S3 Ep3: Judge Rinder: Barrister and TV personality

01/27/22 • 26 min

This week’s interviewee made his name as the UK’s answer to Judge Judy, and on Strictly Come Dancing, but there’s much more to him than that. From his upbringing in North London (in a future celebrity enclave, not far from Rachel Stevens and Amy Winehouse) to his crowd of adoring female fans, the Rinderettes, Rob Rinder had so much to say. A rare male interviewee, we reflected on the relationship between women and queer men and what we can offer each other. Creator & host: Alice Beverton-Palmer Producer & editor: Laura Blake

S3 Ep4: Dr Fern Riddell: Historian of sex

Dr Fern Riddell is a historian, podcaster, and the author of - among others - the brilliant book Sex: Lessons from History. If you haven’t read it yet, its fairly revolutionary perspective is that not only have people always been obsessed with sex, but that British people in the past weren’t necessarily as narrow minded about sex, sexuality, and gender as you might think. Which I found a really hopeful message.
