Gigcast: Creasy and Glenn

It's rare we open a gigcast with the question "WTF?" but as our guests last month were MP Stella Creasy and US comedian Taylor Glenn it seemed rather fitting. We also talked about what we'd change if we were in charge of the world, "liberal bros", disastrous driving tests and foam shrimps. Because foam shrimps.

Become a patron

Help us keep making great women-championing content by throwing us a bit of cash/coin/bunce/wedge/dollar/Euros/money/bread.

We love making the Standard Issue podcast and we’re incredibly proud that so many people are listening. We want to keep making Standard Issue, and give our awesome listeners even more women-championing content, documentary specials and chopses with brilliant birds.

All the cool podcast kids are on Patreon, so we’ve decided to give that a bash. And so, if you like what we do, then please chuck us a bit of money. We really appreciate it. Here is a link to our Patreon page.

How Patreon works (spoiler: it’s really simple). Patreon is a crowdfunding platform for creators. Artists, creators and, in our case, podcasters are paid by patrons (you please) who give us an amount of cash you’re comfy with each month. And you can stop giving it whenever you choose. You’re in control.

And as a patron? You’ll be helping fund a smart, sharp and funny magazine-style podcast for women interested in everything.

All women. No matter your age, background or where you live.

Thanks champs.
