The Women's Boat Race
Saturday marks a moment of history when for the first time the Women’s Boat Race is rowed on the same day and over the same course as the men’s. Clare Balding will be presenting coverage of the race. She joins Jenni to look forward to the race, to consider its history and what it means for women’s sport and, perhaps, to give us a hint about whether Oxford or Cambridge will be crossing the finishing line first. Â
Football Clubs and Sexual Consent Training
Brighton and Hove Albion football club have been giving its players training in issues around sexual consent. The club is one of the first to provide the training to its young male and female players. In 2013 four of the club’s players were found not guilty of sexual assault on a young woman. Jenni hears from Sue Parris, the club’s head of education and welfare about why they chose to educate the players. They are joined by footballer Chike Kandi, who took part in the training session.ÂBecoming Deaf Aged Four
When Susan Daniels became CEO of the National Deaf Children’s Society back in 1992 she was very much a pioneer.   At the time there weren’t that many female CEO’s of national charities – let alone ones who had been deaf since they were 4 years old. Susan joins Jenni to talk about her own experiences of growing up as a deaf child, the work of the NDCS and what more needs to be done to ensure that all deaf children reach their true potential.Â

I Can Manage Thank You!" and Helen McCarthy, historian of modern Britain at Queen Mary University of London debate how the role of grandmas has changed over the past 100-years.Credits
