On the first ever episode of Thinkpiece, we discuss the perils of high heels and their role in the workplace, the sexualisation of weather girls, Hollywood’s problem with abuse and Ryan Gosling’s problem with forming sentences (plus the saving grace that is Matt McGorry), and the difference between women and girls. Also, we tell you what we’ve been into this week and why. Listen here or on iTunes.

Feel free to get in touch with us on Twitter or send us an e-mail at [email protected], we’d love to hear your thoughts.
