Kate Summerscale unpacks the truth in true crime

Kate Summerscale’s bestselling narrative nonfiction The Suspicions of Mr Whicher was made into big telly, starring Peter Capaldi and unraveling a murder that took place in the 1860s. Her latest book is much more recent history, however, and in The Peepshow: The Murders at 10 Rillington Place, she revisits the crimes of John Reginald Halliday Christie, one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers, putting flesh on the bones of his female victims and looking at the role played by the sensationalist media of the time. She chats to Mick about all of the above, what Christie’s crimes said about Britain at the time, how much – if at all – anything’s changed, and why true crime is still such popular entertainment. The Peepshow: The Murders at Rillington Place is published by Bloomsbury and out now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Bush Telegraph: Shiny happy people leaving jail

Mick and Jen are on news duty this week, talking cynical steps – or is it honourable intentions? – as social media companies try to get to grips with the Online Safety Act. Elsewhere, there are smiling faces aplenty outside Strangeways, as the Labour Government grapples with its inherited crumbling prison system. Thank the gods of whimsy that Paddington Bear is on hand to cheer us all up. Not Jen, though. He makes her cry. Also, there’s contraceptive chaos in Sexism of the Week, and some baffling sponsorship in Jenny Off the Blocks. Meanwhile the boss, Sarah Millican, is back for our £5 and above Patreon subscribers, offering some light relief around the gendered use of language. You can find the BPAS petition Mick talks about in this episode here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Flicking #54: Barbie

Life in plastic: is it fantastic… to watch? Greta Gerwig’s star-studded Barbie was one of THE big-hitters in cinema last year and, according to critics across the globe, wasn’t just pink and sparkly and fun, but came with a big ol' side of feminism. But did it, though? Did it? Hmmm. Mick, Hannah and Yosra will be the judge and jury of that. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rated or Dated: Quadrophenia (1979)

Quadrophenia is a tale of young male angst and multiple wing mirrors, and is apparently the reason Jen's brother used to wear a cravat. But is it a case of style over substance? And is a game of "spot the young character actor" enough to keep us interested? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I know all the presenters and most of their guests are English, but I do think that a podcast that bills itself as being “for all women” might do a bit more news about what’s going on in the other parts of the UK. They treat Scotland as a joke. There’s the Edinburgh fringe (good, worth bothering with) and literally everything else about Scotland (bad, silly, laughing stock) Considering Scottish voters are generally more progressive and Tory-detesting, I’d have thought Scotland would be more to the hosts’ tastes in many ways. That would be if they bothered themselves to get educated about it.

I just discovered the Standard Issue from the episode with Anna Newton of the AnnaEdit. I love the premise of the podcast and its women focused mission. Between that and awesome guests, I'm hooked! Definitely worth a listen.
