Episode 58: Summer Jobbin’ (Had us a Blast)
Ah, another glorious walk down memory lane as we recount the summer jobs we had in our not-even-remotely-misspent youths (when you live in the country you really have to try to get into trouble): from potting teeny tiny saplings in teeny tiny pots to serving Sunday dinners to middle-aged golfers, we go deep into the […]

Episode 56: Can We Pull You For a Quick Chat?
We’re talking reality TV on this week’s episode – or, rather, Beatrice is quizzing Rosemary on what exactly it is that she enjoys about Love Island, The Bachelorette and true trash TV like Too Hot to Handle.

Episode 55: But… It Looked GREAT In That Movie!

Episode 51: Cold Turkey
Sometimes quitting can be a very, very good thing – so we wanted to talk about all of the many times we’ve managed to bravely and determinedly give up something we love(d), for our health / wellbeing / to prove that we could. From smoking to garish printed dresses, Diet Coke to refined carbs, there […]

Episode 50 – Could YOU Forgive YOUR Sister If She Did This?!?
You may not know this as she hasn’t mentioned it AT ALL on social media or otherwise, but Rosemary is pregnant and, as a result, she’s downloaded a LOT of pregnancy-related apps and been reading a LOT of “new mom” forums… One particular “quandary” stuck out to her this week, so we thought we’d discuss […]
