We are very sorry about the slight sound lag between us and occasional period of echo in this week’s show - we have upgraded our wifi so (touchwood) it won’t happen again!
It's so easy to leave a grumpy comment and then walk away without thinking about how it'll land (and potentially stay) with the recipient. I hope you don't get too many comments about it, but if you do, I hope you can take them as the 'grains of salt' that they are.
I just appreciate that you guys are putting out content and standing for sanity when doing so is still so brave. So lag or no lag, I cherish you both!
I enjoy the cooking and restaurant chit chat. And if you can't see the mask conversation was directed at a very particular type of performative mask wearer, then that's the end of the discussion.
Okay. Well it seems very clear to me some of the mask wearing is deeply performative. For instance, masks seem very common among the crowds of activists who gather to give someone like Julie Bindel a lot of abuse. I have no issue with wearing a mask and I know some people have conditions etc, but seems daft to me to blithely give benefit of the doubt. I really don't think Kathleen and Julie were conspiring to mock people who wear masks for genuine reasons.
I seriously doubt that anyone wearing n95 and P2 and P3 respirators in public is doing so 'performatively'. I think you would find that most who mask are doing so to protect their own health or that of their loved ones.
Thanks, but not to worry. A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting podcast that I look forward to every Friday evening here in Australia.
Didn’t take away from another funny podcast, barely noticed too busy chuckling 🤭

What we'd like to see more of:
Interviews with high profile lesbians such as Martina Navratilova about their history and current challenges.
Interviews with lesbian musicians from back in the day such as Cris Williamson.
Interviews with detransitioners and desisters about how their attitude to lesbianism effected their decision making along the way.
Interviews with high profile gender critics such as Maya Forstater, JK Rowling, Helen Joyce etc.
What we'd like to see less of:
Cooking and restaurant chitchat.
Critiques of people who wear masks

I give all mask wearers the benefit of the doubt.
