Short story thing. Of course, damn device has been playing up and trying to post for ages...

wok

It goes well with the pans

I could not believe what I was hearing either when I heard this earlier. It was WONDERFUL.

What happened at the BBC which caused that to slip through the net?

It's beautiful!

That was amazing. Thank you Hannah.

The tide has turned all right.

Wow. That was amazing.

I liked how she completely swerved past the 'third wave' sex pos libfems and focussed on the actual waves of actual proper feminism.

The ones with dangerous meetings.

Yes, exactly.

just bumping this for the weekend crowd. it really is worth a listen

Loved it!

That was excellent. All the more powerful for its slight air of understatement.

And the theme of the men's utter determination to shut women up was chilling. And oh so recognisable.

Spittle indeed.

A new Controller was appointed to Radio 4 in July. I wonder if that's why we're seeing a less one-sided viewpoint?

Wow! thank you Hannah!
Powerful.

Amazing - beautifully written and delivered. Thanks for the heads-up, op.

I loved the bit about 'no debate' - how they even had a debate about moving the TV, but weren't supposed to discuss the redefinition of 'women'.

How long is it available for?

Can we save it for future recommendations? Will Hannah have a copy that we will be able to share?

From the webpage:

Released On: 29 Nov 2019
Available for 29 days

After that it might be gone with maybe occasional revivals on 4Extra.

I've suggested it for pick of the week

Dh heard this and told me I had to listen to it, I'd love it.

I didn't believe him.

Will def try to catch it on I-player.

Believe your husband.

This might be the only time I write those words.

i just listened- great stuff. brilliant to hear the parallels with past struggles spelled out explicitly like that. brilliant to hear the modern day struggle laid out like that- it shouldnt be 'brave' or 'unusual' to have this kind of drama but this is where we are and that was both.

I've nominated for POTW too.

Crikey.

DH heard this yesterday when out in his lorry...told me about it when he woke up this morning ( he gets in late)

He understands it and hopes others do too...

I'm getting excited now - everything crossed that FWR power gets it onto Pick of the Week.

We can but wish. The tide may be turning but I wish it would hurry up.

That was unbelievably good, even better the second time I played it.

Gosbsmacked the BBC aired it !
