Standard Issue Podcast

Talented multi-hyphenate Annabel Port’s The Other British Museum is a joyful collection of potted histories of recognisable items and our Mick cannot get enough. And so, she got Annabel on the Zoom to chat museum entries, the smell of Imperial Leather, the genesis of weekends, podcasting with Geoff Lloyd, and making a career out of your social awkwardness. 

As ever, there’s more available for our £5 and above patreons, and you can become one of those by visiting patreon.com/standardissue.

If the ongoing furore surrounding last week's Baftas has proved anything, it's how poorly understood Tourette Syndrome still is. Hannah chats to campaigner, comedian and the woman behind Touretteshero, Jess Thom, about living with oppositional tics, why everyone supports the disabled community (until they don't), and how the vital Access to Work scheme is being neglected.

A sports comedy? Starring Goldie Hawn and featuring the big-screen debuts of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson? OK, we’ll bite. But will director Michael Ritchie’s tale of a single mum coaching a men’s American football team score a touchdown, or will Jen, Mick and Hannah send it for a gratuitous early bath?
