journey so far.   About Fran: Fran Bushe is an award-winning comedian, writer and performer. She has had sold-out runs of her multi-award winning show Ad Libido, and wrote The Diary of My Broken Vagina for Channel 4 Comedy in 2019. Fran has spent years ‘boning up' on sex. She has spoken with leading researchers, pleasure coaches and interviewed a growing number of people about their sexual experiences. It has also meant flustering many helpful members of staff at The British Library, with endless requests for books on the clitoris. She's popped crystals in her vagina, attended a vulva massage workshop and visited a sex camp where she had her ‘Yoni' (…vagina) worshipped. Her candid approach to discussing sex and pleasure has led to her speaking with BBC Woman's Hour, Cosmopolitan, The Sunday Times and Jameela Jamil's ‘I Weigh'. In 2018 she won Performer of the Year at the Sexual Freedom Awards (the statuette of which is a large golden winged phallus, which lives on her parents' mantlepiece).   Where to find Fran: My Broken Vagina by Fran Bushe | Waterstones Instagram - @franbushe   Where to find me: beckycrepsleyfox.com Instagram - @becky_crepsley_fox TikTok - @becky_crepsley_fox Clubhouse - @becky_c_fox Facebook - Becky Crepsley-Fox

The Luminaries Edition of the Balance Boldly Podcast is a dedication to outstanding WOMEN who inspire, influence, and ignite a better tomorrow with the courageous work they implement today! Today, Naketa Ren Thigpen welcomes Luminary Kenya Hunt, Author of Girl, Gurl, Grrrl and Fashion Director of Grazia UK. Kenya's career spans working for some of the media world's most influential women’s titles on both sides of the Atlantic from her post-graduate days as an Assistant Editor at the seminal magazine, Jane, to her years as Deputy Editor of ELLE UK. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Evening Standard, Vogue and other publications. In addition, she has made a number of appearances on BBC Woman’s Hour, Sky News and more. An American based in England, she lives south of the river in London with her husband and two sons. Against the backdrop of this rise in visibility of black women, I was watching us go from milestone to milestone when to win headline-to-headline, magazine cover to magazine cover, but at the same time encountering so many incredibly inspiring women through my work. “I wrote this book as a love letter to us” [Kenya Hunt 3:31] Key takeaways:· I wanted this book to really send her (black woman) joy, as if I wanted to send her the joyful aspects of being who we are, as well. Therefore, I mean, I really just hope that women will read it and feel seen and recognized, but just really reflect on the particularity of their own experiences. Kenya Hunt [6:12] · I wrote about the idea of black girl magic and black excellence in the chapter of my book called bad bitches, and how there is sometimes this perception of black girl magic being twinned with exceptionalism and excellence and that drive to be the headline makers. And there's beauty in that and there's power in that. Kenya Hunt [9:06] · There is a real power in recognizing the black excellence and the black magic in the every day. So if we did not just wake up in the morning in a global pandemic, manage to get our kids dressed for school, and get them off for the day. That is a moment of excellence and that's, that is worth really celebrating too. Kenya Hunt [9:36] More about Kenya Hunt In her new book, Girl Gurl Grrrl, Kenya Hunt (an American who moved to London and has called it home for the last decade) - unpacks what it means to be a black woman and girl. It's a timeless celebration of what it means to be a Black woman in today’s world. As a collection of essays, the opening essay discusses the variations of the word “girl”, how and why it’s used, and especially in relation to how Black women use this word. Kenya Hunt also takes an interesting angle as a fashion writer and unpacks the fashion industry as it stands through the eyes of a Black woman, and how being in the fashion industry often means she is the only Black woman in the room; and one of the few select women who can offer hope and wisdom to other women of color in the industry — and writes frankly about the exhaustion, and hope, that this brings.

Welcome to the second episode of The Making Of from The Female Lead. Our guest this week is the broadcaster, journalist and author Emma Barnett. We asked her to choose six key life moments that have made her who she is today. The list she came up with is full of surprises, and all delivered in her wonderful straight-talking style. Our conversation covered a lot of ground - Emma's naughty school days, her burning ambition, struggles with fertility, dealing with IVF and the agony of endometriosis. It sounds heavy, but Emma always delivers even the most painful stories with a big helping of irreverent humour.  The episode was recorded during lockdown, over zoom, so please bear with us as some bits may sound a little wobbly. That's the new normal! Emma Barnett is an award-winning journalist and broadcaster.  She presents The Emma Barnett Show on BBC Radio 5 Live, where she has gained a reputation as a fearless political interviewer. She's also one of the regular Newsnight hosts and has just announced that in January 2021 she will be taking over the national treasure that is BBC Woman's Hour. Emma and her radio show have won a string of industry awards, with Emma named Radio Broadcaster of the Year 2018 by the Broadcasting Press Guild and Broadcaster of the Year 2017 by the Political Studies Association. Prior to joining the BBC, Emma worked in newspapers, while cutting her broadcasting teeth at LBC. In 2019 Emma launched her first book, Period: About Bloody Time, which examines the taboos around menstruation. The book was inspired by the major reaction she received after announcing she was on her period while debating on Sky News, and her own recent diagnosis with endometriosis. The book looks at the history of myths and misconceptions about periods,  tells women's untold stories and aims to instil a sense of period pride in both women and men. * If you think you might be suffering from Endometriosis here is a good place to find out more. As Emma says on this podcast: if you're suffering from period pain do try to find answers. https://www.endometriosis-uk.org/ * The Making Of is hosted by Bea Appleby and is edited by Lauren Lind. The production is brought to you by The Female Lead And the whole series is very kindly sponsored by Missoma

