A packed episode this week! Rhiannon has started falling in love with Netflix’s new fantasy show, ‘Shadow and Bone’ and Alex is still getting to grips with motherhood through Candice Brathwaite’s ‘I Am Not Your Baby Mother’, a memoir/manifesto about being a black British mother. Rhiannon has been digging into the frank and opinionated world of Katherine Ryan with her podcast ‘Telling Everyone Everything’. It was Eurovision this week and in celebration, Rhiannon watched ‘The Story of Fire Saga’, the hilarious tale of two Icelandic singers performing at Eurovision with the help of some elves and the intervention of the gloriously camp Dan Stevens. Alex has been struggling with the tragedy of ‘The Pursuit of Love’ whilst Rhiannon has been delighting in the authentic portrayal of a woman working hard in ‘Mare of Easttown’. And finally, Alex has been discovering the secrets to success with Grace Beverley!
