We are delighted to bring you episode 100 of Fox Force Five - we've come a long way baby - thanks for being there with us. Here's to 100 more!


This week Kelly starts with the news of assisted dying and euthanasia being recommended to be legislated around in Ireland. This will be a huge step for those who support the right to die for people with terminal illnesses. Ireland proving itself a progressive country once again.


For the day that's in it Nicola brings us a list of the top 50 female characters on TV in the 21st century - can you guess some?


Our fox this week is more a collection of fearless foxes who campaigned for women's rights and the introduction of International Women's Day - one such woman was Clara Zetkin who proposed the first IWD.


Our follow this week is for @theoldgays on Insta.Who doesn't need another colourful fun account to follow?


Finally, potentially MASSIVE news from Mel B, that The Spice Girls may be reforming later this year - get praying to the pop and female empowerment Gods!

Taim ar ais! Yay! It's been waaaay too long.
This week we tell you all about the covid we got. Lol. Nah just kidding we just talk a little about it and then it's way more interesting after that.
First up - No Spend January - as fun as it sounds. Then - soooo much TV - with particular focus on Dope Sick. Then we celebrate the absolute legend Betty White, who would've been 100 this week had she lived 17 more days - hear some really interesting stuff about her amazing life. A total pioneer.
Then Nicola talks to us about Fitness + - just what we need for smashing the January fitness buzz. We finish up this week with a great recommendation for Kae Tempest's 'More Pressure' a great new tune of their forthcoming album.
It's great to be back!

This week's podcast has highs and lows, a bit like life really. We start with good news around momentum gathering around the introduction of gender quotes. The National Women's Council is backing a draft bill going before government to introduce the quotas.
Then, in our telly talk, we discuss Turning Point, a new 9/11 documentary and then go off on a massive tangent about 9/11 in general. 20 years on and it's still a source producing new stories.
Our Fox of the Week is Dolores O'Riordan in the week that would have been her 50th birthday had she lived. Find out more about this singular Limerick woman and how her old bandmates are commemorating the occasion.
Our follow this week is for the unexpected, slightly disturbing @siblingsordating honestly mind-boggling stuff.
We round off this week's show with a chat about the lovely Sarah Harding, R.I.P. and delight in some thoroughly delightful news that is the return of our beloved ABBA.
