Inevitably, politics is at the forefront of their minds in this get together, but there's plenty of chat about parenthood and why it's OK to admit playgrounds are boring (for adults). </p><br /><p>Marina and Jemma enjoy playing clips of their Jen Brister highlights and it all makes for a very fun Trawl. </p><br /><p>Jen's new special: The Optimist</p><p><a href="https://800poundgorillamedia.com/products/jen-brister-the-optimist">https://800poundgorillamedia.com/products/jen-brister-the-optimist</a></p><br /><p>Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><br /><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.
