Standard Issue Podcast

Writer, comedian and author Rae Earl was a panel guest at our Cheltenham gig in September so our Mickey snaffled half an hour with her beforehand to chat about her new book, It's All In Your Head: A Guide To Getting Your Sh*t Together. Well, that was the plan. The conversation quickly went rogue, taking in everything from mental health to mooncups, Ghostbusters to Michael Palin's duty to be a bigamist. Lovely stuff.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
