Standard Issue Podcast

You might know Tat Effby as social media sensation The Caketoonist, sharing her brilliant, doable recipes with a hefty slice of humour all over the social media platforms. Tat’s now an author. Her first recipe book, Bake Your Sweet Time, takes traditional flavour combinations and puts them in recipes that vary in length and difficulty, depending on how much time you want to spend in the kitchen. It’s a triumph. She chats to Mick about caking, baking, and taking sweet liberties.

Dame Tracey Emin burst onto the art scene in the 1990s and controversy has followed her ever since. Like in 1999, when her Turner Prize-nominated My Bed caused a media frenzy. Emin's raw, autobiographical and confessional work is very personal yet also platforms the wider female experience through its themes of abuse, sexuality, poverty, and reproductive rights. 

Jen chats to Jess Baxter, assistant curator of major new exhibition Tracey Emin: A Second Life at the Tate Modern, about the artist, her work, and the expression of the female experience.

The Loving, Messy Realities of Sibling Relationships.

Hannah and Mick have braved this week’s onslaught of fresh hell. They’ve even tried turning it off and on again, but no, the news keeps newsing. And so they’re chatting the timescales of “immediate” change, archaic criminal law going through the Lords, ice cream and landmines in Croatia, and the sad slaying of the Buffy reboot.

Dench, McKellan, Atkins, (Richard E) Grant! Who doesn’t love a bit of Tim Sullivan’s weepie ‘90s romcom? Hmmm, maybe Mickey and Hannah. Maybe even Jen herself. But can its sublime cast or Simply Red save this week’s offering?
