In this In Conversation, Mick and Hannah had a lovely chat with Lisa Riley, June Sarpong and Stacey Solomon, about the internalised misogyny of Alexa, getting a bit Walthamstow, the perils of wayward loo roll, and knowing your Johns from your Daves.

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Leicester Square Theatre in October 2018, so some of the plugs are out of date. But you can still hear our chat with A.L. Kennedy on this very podcast feed. And you should.
