BONUS EPISODE: To mark IWD 2022 we have rereleased this collection of female apologies.
They come from the types of people and places we rarely hear from - even within the feminist / woke / pro-diversity world.
Not only that - they are uninterrupted and entirely free of corporate, celebrity or government pinkwashing.
If you can't tell, we're pretty proud of them.
