    Robbed: women who didn’t get their credit

    Robbed: women who didn’t get their credit

    This week's topic is one that's close to most womens hearts: men taking credit for your work. We look at artists, inventors and scientists who you might not have heard of because some bloke made a whole song and dance about themselves instead.

    Pro Wrestling

    It’s still real to us! This week Jono shares his vast (and probably useless) knowledge of the world of Pro Wrestling. We talk origins, mega stars, insider terms and we bond over our love of Jeff Hardy & John Cena. An ep for all ages.
