Emily Gordon was in London and Monica Heisey was on my mind - and I pulled us all together to talk about writing, Martine McCuctheon's dramatic ass, how to (try) shutting down misogynists and the nature of writing books vs scripts. These are two smart people who have published/ written some very important and great writing - I'm also here. Enjoy!

Comedy

A crossover episode from the vaults - though can it be a crossover if I haven't been on their podcast yet? We're talking about language, Tessa tells us a story about losing her mind at a party, Stevie learns about Kool Aid and Saran wrap and I quote Britney. It's a good one! Bonus Spinster based quiz at the end for the audience too! Recorded LIVE at Angel Comedy at the Bill Murray in London town. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

6. Being An Adult with Tessa Coates and Stevie Martin (Nobody Panic)

Ok ok it's just little old me, but I'm reading an essay I wrote in the critically acclaimed book 'I Call Myself A Feminist' . The essay collection was reprinted in a second format after being featured in Stylist, Dazed magazine, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Independent on Sunday, The Herald, Independent and more. Of the book Sarah Millican remarked, ‘I’ve read six pages and already learned loads about myself’. (we hope it was my six pages, and isn't that just the most honest and best quote 'I've read six pages'...) It's just about 10 mins.... any longer and we'd need something to deal with all this sincerity... so pop it on, get on that loo, finish that wordle, fold those fitted sheets, and I'll see you next week.

5. Taking up Space from 'I Call Myself A Feminist with my Elbows'

Yes it's the worst sound quality yet!!! But I can't keep KATE BERLANT and ROSE MATAFEO languishing in a hard drive?!?!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

4. Apologise: Kate Berlant and Rose Matafeo

Here she is again. Sneaking back into your feed. Hoping the last ep didn't remind you to unsub. Join Amy (me) as she (me) attempts to corral the true forces of nature that are comedians Rosie Jones and Helen Bauer to talk about 'attention'. Do you want it? Sure. But what does it feel like when you get it? and are you getting the 'right' kind of attention.... It's feminism, it's the Princess Diaries, It's the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, It's Helen getting annoyed that she wasn't allowed to summarise someone else's podcast at the end. It's a good, good time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
