Episode 3: Speak of the Devil! Feat. Mat Hick

Episode 2: Does the Winner Take it All?
<p>In this episode of Take Z, we talk about the tampon tax and Scottish Independence, Danish mink, and why the American Electoral College makes elections a little more complicated - it seems ABBA didn't quite get it right. </p> <p>Please note the following content warnings for this episode: animal abuse, animal culling, and mild references to mental health. </p> <p>For all the sources and resources mentioned in the show, including resources to combat loneliness, please head to linktr.ee/takezedpod to check them out!</p> <p>For emergency help, contact Samaritans on 116123 (UK only).
