This week, we start off with a segment that we absolutely promise isn't sponsored content: it's all about delicious, affordable Heinz Baked Beans! The magical fruit leads us right into smells, and Hannah has a sick game she wants to play with us, that isn’t unlike that film Saw. After that, Caroline revises her opinion on pigeons (maybe not so bad, after all). We also learn Morse code in our #WomenWhoCode mixer, and how to work out who we're putting our make up on for.

This week, the moon is both waxing AND waning as the Dumb Women get spooky with ouija boards, the concept of luck, and the 1990s cult classic The Craft. We also find an errant crone in the form of Jen Cownie (@cownifer) and make her tell us Taylor Swift's fortune. Some light chanting, then bed. Spooky, huh? Contact: [email protected].

This week, Alex pretends she's a Victorian lady by fainting on the train, Caroline tries to figure out who she'll leave her night hat to in her will, and Hannah realises that the entire English political climate can be sussed by who doesn't like wind turbines.

Why are bananas so goddamn affordable and why can’t Peter Andre stop eating them? Bananas aren't our sponsor this week, Hannah just wanted to find out about them. Caroline takes over the Women Who Code mixer to explain Bitcoin with varying results, and Alex has a great idea about lightbulbs. Also, we discuss why we’re scared of the number 13, how to get on the slogan t-shirts trend and FAT LEGS. Contact: [email protected]. Music by Harry Harris, logo design by Gavin Day.

This week, Hannah tries to figure how the post office works and where the money goes when she sends pictures of the Queen's face abroad. Caroline goes gold digging for dudes through history and Alex investigates why she’s full of hot air... and it's making her hiccup! Also we prepare for our future robot overlords by learning about Artificial Intelligence, and look at the best ways to deal with imposter syndrome. Contact: [email protected].

Where did CDs go? And on that note, where did polio go? Sunglasses are still around, but why do they make everyone look so goddamn sexy? This week, the gang investigates all three, plus we take a listener question from Dumb Woman Stephanie, who wants to learn how to complain but can’t make her mouth do the right shapes. Elsewhere, we try to make fun of the Smart Men who use GitHub at our Women Who Code mixer, and ask a doctor an embarrassing and very personal question.

In episode eight of the School for Dumb Women, we had a Smart Lesson with Instagram super-mega-star Bella Younger, aka Deliciously Stella. As a genuine Smart Woman with not five nor four but *three* podcast seasons under her belt, we thought Bella could give us some tips on how to develop your brand with a podcast, and queried her on how to sound more like a man, how to write a script with another lady friend without becoming a bitch witch, and how to ask a guest to please please come on your podcast please thanks. Here are all the bits that we swept up from the cutting room floor, all in one bonus lump! Contact: [email protected] Music by Harry Harris, logo design by Gavin Day. Recorded at Soho Radio Studios.

This week, a listener request sends us into the terrifyingly simplistic world of scaffolding. SPOILER ALERT: people die on scaffolding, guys. Next, we find out about dogs, Caroline’s dog, and why Caroline no longer has a rug in living room. Meanwhile, Hannah goes on a deep dive through a cow’s udders and comes out with milk. Our Women Who Code Mixer remains an unparalleled success, and for our Smart Lesson, we get taught about podcasting by Instagram star and all-round-good-gal Bella Younger, aka Deliciously Stella.

This week, Caroline finds out that the “dark playground” of procrastination doesn’t even have a decent set of swings, while Alex discovers she can’t do shit without a credit score. Hannah catches up with the rest of the world by finding out who and what Fergie is, and we accidentally talk about shopping in our Women Who Code mixer. Finally we find out how Smart Women deal with their trolls, so if you hate this episode, remember to tweet us so we can practise!

This week, Hannah investigates the origins of loo roll and Alex becomes a country music singing sensation in the process. We skip our Women Who Code mixer in favour of a mystery more pressing than code: why is homemade ice so goddamn terrible? Alex investigates fish and the explosion of fish-related vocabulary and Caroline finds out just what (and where) in the hell the Bermuda Triangle is. For our Smart Lesson, we learn just how and why you should become a GREGGS influencer, with or without their permission. Contact: [email protected] Music by Harry Harris, logo design by Gavin Day.
