Oh my god we ventured down the Royal Family rabbit hole, and guess what we found? Racism! This week, Hannah and Aphra cover the weird expectations the tabloids are placing on Meghan, the disgusting treatment of Diane Abbott - one of our longest serving MPs - and Olivia Rodrigo standing up for reproduction rights for a hot minute. Digressions include the Pope’s sexy white puffer coat and an unhealthy relationship with Animal Crossing. 

Content warning: this week’s episode covers some really horrendous anti-Black racism.
