Football, Feminism & Everything in Between

We're back!! We've had a summer off, spending some quality time away from each other. But now we're back and ready to tackle all of the worlds problems through the lens of football and feminism. Our first guest is one of the coolest politicians today. Jess Philips is the Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, a seat which once belonged to leader of the Peaky Blinders Tommy Shelby. Jess is a passionate feminist, and has always been an advocate for women's issues throughout her career.

Football and feminism are both huge parts of our culture and everyday lives, but rarely have they been brought together and forced to get along.In this podcast, comedian and feminist activist Grace Campbell, and her father, that well-known guy from politics, Alastair Campbell, bring Grace’s obsession of feminism, and Alastair’s obsession of football together to create what they hope is a fun and thought provoking podcast.Each week they’ll be joined by people from varying industries to chat football, feminism, and everything in between. The guests will vary from football (Burnley manager Sean Dyche) to feminism (countdown star Rachel Riley) to anything else in between (Ed Miliband, Kelly Holmes, and Josh Widdecombe).*ABOUT THE HOSTS *Grace Campbell is a comedian and activist who is fast making a name for herself as a feisty feminist stand-up.
