Season 1

  1. Episode 1

    Women and Power

    Episode 1 - Women and Power This episode comes to you, four months as opposed to the cheerful optimism of four weeks, as expressed in the show, late. Nevertheless, as nothing has spectacularly moved forward since then it remains like the patriarchy still intact, if not a little flawed. We are unashamed technophobes and as the series goes along the sound quality, I promise, does improve, please bear with us. (Don’t worry you can still hear Tilly, no microphone required). Also, since recording we have been joined by our administrator, David Doust and can no longer claim to be all female, but remain all fervent feminists. We hope you enjoy this episode, Women and Power, which talks about the Me Too Campaign, the Women’s March, female Doctor Who and much more.

    Episode 2

    American Beauty

    Hello lovely listeners. This podcast comes from the bed of self-confessed theatre womble James Baker, James is a theatre maker, academic and artist. He is Co-Artistic Director of Bootworks Theatre Company and host of the Bootworks theatre talkshop podcast. In this episode we talk about the multi- award winning film American Beauty, and the themes it presents against the backdrop of current issues and the political climate, in a post Weinstein era and with the allegations made against Kevin Spacey and the implications which the work has now become framed within. Again we need you to bear with us and our funky robot noises, also it does get a little quiet in places so please keep listening, we are still trying to learn as we go and we promise it will get better. Thank you so much for listening and hope you enjoy the show.

    Episode 4

    Top 5s

    Hey there listeners, this episode we’ve got a little indulgent and fun, Ashlie is back in bed with us and we are joined by the brilliant Andy Roberts, he is one of the Artistic Director’s at Bootworks Theatre Company, he’s a talented theatre maker and is the lead programmer of The Showroom in Chichester. This episode we talk top fives, a trip through, all or most of our favourite things (as Julie Andrews would put it), including films, albums and books. A little warning/apology is that there is some over excitement by certain members of the team (Tilly and her old films!), so we did run over a little due to passion and indulgence. And apologies to the slandering of our producer whose attempt to time manage was cruelly ignored. Hope you enjoy!
