In our final episode of the season (don't worry, we'll be back in a month!) Becky has a chat with the phenomenally enthusiastic children's author Michelle Robinson about everything from building a desk in Animal Crossing instead of in your own home to the joys of listening to something faintly horrifying while you're drifting off to sleep. We didn't get it either, but Michelle was very persuasive.


Plus of course, Sarah and Becky have a natter about what they've been up to over the past week - spoiler, it's largely being mad at the heat - and debate whether humanity really is doomed. All in a day's work eh?


As always, we'd love to hear what you think of the podcast, what's been getting you enthused recently, and who you'd like to hear in SEASON TWO of Calm Down Dear. You can find us at:
