United Kingdoma month ago - Number one listen
Absolutely love this podcast- listen to it within hours of it coming out each week. It’s so lovely to listen to such good friends talk about current culture. The way they talk about topics is both entertaining, intellectual (way more than I could ever manage to vocalise) and nuanced. Keep going girlies!

Only downside to this pod is that I literally delude myself into thinking Kathleen and Ellie are my best friends…. I never miss an episode, love hanging out with them x
