Stevie and Tessa have been doing a lot of reading about how to be better allies, and discuss what this means for the benefit of anyone with privilege who might be feeling confused and lost. While many of you may be further along the path, this covers the very basics that they both found really helpful in the early stages of “unlearning” and practising allyship towards any marginalised community. Recorded by Ben Williams and edited by Naomi Parnell for Plosive Productions.Photos by Marco Vittur, jingle by David Dobson.Follow Nobody Panic on Twitter @NobodyPanicPodSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/nobodypanic.

Stevie and Tessa dream about getting a puppy. Actor, writer, performer and their very good friend Liz Kingsman (Borderline, Parlement, King Gary) just bought Emmett the Cockapoo. She shares what she’s learned, what to prep, how much they wee and the weird thing about chew toys you didn’t know about. Genuinely fascinating stuff and also visit Stevie's Instagram for some top pictures of Emmet being adorable during the recording. Recorded by Ben Williams and edited by Naomi Parnell for Plosive Productions.Photos by Marco Vittur, jingle by David Dobson.Follow Nobody Panic on Twitter @NobodyPanicPodSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/nobodypanic.
