It has been a year since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan. The country is in economic crisis, there are droughts and the lives of women and girls have been impacted hugely. We hear from the first female deputy speaker for the Afghanistan Parliament Fawzia Koofi, the former Women's Minister Hasina Safi and Samira Sayed Rahman, from the International Rescue Committee. They will discuss access to education for girls and what role the international community should play. We had Beatlemania in the sixties and then and fans of Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, K-Pop's BTS and Beyonce. But what is a fangirl? We discuss a subculture of women that have often been ridiculed and marred as hysterical, obsessive, juvenile and embarrassing and ask whether fangirls have been misunderstood? We hear from playwright and songwriter, Yve Blake who has created the award-winning musical ‘FANGIRLS' that's currently touring at Sydney Opera House and Hannah Ewens, a music writer at Rolling Stone, a former fan girl and author of ‘Fan girls: Scenes from Modern Music Culture'. New research shows increasing numbers of young women in the UK are suffering injuries and other health problems because of the growing popularity of anal sex among straight couples. Increased rates of faecal incontinence and anal sphincter injury have been reported in women who have anal intercourse according to a report recently published in the British Medical Journal. We hear from one of the authors of the report - Lesley Hunt who is a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - and also from Claudia Estcourt from the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV. If you're a mother in Russia and have ten children, you'll now be rewarded by the President. That's because Vladimir Putin is bringing back the “Mother Heroine” award which Joseph Stalin introduced in 1944 to encourage large families after tens of millions Soviet citizens died in the Second World War. This time around, women will get a one-off payment of one million roubles - that's £13,500 - after their tenth child is one years old, as long as the other nine children are still alive. Mothers will also get gold medals with the Russian flag on and the country's coat of arms. Dr Jenny Mathers is a Senior Lecturer of International Politics at Aberystwyth University, and an expert on Russian politics and security. We have a performance of ‘I do this all the time' from the artist Self Esteem And pockets - do you get overjoyed when you realise your dress has pockets, and do you get angry when you realise those new pair of jeans have fake ones? Data tells us that the majority of women want pockets on our clothes but don't always get them. Comedian Tiff Stevenson tells us about her love for pockets. Fashion historian Amber Butchart delves into the fascinating history of women's pockets - from tie round the waist bags to the Suffragette suit, she explains how pockets have evolved over time influenced by surrounding, politics and cultures.

The British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith had to stop running at the European Championships this week because of cramp. She said it was because of her period, and now she's calling for more research into periods and sporting performance. Hepatahlon Olympic Bronze medallist Kelly Sotherton comes onto the programme, as well as Dr Richard Burden who's co-lead on Female Health & Performance at the English Institute of Sport We talk to Sharon Horgan and Eve Hewson, about a new black comedy series they're in called Bad Sisters. It's all about five Irish sisters, and four of them hate their brother-in-law. They're desperate for the fifth sister to be rid of him. What will they do? We speak to Lena Kulakovska, who escaped Ukraine when she was 36 weeks pregnant and is now safely settled in Devon. She's just had a baby daughter, so what are her plans for her and her three young children? We hear once again from listener Titania. She sent us an email when we put the call out to tell us how it feels to reach the age your Mum was when she died. We hear her story. And we start a new series about fangirls. This week we go beyond the stereotype of the hysterical girl who's obsessed with someone famous. We ask instead what does being a fan bring to your life? We're joined by playwright and songwriter, Yve Blake, who's created the award-winning musical FANGIRLS and Hannah Ewens, a writer at Rolling Stone, former fangirl and author of Fangirls: Scenes from Modern Music Culture.

What do Mount Franklin bottles and Harry Styles have in common? Fangirls. Courtney meets playwright, screenwriter, songwriter, and beloved creator of the hit musical Fangirls, Yve Blake. They chat about her overnight success, the Fangirls of Fangirls, and the sacred Mount Franklin bottle that touched Missy Higgins' lips.For more Sydney Opera House podcasts, visit sydneyoperahouse.com/digital/podcasts or your favourite podcast platform.-- Hosted on Acast.

