In this episode, Hannah and Aphra try not to explode in anger as they discuss Alabama's alarming new rulings around embryos, an anti-abortion society that's been formed at the University of Manchester and the latest on Shamima Begum’s case - as well as a rare piece of good government news. Digressions include a hungover Aphra and Schrodinger’s GP.
