Description

Rhiannon and Alex are setting up a WhatsApp group for listeners who want to share their thoughts and add nuance; we’re creating a community of Thunkers! Rhiannon tells Alex about a brilliant Radio 4 programme, mixing comedy with the brutal world of caring, in Mary Bourke: Who Cares? Alex has been exploring the murky world of postpartum psychosis in Catherine Cho’s Inferno. Rhiannon smooths things back down with two TV recommendations, The Bear and Clarkson’s Farm, while Alex shares her thoughts on the film Queer, starring Daniel Craig.
