In this week's episode frustrations are running high with the Football Association (again), and with news from the Veteran Fencing World Championships in Dubai.
The team discuss the incredible achievements of American swimmer Trudy Ederle, whose story is brought to life in the Disney film Young Woman and the Sea, and we reach dizzying heights with our "star of the week". You'll find a repeat offender in the "sin bin" this week, there's news of a crowd funder in pool, and the team give a well-deserved shout out to the Telegraph's Oliver Brown.

Author Drew Augustine returns to the WRN podcast to read an extract from her crime thriller, The Twenty Murders, a dark and compelling story set amidst the culture wars.
As its protagonist Detective Constable Morven MacLeod goes undercover, we are drawn into the fury and fear that descends upon a women's meeting. -
WRN Scotland's Mary Howden hosts a book group discussion with Drew Augustine about her first gender critical novel, the crime thriller Twenty Murders, which follows the hunt for a serial killer in Scotland. Set against and influenced by real events, Drew explains how she wanted to write a book with purpose and one that would surface the issues around gender ideology, not just for women and children, but in the capturing of our institutions, and how she will always find space for romance and a dog in her novels.

2024 will be an election year. We will have local elections in many constituencies, Police and Crime Commissioner elections and almost certainly a general election.
Elaine Miller knows whatโs involved and explains all to WRNโs Zoe in this conversation where you can hear about Elaineโs experience of running in a by-election as an independent candidate.
If you have thought about running as a candidate yourself, Zoe and Elaine discuss how to go about it and how to access a pack that Elaine has put together to help women who decide to stand in local or general elections.Hustings are where political candidates meet us โ the electorate โ and we get to quiz those candidates about their plans and what they think about the issues that matter to us.
But someone has to organise them, and if there arenโt any hustings in your area, maybe that could be you.
Zoe and Elaine talk about how to run a hustings and how to ask killer questions at any hustings you attend.
There has never been a more important time for women to be politically involved, whether that's running as a candidate, supporting a candidate or holding their local candidates to account.
So letโs hear what Zoe and Elaine have to say. -
