- Always look forward to this
Such a good podcast! Not many people can switch so seamlessly between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture with so much humour and knowledge. My favourite so far has been the switch from ‘what’s your favourite sandwich filler’ to ‘when did you have your journalistic awakening’

For so many things, but one is as an autistic woman hearing two friends talk through sensitive subjects with respect and love, even when feelings or opinions differ, I learn so much. Grateful and highly recommend. Gave me perspective and understanding. So generous and two highly intelligent and hilarious women.
