This week Jenny and Gillian talk about the power and upside of our community and the joy and euphoria of transition. In an increasingly turbulent and hostile world, it’s important to realise that we still have choices about our own metal wellbeing and the support that is avilable to and for us. They hope you will find this light-hearted episode useful in a world of what can seem like, toxicity and gloom.

This week Jenny and Gillian talk a little about the Tory Party conference where a rage of speakers spouted trans+ hate in an effort, we can only assume to deflect from the real issues of the day. This more personal episode was recorded on Wednesday and is a visceral reaction to what we heard. The feelings run high and there is some bad language - we do apologise if it’s even more rambling, triggering and shambolic an episode than usual - however we wanted to demonstrate the power of venting and emoting.

This week Jenny and Gillian take a lighthearted look at AI - what risks and opportunities might present themselves….as always, it’s not the technology that’s the issue, but the use to which it is put.

This episode was recorded a little while ago, hence the references to the weird weather we chat about - and oddly, on the day this is live, there is a 10 degree disparity in weather between the North and South of the UK…

Regular listeners will notice a slight glitch as the episode ‘dropped’ on a Sunday this week - normal Saturday release will resume in due course…thanks for bearing with us.

This week, Gillian and Jenny discuss the concept that the 'artist' should be judged differently to that person's artistic output...they wrestle with the idea that it's possible to differentiate people from their views in politics as well as the world of the broader arts....and of course, Jenny manages to 'shoehorn' in some weird youtube reference to prove her street cred...! Don't worry though, it all has relevance for the trans+ world!
