Show Notes
This week we've been doing a spot of genealogy and so we're talking families, history and skeletons in the closet. Gill has discovered her ancestors are not who she thought they were at all, and reveals a fairly sordid tale of infidelity and illegitimacy, involving considerable judgement for her newly found great grandfather, and on Jo's side, it's her great grandmother who brings the scandal to the table. Gill also attempts to talk movingly about the unregulated adoption process in the 1920s, but Jo is more interested in musing on whether it would be possible for Monty Don to adopt her...

This week, we are talking about solo travel. Jo is exceptionally brave, Gill investigates Teletext Holidays, we reminisce about the heady days of life with Tour Manager Ben, Jo touches a Parisian crotch and Gill relives a traumatic day in Barnard Castle...
This week, we attempt to talk productivity and why women are always expected to be busy, and occupied. Except, we decide to talk about literally anything else instead, including the time Gill nearly joined the Scientologists by mistake, thereby thwarting the patriarchy and their outdated notions for us...
This week we dip our distinctly unfashionable toes into the murky world of fashion, to discuss the latest trend of 'Literary Chic.' Jo's trousers provide a wardrobe malfunction, and she invents a new word, which leads to Gill having her best day after rummaging in some long forgotten places! What is Jo's word? What does Gill's rummaging reveal? You'll have to listen and find out!
This week we're talking about Life Admin- what it involves, why it's boring, why we hate it, and why we love the nice man at Halfords who fixes your headlight bulbs. Jo is grown up and serious and talks about wills, Gill lowers the tone as usual.
This week, we veer dangerously close to becoming serious, as we discuss the Femosphere, and whether it can really be classed as feminism, if it is a new thing, and if it is ever acceptable to use a mini sausage from a tin of sausage and beans as a cocktail garnish...?
