Work wife appreciation and raves of the near future
This week, in an effort to tempt myself outdoors after work and not straight to the sofa, I’m doing a podcast power walk. It makes for a doubly productive hour. With podcasts, I’m trying to diverge from the ‘long-ish chat’ category, but keep coming back to my favourite, The Adam Buxton Podcast. His recent chat with comedian Tash Demetriou is laugh-out-loud hilarious. His latest guest is Louis Theroux, but I think their previous interview was much funnier - I recommend throwing it back. Do you revisit favourite episodes? Send me links to old and new!
By the way, this newsletter will now be sent every Wednesday. A hump day treat.
