  • It’s me, hi…. I’m obsessed

    I only just discovered this podcast and it’s like the warm hug between best mates and the juicy goss of others. I love how you’re dissecting the best rom coms (literature, film and tv), but doing it in a way that I feel like you’re in my living room with a glass of wine in hand. Obsessed.

    I love this podcast! Listen to an episode every Sunday while I do my meal prep. I used to listen to Ash on the radio, so this podcast feels warm and familiar and comforting. Love listening to Ash chatting about romance movies and novels. Definitely my cup of tea ❤️

You need to find out if your partner is really properly willing to do the work.
