    Note from Future Rachael: No you are not back on schedule babe but don't worry about it xUhmmm sorry for the tiny hiatus! Rachael turned 30 and bought a house literally within 9 days of each other and fell off the radar a bit. This is Rachael typing in 3rd person btw not Corey being passive aggressive.

  • 10. Summer Essentials; Name that Tune & What We’re Hating?

    01:33:41
    The sunshine is here and we’ve come to the end of Season 1 ahead of our big summer blowouts! Our reading this week includes a book of bite-sized therapy for millennials by Sarah Crosby as well as a fictional memoir-type by Taylor Jenkins Reid.We have 2 no-nonsense podcasts, Pandora Sykes’ ‘Pieces of Britney’ and the Irish Times’ ‘The Women’s Podcast’. We’ve watched Anna Kendrick in Love Life which tells the story of first love to lasting love and Michaela McCollum in High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule in which she tells her version of her arrest and time served.Rachael theorizes on the houses all of us inherit at birth; and our finale special topics include a show and tell and a one-off “What Ya Hating?” segment (disclaimer: it’s very first-world problems-esque).

We only ask the real, hardhitting questions here in the show-notes.We review the Netflix Original Movie, Fatherhood as well as BBC's Time; Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers and The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave; and two of our new favourite podcasts- A Bit of A Mouthful and The Food Medic Podcast.Our throwback this week explores whether it's possible to have hobbies as an adult or is it just, y'know, living your life- cooking isn't a hobby, it's a chore, babe. Finally we wonder how anyone can look stylish after 18 months away from society- we don't know how to dress anymore!
