The Grand Thunk

43 - ‘Hidey Hi, Tim Messenger here’ and How Our NHS Staff Feel


Listen Later

In this light-hearted episode, we discuss rogue dreams, dinner ladies and cheese jokes as well as, more somberly, the feelings of our NHS staff whilst watching ‘This Is Going To Hurt’. Alex has broken her heart with this week’s book club book ‘The Song of Achilles’ and James’ Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room. Rhiannon has been mesmerised by Animal Farm’s puppetry whilst Alex has been debunking sleeping myths. This episode was recorded before recent world events.
