There’s plenty to be making noise about at the moment, but activism can take many different forms, so in this week’s podzine, Hannah gets on the blower to comedian, writer and Standard Issue fave, Jenny Éclair, to chat about her new BBC show Craftivism: Making a Difference, and the power of picking up your pins and needles. Since January is the perfect time to curl up with a good book, Jen is chatting to author Susie Yang about her debut novel, White Ivy, an alternative immigrant narrative and brilliantly dark class critique. We’re feeling Priti vacant and generally pretty fucked off at the government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and the CPS’s handling of rape cases in the Bush Telegraph. In Jenny off the Blocks, Jen talks #ICare and the women’s rugby players calling out online abuse, and there’s some incongruous traffic-related violation as Rated or Dated tackles Rocky V.

Welcome back to Sandi's book of rooms! It's been a while, so Sandi thought it high-time to check-in and see how you're doing, and what a welcome sight that is as we find ourselves in lockdown part 2 of 2020.  In this one-off episode, Sandi explores the date of 12th November, which happens to be the day that gave birth to the World Wide Web and changed our lives forever. We also learn who Pudge Heffelfinger was, that Emperors shouldn't be called 'Michael', and that blowing-up a whale is never a good idea.  We also, as usual, will hear about some amazing women the history books have neglected to document - so thank heavens that Sandi has written her own almanac - inspired to do so by this very series.  So sit back and relax once more in the warm glow ... you were missed.     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode of DWSC is the second live stream show the team took to the glorious Clapham Grand in London in December 2020. Although there was no live audience, hundreds of fans joined them on the live stream to watch the action take place - and it's not too late for you to do the same, as the video is now available on the DWSC Patreon, just go to: patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime to see Hannah, Taylor and Catie in all their glory - alongside special guest, actor and comedian, Michelle De Swarte. Michelle recounts a crime in which the perpetrator saw more than Michelle's soul, the gang then grab another bottle each to get to the nub of a story involving a chancer of epic proportions, and finally we hear from a listener who is still smarting from a false accusation levelled at her during her school days ....   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
