SIM Ep 678 Pod 183: Pregnant panto, hungry homes, and WTF is Capote?

Potential pitfalls for child stars are well documented, so in this week’s podzine Hannah wants to know where it all went RIGHT for actor Dani Harmer, who found fame as Tracy Beaker in the hit CBBC series of the same name. They chat about being a heavily pregnant Fairy Godmother, Strictly Come Dancing, and the enduring appeal of Tracy Beaker.

Emma Revie, CEO of The Trussell Trust, talks to Mick about why the Trust is having to give out 7,000 emergency food parcels a day this December, and the impossible decisions faced by so many families living below the breadline in the UK.

In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen's chatting ladies, unladylike behaviour, and the upcoming BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards, while the Bush Telegraph's got brave women, big clean ups, and buck-takers. And finally, in the last Rated or Dated of the year, the team are frustrated by the absence of Truman Capote as they watch 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany’s and call the RSPCA.
