SIM Ep 955 Pod 298: Love letters to Scotland

What this episode covers

Playwright Stef Smith is best known for her, well, plays. But her award-winning BBC Scotland drama, Float – a tender tangle of love, life and identity in small-town Scotland – is also well worth your time. Season one is already bingeable on the iPlayer and, ahead of season two hitting screens at the end of the month, our Mick chatted to Stef about water, women in love, representation, and the joys of being a soppy sausage. Talking of soppy sausages, Jen’s quite rightly feeling emotional about what seeing sporting women means to girls getting into sporting. And has top-tier cynic Hannah Dunleavy gone and picked a romance for Rated or Dated? Well, that’s up for discussion as we watch 2004’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Plus bullies, unfinished church business, time theory, not enough nurses, and the return of Nelson Mandela. PS: Scotland, we love you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
