SIM Ep 133 Chops 43: jolly hockey sticks (and gold medals) Jul 21, 2018

Show notes

Would you look at that: a Sunday Chops on a Saturday like the maverick mofos we are. Okay, okay, the reason is: Saturday 21 July is the start of the Hockey World Cup. To learn more about the games at hand and the game in general, we chatted to Olympic gold-bagging TeamGB-ers (Rio, 2016) Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh. And they were awesome.

SIM Ep 132 Pod 44: Trump, Brontë, Parkinson & the Richardson-Walshes Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

Team Noonan, Dunleavy and Offord are mostly enjoying a bit of outdoor time in this week's podzine, which is No 44, but should be No 45, given we recorded the Bush Telegraph special at the Women's March on London on the day of Trump's UK visit. Mickey and Hannah are surrounded by birdsong as they chat #TeamEmily with the Brontë Parsonage Museum's Lauren Livesey. Hannah also went to sunny Mold to talk Home, I'm Darling with actress Katherine Parkinson and Theatr Clwyd's Tamara Harvey. And the one time a studio happened, it was to learn more about the Hockey World Cup from Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh. So no complaints there.
