With very clean hands, this week's podzine brings you Sex and Lies, as author Leila Slimani tells Jen all about her new book looking at the secret sex lives of women in Morocco, a country that still expects its women to be virgins or married.

Part of the brilliant Vaults Festival, Miles Apart Together is a new play charting world-beating feats accomplished by women you've never heard of. But you're hearing about them now, as actor Meg Kubota tells our Hannah about Annie "Londonderry" Kopchovsky, Bessie Coleman and Junko Tabei. 

In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen’s wondering if it’s time for Phil Neville to sling his hook as far as his management of the Lionesses is concerned, and in the Bush Telegraph the team talks COVID-19, convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein and #WeToo, and the problem with the Labour leadership race. Well, one of them anyway. 

And there are more fun and games in Dunleavy Does Disaster, as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson saves what's left of the day while his on-screen daughter goes tits akimbo in 2015's San Andreas.
