Tui the bird ,

Never too to be a girl geek (or to love Strong Female Characters)

I'm 63, a sci-fi & fantasy geek since before those were even terms, and I LOVE this podcast although it's def not made for people like me. Love the energy, the buzz the presenters bring, and the proud stroppy feminism.