By age sixty-four, Jenni Murray's weight had become a disability. The broadcaster and author avoided the scales, wore a uniform of baggy black clothes and refused to make connections between her weight and health issues. A successful author and the host of BBC Woman’s Hour, Murray appeared to have it all, but in private she lived with a growing fear that she wouldn’t even make it to seventy. In this episode, she speaks to Kathy Sheridan about the life changing surgery which helped her lose eight stone in less than a year and why she decided to document her weight loss journey in the new book, Fat Cow, Fat Chance. This latest offering from Murray is a refreshingly honest account of what it’s like to be fat when society dictates that skinny is the norm.

“Ana” (not her real name) lives in Georgia and is a single mother with two children of her own. She has also given birth to two other children for couples who couldn’t carry them themselves. In return, she received a payment. In Georgia, commercial surrogacy is legal but it carries a stigma so great that Ana didn’t even tell members of her own family what she was doing. She spent the final months of her pregnancy almost entirely behind closed doors. Just a few months ago Ana was carrying a baby for Patrick and Enitan, they’re from Zimbabwe and Nigeria respectively and live in Canada, around 8,500 km away from Ana, but their connection belies that distance. Throughout the pregnancy Ana, Patrick and Enitan would talk over the internet. They told us, “It was beautiful from the first time we talked to her.” Ana would send them photos of her growing belly and then, nine months later, she would deliver them a baby boy.

I talk about life as a British Born Chinese (BBC); from family life, to work, dating, relationships, food, racism, and general culture. In this episode I talk about how I had an uncomfortable yet productive conversation with my mum surrounding Black Lives Matter. Dating as a feminist, How LinkedIn is racist, my experiences of casual racism at work, how asian societal pressure from our family plays into feminism, such getting married, obtaining a good job, being slim, but also eating enough food when told too lol. Links to what we discussed: Over the Moon Trailer https://www.netflix.com/title/80214236 A really interesting article of Asian Feminism: https://planamag.com/what-does-asian-feminism-mean-to-me/ BBC Woman's Hour https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007qlvb Slide into my DMs and keep the conversation going! https://www.instagram.com/vivthediv/ Jingle by the talented John Clapper: https://www.instagram.com/john_clapper

Maggy Pigott CBE Maggy was a pioneer of flexible working, joining the Government Legal Service, and working part-time from the early 1980s. In 1988 she was one of the first in Government, (and other sectors), to job-share and continued for 23 years, in seven jobs, including non-legal, policy, operational, and judicial appointments roles. With the same partner, Judith Killick, throughout, their last post was Joint CEO of the training organisation for the judiciary. On retiring they were thrilled to receive a CBE for their contribution to the administration of justice and for promoting, helping others, and role modelling job-sharing in the Civil Service.  Maggy continues to be a staunch advocate of the benefits of flexible working and job-sharing, including on social media and radio (for example, on BBC Woman's Hour). She also highly recommends this way of working in her 2019 book ‘How to Age Joyfully: Eight Steps to a Happier, Fuller Life' which has been endorsed by health and ageing experts – and the foreword by Dame Judi Dench!    Twitter: Age Joyfully @AgeingBetter; Maggy Pigott @MaggyPigott Maggy's book: “How to Age Joyfully” - Amazon.ca https://amz.run/3F5l LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maggy-pigott-cbe-frsa-86684031/   Fascinating tidbits from the conversation with Maggy: 9:53: Very insightful definition of the “success of the job share”: People would call us the wrong names – they could not distinguish between us (even though we look very different)   14:14: Job sharing does not work for everyone. Key things to make it work: One has to be prepared to trust the other person Never unpick the other half – always move forward Good communication Partnership: Similar values & attitude to work Commitment Support by the organizational culture No big ego: You share the glory and the mistakes   21:26: Job sharing is a very advanced form of teamwork.   32:50: Best evidence of the success of a job share: It happened twice when we left one of our 7 jobs, we were replaced by two full-timers.    

