So whilst Bethan is chilling at home with her parents watching law-based dramas on Britbox and getting bought Vegetarian Prawns, Greer has inadvertently chosen fish over...

A new week and a new episode of Anecdotally, a comical and potentially libellous new podcast from Greer Riddell and Bethan Poyser. I do not fancy Ian Hislop. In episode two, we’re talking about men. Specifically old men. Thankfully you never heard our teenage conversations which involved Bethan walking up to the top of an isolated hill at night to find signal purely so we could gossip about her unconventional teenage crush, the Wiff-Waffing, Ziplining, Weirdly Womanising, now Prime Minister...
