Episode notes

It's August! It's raining! And I'm back at the world's biggest arts festival for another year - so it's time for an Edinburgh Fringe special! This episode I'm joined by three founding members of comedy collective The LOL Word - a group of queer women and non-binary comedians who are absolutely dominating the Edinburgh Fringe and beyond. We talk getting your first period during a school prank, the waves of anxiety that can come with menstruation, and a lot about period sex. A LOT. You'll be able to tell from the first second that I forgot to bring my audio equipment to Edinburgh. I'm so, so sorry, and I've done everything I can to make it a passable listen. The content is worth it, I absolutely promise. And I'm indebted to the wonderful Matt Hutchinson who made anything vaguely possible. First Blood is a podcast about periods and puberty, hosted by Ella Woods. Get in touch at [email protected], and follow us on @FirstBloodPodcastUK on Instagram, @FirstBloodPodUK on Twitter. Follow @LOLwordcomedy, @_ChloeGreen_, @ChloePetts and @JodieMitchell_ to find out where to catch The LOL Word near you. And, if you're around, Chloe Green and I would love to see you at our show 'VENN' - 11pm at the Gilded Balloon until 13th August.
