In this episode, Pip and Izzy address the #BlackLivesMatter protests that have kicked off since #GeorgeFloyd's brutal murder in the US 19 days ago. What does it mean to be an ally? How can more white people join this movement? And what will it take to move this conversation forward towards a place where no one is made to feel inferior or treated differently because of the melanin content of their skin.

Episode 15 - Ending White Supremacy and Boosting Allyship

We really do care. Do you?
Back to women’s work. Back to care in the times of Corona. In our first podcast as two merging households we dive into domestic work, childcare, and care generally. Covid throwing into relief once again the precarious nature of women’s work, work that is valued and how to pay at the tills with applause. We’re not going to lie…wine was drunk pre-recording, got a bit fast and loose. But whether a bit tipsy or stone cold sober, one thing always remains…we hate the fucking Tories.

Episode 16 - Caring is Sharing + Outtakes!

The 90s!

We’re going back to the 90s! Those damn commies have lost, Clarissa can conceivably explain it all, JK Rowling seems to be the incorruptible moral compass of an entire generation of children and would never alienate a marginalised group out of ignorance and bigotry. Versace and Lady Di. Hyper individualism turns voters into consumers and we’re only just waking up to the consequences of that.

Trigger Warning for Boomers…as usual we end up lamenting that you have so much power and wealth…it gets harsh. But the best boomers know that something’s got to give and this generalisation shouldn’t rattle the awesome ones.

Trigger warning: Gen X, we don’t mention you…soz. But you’re used to it and you like the feeling of superiority don’t you?

Trigger warning: Climate change, Izzy gets real when it comes to how we’re going to adapt to the new world. But stay up beat, because solidarity is making a come back.
