Each month, Charlotte Lorimer and Georgia Parkin learn and talk about three figures: a person, a number and an image. Their conversations also include recommendations for books, podcasts, films, series or exhibitions.

Together, we have decided that the chapter of our lives dedicated to The Figure has come to a close. Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to and supported us over the last five years. For our last episode, we explore the life and writing of the ‘philosopher-king’ Marcus Aurelius, the study that showed that 43% of women in senior positions are burned out and a collection of illustrations by Quentin Blake for the books of Roald Dahl. We hope to create something else together in future - we don’t know what or when yet - and we will share what that is on our Instagram @FigurePodcast if and when the time comes.

Please support us for the half marathon in support of The Young Women&#39;s Trust: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=the-figure-and-friends&amp;pageUrl=1
We will be running in the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday, 13th October and we really appreciate your support!
This week, we discuss Greta Thunberg&#39;s incredibly brave and inspiring climate activism and the criticism that she received, that 19 million people used the hashtag #MeToo in the year following the Harvey Weinstein scandal bringing thousands of years of suffering and silence to the surface on the world stage, and finally we have another sculpture, the Venus de Milo and talk about the accessibility of the history of art world.

Please support us for the half marathon in support of The Young Women's Trust: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=the-figure-and-friends&pageUrl=1
We will be running in the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday, 13th October and we really appreciate your support!
This week, we discuss Greta Thunberg's incredibly brave and inspiring climate activism and the criticism that she received, that 19 million people used the hashtag #MeToo in the year following the Harvey Weinstein scandal bringing thousands of years of suffering and silence to the surface on the world stage, and finally we have another sculpture, the Venus de Milo and talk about the accessibility of the history of art world.
