In the final episode of Jessica Fostekew's stand up series about big strong girls, we arrive at the most aesthetic and least functional of all the strength sports - bodybuilding. The Schwarzenegger in swimwear one. It's an area in which Jess is way out of her depth, having flirted with the weightlifting movement by accident over the years but never daring to face the gruelling diet. Luckily she's got two brilliant interviewees on hand to help her get deep into the nitty gritty of things - champion bodybuilder Frances Amies-Winter and actor and former bodybuilder Megan Prescott. We also find out about the history of the sport as part of circus tradition, and Jess goes to Fran's gym to train with her on leg day. Yes. She can just about still walk now.

In episode 3 of Jessica Fostekew's stand up series about strong women, things start getting technical as we look into the world of Olympic Lifting and get familiar with the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. Jess talks to Champion Olympic lifters Emily Campbell and Zoe Smith about dealing with the opinions of others, their route into the sport. and what to eat if you want to get strong (spoiler, the answer is - your dinner). Jess also takes part in an Olympic Lifting competition where she's a very much a newbie but has so much fun!Written and Performed by Jessica Fostekew Producer: Lyndsay Fenner Executive Producer: Victoria Lloyd Sound Recordist: David ThomasA Mighty Bunny production for BBC Radio 4

In this second episode of the stand-up series looking at women's weightlifting, Jessica Fostekew introduces us to powerlifting - squat, bench press and deadlift. We hear from 'Princess of Iron' Sharon Eggleton (the current second strongest powerlifter in Britain), as well as comedian and fanatical powerlifter Fern Brady, on just how brilliant and grounding it is to feel strong, not enjoying being a team player and how the rise in the female take-up of the sport is beginning to counter the toxic masculinity of the free weights area.

Strength can look like a lot of things and, in this first episode of the stand-up series exploring women's weightlifting, comedian 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-time 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.