Hi friends, Were you a fangirl? Do you remember getting mocked by your parents or peers for enjoying pop music while your brothers and Dad were just considered passionate for crying when their AFL team lost? Us too. That’s why we’re so excited to chat with the creator of Fangirls the musical, Yve Blake. The joyful, energetic and thoughtful musical is all about what it’s like to be a teenage fangirl. While the show has now (sadly) left Melbourne, we spoke to Yve about why she decided to champion teenage girls, how she wrote a musical with no training, and the importance of putting together a truly diverse cast. We definitely recommend Yve’s Ted Talk ‘For the Love of Fangirls’ which you can watch on YouTube. You can follow Yve herself on Instagram at @yveblakeIndia Raine is our wonderful producer and composer of our jingle.

Jasmine references this ABC report and this BBC article.Jas recommends the podcast Why Are We So Obsessed With Productivity?  by Educated Messes: Mental Health, Relationships, Work & Well-Being while Maggie recommends the book Small Beauty by Jiaqing Wilson Yang. In a Culture Club first, we BOTH recommend Fangirls Musical a musical created by Yve Blake and directed by Paige Rattray.

Quand vous pensez à des groupies, qu'est-ce qui vous vient à l'esprit : de grands bandes de fans (généralement pour un boys band) dont les sentiments culminent en larmes et en cris de joie ? Peut-être grimacez-vous et levez-vous les yeux au ciel à cette idée. Dans cette intervention amusante et pleine de vie, la dramaturge Yve Blake nous demande de réévaluer notre réaction face à la passion et au pouvoir incompris des groupies, soulignant pourquoi nous devrions tous accepter notre propre enthousiasme débridé.

Quando se pensa nas “fangirls”, o que vem à mente: uma grande extensão de fãs (geralmente de uma “boy band”), cujos sentimentos culminam em lágrimas e gritos de alegria? Talvez você faça uma careta ou revire os olhos só de pensar. Nesta palestra divertida e animada, a dramaturga Yve Blake nos convida a repensar nosso julgamento sobre a paixão e o poder incompreendidos das “fangirls”, destacando por que todos nós devemos abraçar esse nosso entusiasmo incontido.

팬들을 생각했을때, 가장 처음 생각하는게 뭔가요? 함께 울고 웃고 소리 지르며 즐거워 하는 큰 팬덤들? 또는 당신은 이걸 생각하면서 찡그렸을수도 있겠죠. 이번 강연에서 이브 블래이크는 여러분께 이런 여자 팬들을 잘못 이해한 우리의 반응을 다시 생각해 보게 하며, 왜 우리가 한없는 열의를 받아 들여야 하는 이유를 제시해 줍니다.

When you think of fangirls, what comes to mind: large swaths of fandom (usually for a boyband) whose feelings culminate in tears and joyful screams? Perhaps you grimace or roll your eyes at the thought. In this fun, lively talk, playwright Yve Blake asks us to reevaluate our reaction to the misunderstood passion and power of fangirls, emphasizing why we should all embrace our own unbridled enthusiasm.

Jahan discusses the concept of fangirls, obsession and our culture's response to female passion with Yves Blake, a playwright, actress and TedX speaker.

Our first woman!* Yve swung by for a cup of tea, a granola tile and a chat with Nate and I. Growing up, Yve wanted to be an actor, a playwright and even a puppeteer at a hippy commune in Montreal?

In this episode we talk about her 2015 performances at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, her shows Then and Lie Collector, along with the 2000+ submitted stories - from real people, around the globe - which have helped to inspire the songs. Yve also chats about signing with her first agent and her experiences out on the UK comedy circuit. A brand new food stuff is discovered and named, plus we send a message to the future. *We aren't sexist, they just kept saying 'no'. Until Yve. High-five, Yve.
