Every now and then, Women’s Hour likes to make you prick up your ears a little. I get tired of having to listen to Jenni Murray or Jane Garvey explain for the millionth time to a politician why women might not be voting for them, ‘have you tried… female friendly policies?’

Because I am not middle aged or a mother I often find myself glazing over a little when I listen, that’s when they get you; pow! ‘Today we’re talking female masturbation’ and (actually) today: kerblammo! ‘What has punk done for women?’

After Jane Garvey’s opening line of being far too young to have been a punk (it took a while, but Jane Garvey’s now one of my favourite Radio 4 presenters, I think she could handle the Today programme Ceri Thomas. Maybe I am middle aged?) she introduced Toyah Willcox, Gina Birch and Caroline Coon to discuss what punk had done for them. 

Last night Squeamish Bikini went to a recording of new Radio 4 panel game Dilemma. The show’s premise seems to be the old Would You Rather game, good for whiling away car journeys when you tire of Name That Tune.

Sue Perkins hosts, making Dilemma stand out from a sea of male led panel games, or any show for that matter. This is a show that should make the diversity audit pay attention, sadly for that fact alone. But wait! There’s more!  Whilst in keeping with the one host, four guests format last night Dilemma deviated a little bit and had a ratio of three women to two men! And no-one imploded!