Marianne Craig is a master coach and the co-founder of Firework Coaching Company, home of the renowned and proven Firework framework for helping people change career. From a young age, Marianne realised the value of questioning everything, but that only started to become her profession in the midst of what Marianne calls a fulfillment crisis. She was listening to BBC Woman's Hour in 1999 when she heard a coach speaking. By the end of the programme she was already calling the helpline: she knew it was what she wanted to do for a living.Since then, she has racked up thousands of hours of coaching, founding Firework in 2003, becoming an ICF accredited Master Coach in 2005 and forming many other collaborations including Mirus Coaching for Social Change, Mentor Coaches International and a new project providing pro bono coaching to Extinction Rebellion activists.With 25 years' experience as a business owner, coach and consultant she works with people who are at a life or career crossroads. Her specialism is supporting clients to find meaningful and fulfilling work.In this episode, we talk about:- How, as a working class little girl on a council estate near Glasgow, she first learned about her sense of agency in the world.- How she created the renowned Firework Career Coaching Framework, started Firework Coaching Company and later sold it.- Why she has never got bored of her work with people changing careers.- What she thinks makes a great website for a coach (as one of the first people to have a coaching website) and how to launch it.- How she tried every kind of marketing in existence and what she learned from that experimentation (and what she recommends you do so you don't have to experiment with everything).Plus, starting from Marianne's bugbears about the coaching industry, we get into a fascinating conversation about the morals and ethics of coaching, and ask questions like, is the end is near for ‘the client's agenda' and ‘where were the coaches when the banks went down'?For more information about Marianne, visit: https://www.coachlifeandcareer.com/ or http://www.mentor-coach.com/For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):~4: James Bianco and the Coach's Journey episode with James: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-5-james-bianco-beware-your-simple-stories-about-coaching-success~5: Laura Berman Fortgang: https://laurabermanfortgang.com/~10: Coach U: https://www.coachu.com/~30 and ~37: Firework: https://www.fireworkcoaching.com/~38: Kate Edmunds: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/kate-edmonds-5aa25516~39: CTI: https://coactive.com/~40: Careershifters: http://www.careershifters.org/~40: My temping colleague, Amy, and her awesome vintage dress company, Clarence and Alabama: https://www.clarenceandalabama.co.uk/~41: Richard Alderson: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/richardalderson~54: Marianne's ebook, So You Want To Become A Coach - A Guide to Training and Skills for Life and Business Coaching: http://www.mentor-coach.com/become_a_life_coach.htm~55: The ICF (International Coaching Federation) and their levels of credential, ACC, PCC and MCC: https://www.coachfederation.org.uk/credentialing/credential_path~56: Academy of Coaching Supervision: https://coachingsupervisionacademy.com/~58: ICF International events: https://coachfederation.org/events/icf-converge-2019~82: Sir John Whitmore and his book Coaching For Performance: https://www.performanceconsultants.com/coaching-for-performance-book~82: Association for Coaching: https://www.associationforcoaching.com/~90: Climate Change Coaches: https://www.climatechangecoaches.com/~93: Mirus Coaching for Social Change and Alma Neville~94: Robert Holden: https://www.robertholden.com/~110: Exeter Street Hall, the new community centre where Marianne is a trustee: https://exeterstreethall.org/

“The great under-discussed factor in the climate crisis is there are just too many of us, and we use too much shit.” Comedian and social critic Bill Maher said it well. Yes, our profligate lifestyles have a big carbon footprint. And if they do, then the number of footprints makes a big difference, and it is undoubtedly “under-discussed.” So, in this episode, we discuss it. We also give a big shout-out to Jane Garvey and Anna Lacey of BBC Woman’s Hour. Their radio program/podcast is a gleaming (and rare) example of mainstream media treating the overpopulation topic from an informed perspective, with integrity. Link below. Plus: Don’t you think the One Planet, One Child Billboard Campaign is worthy of perhaps $1 billion of support from the new $10 billion Bezos Earth Fund? If you bump into him in the steam room, let him know. We wouldn’t turn down a contribution from Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffet, Richard Branson or Michael Bloomberg, either!   DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: One Planet, One Child Billboard Campaign Programs and Studies Getting it Right: Reproduction and the Carbon Legacies of IndividualsOregon State University study The Climate Mitigation GapLund University research letter Worksheets from the Lund University work Project Drawdown Solutions List Jeff Bezos Commits $10 Billion to New Bezos Earth Fund Bill Maher: Masturbate, Don't Procreate (“The great under-discussed factor in the climate crisis is there are just too many of us….”) BBC Woman’s Hour: Would You Stop Having Kids to Save the Planet?

Our mission is to chart a path for human civilization that – rather than causing greater misery – enables good lives on a healthy planet. We advocate and support a smaller, truly sustainable human population – through dramatic and voluntary reduction in birth rates.  We envision a world where no one suffers in dire poverty and misery for lack of enough food, water, and other basic needs. We see a world where all species thrive and where lower consumption and population are in balance with Earth’s finite resources.

