It's *What the Frock?*, where no topic is too strange to discuss!

Alex goes on a (very calm and reasoned) MEGA RANT about the mass hysteria over a Labour peer giving a make-over to the top team for the election campaign. You don't expect to have the book thrown at you, when you do everything strictly by that book. "We have a comically unserious top tier of political journalists. Most of them have spent the last fourteen years, in a scandal-rich environment, with their volume permanently on 11, where they filled all the air time and column inches they wanted with anonymous briefing, court intrigue, screengrabs of WhatsApp groups, and very little actual journalism." "Starmer's cardinal sin is that he is not Corbyn. He is someone who has dirtied himself by winning power. Nothing will ever placate the left of the Labour party." "The right wing is using this confected outrage as a tool to reframe their own rule-breaking and venality of the last decade, through false equivalence. This is especially so for Johnson fans - both individuals and newspapers. There is a huge effort to whitewash BoJo's failure hanging on this peg."  Find us on Facebook and Twitter as @quietriotpod and on Bluesky. Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com.

Close your eyes. Imagine waking up tomorrow with no car, no clothes, no money and no family members to call. How does that feel? You and I probably can't come close to knowing-- unless we actually go through it--what it's like, but many women who've just been released from prison know that exact reality. Imagine being a single mother trying to get to work but you don't have money to put gas in your car because you spent the last of your money on asthma medication for your daughter and on rent. While it's sad that this reality exists, it is hopeful to know that people like my guest this week Linda Armstrong Loop are advocating for and helping to empower these women to work toward their own independence and success. Linda is the executive director of Dress for Success Luzerne County that is helping women, not only with clothing for job interviews and living, but the skills they need to secure and keep a job. And through their Project Clean Break, they are helping women in prison with workshops on life and professional skills and necessities for when they're released from prison. Forget the frocks from the back of your closet, Linda recommends new or only gently used clothes from the past year or two, or a monetary donation to help the nonprofit pay expenses and keep doing the work they do. Follow Dress for Success of Luzerne County on Instagram and Facebook for more news and to learn about upcoming fundraising events!

I see now why it's the divine feminine ~ Apollo's Frock (23 August 2005 - Saratoga Springs, NY)

This is Part Two of my chat with Sam Baines, my first guest for Season 6 of the podcast, and a woman that I've know for a few years after she was shortlisted at the inaugural International Women's Podcast Awards back in 2021. It's fitting that she's first this season, because she's been the first woman to do a few other things too. Sam is an award-winning comedian, podcaster, author, actor, broadcaster and general legend. In 2014 she won the Funny Women Awards, and subsequently went on to scoop of the 2015 ‘What the Frock' Best Newcomer Award. But that's not all. As an adult, Sam experienced hearing loss, and is now a deaf activist, hearing aid wearer, and an ambassador for the RNID.She's written two children's books, Harriet Versus The Galaxy and The Night The Moon Went Out, and she tells me in this conversation about how she got her first book deal (spoiler alert: she wrote it without an official offer). Her new book, Living With Hearing Loss and Deafness, is available to pre-order now. As well as all this, she's got an award-winning podcast, The Divorce Social, discussing, surprise, surprise, divorce, and her acting credits include The Crown, Call the Midwife, and Magic Mike Live in the West End. There is nothing this woman can't do.We covered SO much ground in this chat, which was recorded aaaages ago live at The Podcast Show - basically I had to give myself a good kick up the arse to get the podcast moving again in 2023, so that's entirely on me. There was so much good stuff that I cut it in two. This is part two. Enjoy.
