Standard Issue Podcast

It’s a podcast of positivity, as our Mick has one of her regular catch ups with NASA’s Suze Kundu.

They’re covering all sorts of topics, starting of course, with the recent eclipse and why its study is so important. Then there’s the new discovery that menstrual blood is basically magical, wound-healing elixir to celebrate, as well as some brilliant, inspirational kids who are filtering microplastics out of water with tamarind seeds.

If you’re one of our £5 and above patreons, there’s a bonus good news story to do with little lungs doing better in London, so get involved at patreon/com/standardissue.

And give Suze a follow on the socials @funsizesuze.

Where can we get us one of those robo-teddies? And having witnessed Jude Law as a rent-a-pump mecha, will Hannah ever sleep soundly again?

Jen visited Feltz Towers to chat about the show, her career, the tabloid press, and whether or not she really was drinking custard.
