SIM Ep 938 Pod 290: Live from Antarctica and the Fountain of Destiny!

Sort of. This week, Jen's been on the satellite phone to bone fide polar adventurer Harpreet ‘Preet’ Chandi. Preet recently broke a third World Record, becoming the world’s fastest woman to complete a solo unsupported ski expedition to the South Pole. She chats to Jen about the how and why, accepting failure when it comes, becoming a role model and looking after your mental health. Speaking of which, Mickey's been on the Zoom with our resident psychotherapist Jane Watson to talk about "the overwhelm", how to spot it and what to do if it's not as simple as "have you tried removing stress from your life?" In BT, Hannah has a smorgasbord of vaccination news, while in SOTW, we look at #OppenOscarBarbieHeimerHistoryIsForMenKenGoslingGerwigGate. And in Rated or Dated, we ask "is this the reason there are so few statues of women?" as we watch 1974's The Golden Voyage of Sinbad.
