SIM Ep 777 Pod 225: Cyberstalking, handbagging, and rodents of unusual size

Guardian journalist Sirin Kale’s new podcast, Can I Tell You A Secret?, explores how a cyberstalker wreaked havoc across the internet and ruined people’s lives. She chats to Jen about obsession, fear, the lives we lead online, and how the police and CPS are letting victims of cyberstalking down.  Back on September 8, Hannah chatted to actors Kate Fahy and Marion Bailey about playing Margaret Thatcher and The Queen in Moira Buffini’s play Handbagged. That’s right, September 8. Just hours later the Queen died, and so we’ve held onto this interview for a little while. The play is still running (at The Kiln Theatre, London, until Oct 29) and Hannah, Kate and Marion’s chat is still a corker.  In JOTB, Jen’s looking at various internationals and doing some announcer practice, and in BT, there’s good energy, bad energy, and a whole lot of Hands.   Plus, Mick girds her loins as she throws a much-loved film to the Rated or Dated wolves. Rob Reiner’s 1987 fantasy adventure comedy The Princess Bride is a firm favourite in the Noonan household, but what do Hannah and Jen make of it? FIND OUT.
