Episode 47: The Emperor's New Clothes with Fern Brady
This week the boays are joined by comedian, best-selling author and star of Taskmaster Fern Brady. Fern discusses Scottish identity, Catholicism, and how her parents reacted to the revelations in her tell-all autobiography Strong Female Character. She also reveals what going to Edinburgh Uni taught her about classism, the less-than-glamourous realities of working as a stripper, and how her autism diagnosis has reframed the perspective on her upbringing. Plus, there's chat of stand-up, Taskmaster, and Steve learns the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes".
