We are heralding Annie McManus on our first item today, she's been giving evidence to the misogyny in music inquiry at the House of Commons' Women and Equalities Committee in London. She's been lamenting the lack of women in the music industry and speaking about her experience as often the only woman on a show bill.

Lots of different chat for film and TV this week - Nicola has watched Strays - the doggy tale not for kids. We have news of a Murder She Wrote movie - eeeek and a new Buffy series - double eeeek.

Our Fox of the Week is Billie Jean King, an absolute Queen in the world of women's sports and beyond. Hear about the infamous 'battle of the sexes' she took part in when confronting male chauvinism head on.

Nicola has an absolutely must-have app for you if you're a regular flyer - Flight Radar 24 - find out why on the podcast.

Finally, we talk culture night, back for it's 18th year this weekend.

Thanks for listening! And hi to all our new American listeners xx
