We travelled to Kingston, Jamaica, to interview one of the greatest athletes of our times, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce!! Shelly-Ann has too many medals to count, and she's not done yet. In this episode we discuss her entry into athletics, her religion, football in Jamaica and the work she does on it, and why the upcoming Tokyo Olympics will be her last.

This episode was recorded with low-tech equipment so the sound isn't perfect, but the guest is so we make up for it with that.

This weeks episode of the finale of SEASON ONE!!! And we couldn’t be more excited about who it is with. Scarlett and Richard Curtis. Another father-daughter duo. Scarlett is a writer, activist, and co-founder of the Pink Protest, and Richard is the award-winning writer/director behind classics like Love Actually, Four Weddings & a Funeral, and his recent his, Yesterday, as well as co-founder of the incredible charity Comic Relief. 
Our ‘fab four’ discuss everything from generational divides on sexism, the evolution of comic relief, and how you can really change the world. We couldn’t be happier to round up season one with this treasure.

This week Grace and Alastair are joined a man who is already very important in their lives - a man vital to Alastair’s happiness and well-being, and therefore important to Grace too. He is Burnley manager Sean Dyche, affectionately known to Alastair as ‘the gaffer.’ Sadly, the gaffer disabuses Grace of the belief she has had all her life that Alastair is some kind of co-gaffer at Burnley, but more happily the Premier League’s second longest serving manager, who has performed miracles in getting Burnley into Europe, talks about much more than football - racism, sexism, homophobia, tattoos (he is not a fan!) And for listeners of Alastair’s generations, he has some great Brian Clough stories, not least about things he would not dare do and say to a modern player.
