Ep 185 The Dorchester, Germaine Greer, RTÉ Women & Tone Police

January 25, 2018

The sexist antics detailed in the Financial Times exposé on the men-only gala organised by British charity The President’s Club at the Dorchester Hotel in London last week, shocked us here at the Women's Podcast. We asked Irish Examiner columnist Alison O'Connor and comedian Tara Flynn to pop into studio to discuss this and some of the other stories making us cringe or cheer this week.