Emma Gannon is my definition of a rockstar. She’s a writer and broadcaster, and each of those descriptors are umbrellas under which she does many things. Her podcast, Ctrl Alt Delete (named after her first book), is one of my absolute favorite podcasts. She’s an insightful conversationalist, an incredible listener, unapologetically opinionated and each step of her career proves just how adaptable she is. She’s also a regular on BBC Woman’s Hour and she was selected as one of Forbes 30 under 30 in media. The very fact that it takes more than one word or phrase to describe what she does gets to the heart of what she represents. It's also how she’s reaching so many people, why I can relate to her journey, and is the inspiration for her latest book, just released last week -- “The Multi-Hyphen Method.” (This episode continues my month of interviewing authors - thanks for your suggestions!) In this episode, we talk about gut and instinct and how to tune into that to direct your path. We discuss mentors, getting out of your own head, and we acknowledge that we’re probably all going through a similar thing. We also talk about the importance of finding your own version of success. It was a joy to have her on the other microphone for this episode. I so enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you do, too! --meet emma-- @emmagannonuk - instagram @emmagannon - twitter ctrl alt delete - podcast --keep it quirky-- @keepitquirkypodcast - instagram @qkatie - katie quinn on instagram & twitter www.youtube.com/theakatie www.facebook.com/theqkatie See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Should you eat McDonald's? Debate starts at 20:29. Mike Gamms (https://www.facebook.com/mikegammscomedy/) joins us for some debate fuckery this week as I get roped into DEFENDING McDonald's! For years I've been shitting on McDonald's, from their Ailing Vomit (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=lovin_it) campaign to this old article from 1999 (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=mccrap). So it came as somewhat of a surprise when Gamms brought in my own arguments against me. I suspected something was up when I didn't get a clear answer which side he'd be debating beforehand. No matter, because being a master debater, I defended McDonald's with aplomb. Maybe too convincingly? Watch the video version here at Madcast Media Network YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChMUFeIZ1l9uRJ4bIXuAKDg?sub_confirmation=1 Here's the crew from this week: https://www.instagram.com/p/BY1k4FcFlUm/ Rucka (https://www.youtube.com/user/itsRucka) got called out hard for roasting a monk last episode. We also had a heated debate about clam chowder and bread bowls at the top of the show. Rucka claims that you pay upwards of $8 extra for a bread bowl. I looked up the price of a regular bowl vs bread bowl of clam chowder at a restaurant called "The Chowder Barge." Looks like it's only $3 more. Worth it? https://rss.madcastmedia.com/bestdebate/66/e66_chowder.jpg Mikey Bolts (https://twitter.com/MikeyBolts) is back from Play List Live this week, and in good form. Mikey happens to be an ardent fan of McDonald's, and it was fun watching the confused looks on his face as I argued against myself from years ago. I could tell what he really wanted to eat: SOME GREEK BAKLAVA. Or maybe that was just me. (still is) Bonus episode #3 is coming soon, but you can purchase #2 from iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/maddox-vs-the-universe-2/id1233454674), Amazon (http://amzn.to/2qWhDCQ) and our own website: https://madcastmedia.com/shows/maddoxvsuniverse/2/ Also, a big you're-welcome to everyone who pre-ordered my book: F*CK WHALES: Petty Essays from a Brilliant Mind. The countdown has begun. October 17. Clear your year. Clear your life: http://amzn.to/2oiF2xi We round out the episode with a story about a Tinder date that ended with the woman getting stuck between two windows to retrieve an ill-conceived turd. This may have been Rucka's favorite news story. Plus a bunch of nurses wanted to look at a cadaver's junk. Who cares? Their bosses, apparently. Drawling Ozzie, email me. Voicemail number below.

Juno Dawson is the multi award-winning author of ten books. In 2014 Juno became a School Role Model for the charity STONEWALL. In 2016, she authored the best-selling World Book Day title: SPOT THE DIFFERENCE. Her latest novel is the beautiful and emotive MARGOT & ME (which came out in January in 2017) and her memoir THE GENDER GAMES is out now. In 2015, Juno announced her intention to undergo gender transition and live as a woman. On the cover of The Gender Games it says "the problem with men and woman - from someone who has been both." This book isn't just about how the conversation around gender is screwing over trans people (which it certainly is), it's messing with everyone. Little girls who are told they can't be doctors, men who can't cry because they feel they shouldn't, exclusionist feminism and the alt-right. Juno is a regular contributor to Attitude Magazine, Glamour Magazine, The Guardian and has been on BBC Woman’s Hour, ITV News, This Morning and Newsnight concerning sexuality, identity and education.
