Strength can look like a lot of things and comedienne Jessica Fostekew starts at the most dirty, functional end of things - strongwoman. It's where weightlifting meets theatre. You might have seen on the telly at Christmas, the one with Geoff Capes running around with a fridge on his little finger or giving an entire train a tow with his body. Jess talks to four-times Britain's Strongest Woman Andrea Thompson and multiple world-record holder Mayyah Blair to get their take on strength, aesthetic and why the strongest women in the world still have to work part-time. And she tells us about the time she pulled an actual bus. Lets face it, she goes on and on about it. Written and Performed by Jessica Fostekew. Producer: Lyndsay Fenner A Mighty Bunny production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4, first broadcast in March 2023
