HOLLA! Our Mick’s got resident music guru Liz Buckley on the request line to chat the majesty, mischief and massive talent that is rap icon Missy Elliott. Why? Well, MISSY ELLIOTT. But also, it’s happy 25th birthday to her debut album Supa Dupa Fly, *and* happy 20th birthday to Under Construction. Inflatable bin bags all round!

In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen’s chatting to England and Harlequins prop, Shaunagh Brown, about the rise of women’s rugby, why we still need to go further, putting the day job on pause, and what it's like to be an internet sensation. 

This week’s Rated or Dated dispenses with any pretence of being non-partisan, as Mick and Hannah celebrate a festive film close to both their hearts. Step forward 1992’s The Muppet Christmas Carol, you absolute felty, furry, Michael Caine-y delight. 

Plus there’s feminism 101 in the Bush Telegraph and a stinking bellend in Sexism of the Week.
