Standard Issue Podcast

We're back with the first podzine of 2019, with a ray of January sunshine. Standard Issue favourite Paula McGuire is back to give you a five minute guide to keeping your pecker up, or, er being positive. We’re joined by Julie Cohen and Betsy West to talk about their new documentary RBG, about legendary Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Marina Gask swings by to tell us about online magazine Audrey, flipping the bird to the midlife comfort zone and carpe-ing the diem. Jen gets her twerk on with Kelechi Okafor, founder of the Kelechnekoff fitness studio, in the name of making fitness fun in this week’s Jenny off the Blocks, and Dunleavy does Disney’s Cars – toot, and indeed, toot.

There’s Veganuary vs Gammon controversy in the Bush Telegraph, some dastardly women having fun in Sexism of the Week, and some even worse fish in barrels.

In this Chops, Mick chats with blogger, vlogger, podcaster and now author, Anna Newton, a woman with her shit together who knows that having together shit doesn’t always come easy. Cue her book: An Edited Life is a (delightful-to-read) manual to getting the best out of the worlds of home, work and life-in-general, penned by someone who knows how to get stuff organised. Our Mick was all ears and note-taking.

In this In Conversation, Sarah and Mickey had a ruddy smashing time with Nigella Lawson, Samira Ahmed and Jodie Prenger, chatting about being a cat, the power of the BBC voice, laughing at funerals, combing cows, excellent letters to Newsround, how to talk buzzard and Roger Moore as God. 

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Leicester Square Theatre in September. That means a couple of the plugs are out of date. Obviously we know now that Fiona Bruce got the Question Time job, but we love Samira’s pitching so much it’s staying in. And Nigella’s tour is over, but there’s still loads of good stuff over on her website.

This gigcast is from our one gig of the year where we allow some blokes to do the talking, and Sarah and Mickey had a belly-achingly fun time with Richard Herring, Colin Jackson, David Mitchell and David Morrissey. 

Chat included baloney sandwiches, Kes, too many trainers, a fish not called Chris, the power of exercise and the smell of balls. 

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Leicester Square Theatre in November. That means a couple of the plugs are out of date, as in the Upstart Crow Christmas Special was on… Christmas Day. But you can get it on catch up and you absolutely should.

In this episode, team Noonan, Dunleavy and Offord chat to QI elf and human bookworm Anne Miller about the best reads for the festive period – to buy as presents or to curl up with yourself. Hannah and Jen catch up with cracking actor and excellent human Wunmi Mosaku to talk Luther, Idris Elba and the potential perils of being a sidekick, and Jen has a natter with tip-top comedians Rachel Parris and Jenny Bede about how this year's been for women in comedy. 

In the Bush Telegraph, we're saluting our women of the year; as ever, there are loads of birds doing the rest of us proud. And Hannah provides a round-up of all the Disney's she's done in 2018. The fact she's not a gibbering wreck is some sort of Christmas miracle, quite frankly.

Christmas is just round the corner, so we talk (some of the mountains of) festive viewing in this month's Outside The Box. Plus, we chat Young Offenders, Mrs Wilson, Hot Girls Wanted:Turned On, Death & Nightingales, and I'm a Celebrity. And, as it's the last OTB of the year, we decree the best TV programme of the year. Spoiler alert: it's The Deuce.
