SIM Ep 382 Pod 113: Caring, broadcasting and running

It’s National Carers Week, so in this week's podcast, Mickey chats to Penny Wincer, two-time unpaid carer, single mum and author of Tender: The Imperfect Art of Caring about the loaded nature of the word carer and how, in the UK, disabled people have been thrown under the bus. Hannah catches up with performance duo Hunt & Darton to find out how their arts project Radio Local is helping communities unearth their good news stories. She may be on maternity leave, but Jen's left us a cracking chat with queen of athletics Asha Philip, in the first of a two-part interview. And in Dunleavy Does Disaster we watch Knowing, where everyone's so busy shouting each other's names they don't notice how truly dreadful the film is. We did though. And in the Bush Telegraph, sigh, well, it's the world right now. There's no getting away from it.
