Let's Talk About The Pill, Shall We?

Hello hello! This week Grace gives a full Royal Ascot debrief (yes, Kate is that beautiful IRL) and Izzy has a chance encounter with our new favourite quasi-celebrity in a Hollywood Pilates class. We break down the unexpected dark side of the crystal industry; two new must-watch TV shows, and briefly discuss E. Jean Carroll's harrowing Trump rape allegations (more on that next week). Based on plenty of amazing listener feedback, we've done a deep dive on The Pill.

And how do you find the right contraceptive, when the side effects can we so extreme? True Detective Season 3The Armstrong LieIcarus - Netflix cycling documentaryThe Handmaid's Tale Season 3'Are Crystals The New Blood Diamonds?' in The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/global/2019/jun/16/are-crystals-the-new-blood-diamonds-the-truth-about-muky-business-of-healing-stones?CMP=soc_567&fbclid=IwAR3ITmZaYbtcTyd3BF9TCZcL4R9VCjgth6oLZMJkYMQq7JAOSTu4ml8xUaw'Was This Viral Proposal Staged?' in The Atlantichttps://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/06/was-viral-proposal-staged/592141/'Hideous Men: Donald Trump Assaulted Me In A Bergdorf Goodman Dressing Room 23 Years Ago.
