Laura's message to Steph + Abbey Gelmi speaking up about sexual harassment

This week Laura kicks off the episode with a surprise message to Steph <3

Then we speak about Abbey Gelmi sharing her experience of sexual harassment. 

Abbey Gelmi is a sports journalist, television presenter, and co-host of the podcast 'Two Good Sports' with Georgie Tunny. In a recent episode, Abbey opened up about being sexually harassed by a man on numerous different online platforms. We listened to the episode and we wanted to share our reactions.

We’re sending all our love to Abbey <3
