Up to half of women will have a UTI at some point in their life.

Colin Jackson has spent his life hurdling one thing or another, be it breaking world records, or down barriers, the Olympian turned broadcaster continues to inspire the next generation of athletes. He's written for The Kumars at No. 42, and Goodness Gracious Me, now Suk Pannu reveals how his 'Asian aunties' inspired his new book 'Mrs Sidhu: Dead and Scone' and why cosy culinary crime may be the next big thing. She's traversed the famous Lands' End to John O' Groats route, climbed Kilimanjaro, and recently completed a 1,000 mile cycle around the coastline of Scotland - all in the memory of her three late children, who sadly all passed away in their 40s, from unrelated causes. But, what sets Mavis apart - is she's 85 years old - and with two hip and knee replacements she has earned the nickname Bionic Grannie Mave. All that plus the Inheritance Tracks of comedian and actor and star of new BBC comedy 'Juice'; Mawaan Rizwan. Presenters: Nikki Bedi and Olly Mann Producer: Ben Mitchell

This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by returning guest Nick Estes and former guest host Shanti Singh for a deep dive into the past, present and future of extraterrestrial visitation.   Nick is a member of the Oceti Sakowin Oyate nation, Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota, a cofounder of The Red Nation, and cohost of TRN's flagship podcast. He is also lead editor at Red Media, the author of Our History is the Future: Standing Rock versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance, and coauthor of Red Nation Rising: From Bordertown Violence to Native Liberation.   Shanti is an organizer with the San Francisco chapter of Democratic Socialists of America and previously served as deputy data director for the 2020 Bernie Sanders campaign in California. She is currently the Legislative and Communications Director for Tenants Together, the first and only statewide tenant advocacy organization in California.   After catching listeners up on some of their recent adventures, Nick and Shanti share their takes on Posadism, going to Mars, Blink-182, Stonehenge, Alien vs. Predator, Scully vs. Mulder, as well as the gold standard of problematic UFO lore, History Channel's Ancient Aliens.    The gang also discusses well-known UFO reports pre- and post-Roswell, the US national security state's history of manipulating alien conspiracy theories to cover up its own black operations, and whether this explains the revelations since 2017 of the military's close encounters.   Follow Nick on that one website @nickwestes and Shanti @uhshanti.  If you want to support the show and receive access to tons of bonus content, subscribe on our Patreon for as little as $5 a month.
