Yup, it's been a fortnight already but woohooo - freedom is on the horizon! If after this week's news you're already planning your first dates/hookups/contact out of lockdown, then this episode is perfect for you as we're joined by the extraordinarily enthusiastic artist, author and sex educator Ruby Rare to answer your questions on sex and intimacy and of course, to answer a few of ours too. (Becky says this was her favourite interview she's ever done, so you know it's gonna be a good'un).

As always we've been filling our time with devouring everything cultural in sight, and for this ep that means a whole lotta good reads and some excellent new music picks. We delve into the personal essays of Sirin Kale and Molly McCully Brown, and the respective worlds we've been wrapping our heads around courtesy of Ursula Le Guin and Zoe Gilbert. Oh, and Sarah discovers a talent for singing birthday songs and yes, weirdly, she is available. How did you know?

Everything we mention is listed below for ease and if you enjoyed the ep, we'd love to hear from you. Come say hey at the following, and let us know what you've been enjoying, and show off your newly learned crafts:
