SIM EP 109 Doc 1, Part 1: Repealing the 8th May 09, 2018

Show notes

On May 25, Ireland votes on whether to allow women access to safe and legal abortions for the first time. In a special, two-part documentary, we look at the campaign to Repeal The 8th and talk to some of the women at the heart of it. About the current situation. About its repercussions. About the sad history of reproductive rights in Ireland. And about how to win hearts and minds on this traditionally divisive issue.

SIM Ep 101 Chops 32: beetle joy Apr 08, 2018

Show notes

Beetles, bugs and Blue Peter badges: our time chatting with author and all-round top bird Maya “MG” Leonard was funducational as fuck. Writing her Beetle Boy trilogy meant Maya had to gen up on the insect world and allowed her to wow team Noonan, Dunleavy and Offord with tales of beetle derring do and overcoming creepy crawlies giving you the heebie-jeebies.

Also, Hannah puts her hand on a barbecue and takes her trousers off in a restaurant, Jen rescues her housemate from spiders but discovers she’s accidentally been murdering them, Mick does a terrible visual gag just perfect for podcasts and we discover what flavour of jelly is a beetle’s favourite.
