SIM Ep 904 Pod 276: Cosy crime, pool time, and rhythm and rhyme

With “cosy crime” making waves in the literary world right now, journalist Hazel Davis jumped on the Zoom to chat to writer Flic Everett about why we’re forgoing gritty reality, and her new series of novels.   In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen chats to Rebecca Achieng Ajulu-Bushell, former Great British swimming champion and host of the Physical Capital podcast, about representation, mental health, and myth-busting. And in Rated or Dated, we’re feeling the rhythm and, indeed, the rhyme, as we watch 1993’s Cool Runnings.   Meanwhile in the Bush Telegraph, Mick and Hannah take the dog’s ears out of their mouths for long enough to chat bloodsuckers aplenty, including grifters and bedbugs.
