Martha Bolton founded Not Bad for a Girl, a collective of women, non-binary and trans DJs, when she realised how much her local music scene was lacking in diversity. They have spent the past few years loudly and proudly running events, playing festivals and even launching a record label. They are a masterclass in how to take up space, even when you’re not invited to the table.Follow Martha @macdemartho and Not Bad For A Girl @notbadforagirlmcrFind Jess the Human on Instagram @human.jess and buy her book, Worried Whippet: A Book of Bravery, here. This podcast is sponsored by TOG24, home of Jess’s favourite outdoor wear for humans and their dogs. https://www.tog24.com?utm_source=organic_social&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=brave_little_podcast&tw_source=organic_social&tw_adid=worriedwhippetEdited by Daisy Grant Hosted on Acast.

So many of us carry the weight of other people’s opinions about us, whether it’s our partners, friends, family, people we work with or strangers on the internet. My guest today, Max Siegel, lives life entirely on his own terms but it’s been a long journey to get there. I wanted to hear from someone confident and successful who I really look up to about how he moves through the world without giving too much weight to other people’s thoughts and feelings. Find Max on Instagram @theyrequeer.

Not all of our pets are as good as gold. Most of them have challenging habits or quirks, some of them have serious behavioural problems and, as much as we love them, it can be embarrassing or lonely to be their guardians.
