We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: You medalling kids! Adam Peaty misses gold by a sliver, Simone Biles is back, barmy Olympics ceremony. “Is bullying a dance style?” BBC’s Strictly inquiry is coming and the papers are picking sides. The lady’s not for turning over. The new sex party hotspot is… Grantham, home of Margaret Thatcher?  

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Rebecca Reid and actor and author Sam Baines.  

Come and see us LIVE at the Cheerful Earful podcast festival on 12 Oct. Tickets here.
