    Sexually promiscuous, loud and ugly, are all words used to describe women from the English County of Essex in the Oxford and Cambridge Dictionaries. Our guest Terri Simpkin takes us through The Essex Girl motif from The Only Way is Essex to Medieval witch hunts in the hopes of discovering more about this infamous woman known as The Essex Girl...

    FYI: This episode was originally broadcast in March 2020 and fell off my feed! So here it is again :) 

    ADDENDUM: Please note, the birthplace of Boudicca, who features in this episode, is unknown but does have links to Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire - which makes her an Essex Girl to me!

    "The Perfect Little Syllable...C**T!" with Kate
    Jun 27 2021
    There's a word that has been on the naughty step for a long time. According to Dictionaries and Language Regulatory lists worldwide, it's offensive and vulgar, but it usually means something different to everyone. You may have guessed it, that word is Cunt. So how did this ancient term for vulva arguably become one of the most offensive words in the English Language? Well, Dr Kate Lister, Lecturer and Author of "A Curious History of Sex", talks to us about the Cunt's history, our relationship with the Cunt today, and how powerful the word truly is. This is a Shut Up Small Talks episode - thanks for listening! Dr Kate Lister - "A Curious History of Sex" Instagram - @more_whores_of_yore Twitter - @WhoresofYore thewhoresofyore.com

    The Nanna's Who Save Native Forests with Di
    May 4 2021
    Australia has seen plague, floods and devastating bushfires, and these disasters are only escalating. During the Black Summer of 2019 - the summer that engulfed Australia in smoke and fire - Scott Morrison prayed for rain...but his prayers were not answered. Luckily, the Grandmothers of Australia are facing the industries that are decimating their environment and the landscape head-on! Today, we speak to Di Shanahan, an original member of the activist group "Nanna's For Native Forests", about their continued fight to save the forests in Western Australia.
