Another week, another podcast... Or a few, based on Becky and Sarah's suggestions for this week. Once again it's been a bountiful week of viewing, listening, reading and fostering an astounding number of new obsessions, including but not limited to Dan Levy, pumpkin pasta and Emily In Paris.
Our guest this week too is a jack of all trades, and annoyingly a master of them all too. Abbie McCarthy is an award winning presenter for BBC Radio 1, 4 Music, Match of the Day 2, and (along with our Sarah) a fellow BBC Music Introducing presenter, in her case for Kent, making her responsible for discovering the likes of Slaves and Sports Team. No biggie. She is the founder of the internationally renowned Good Karma Club nights, is an A&R rep for Insanity Records, and as we discover in this episode, really knows her sitcoms. Her journey to greatness has been one paved with hard work, determination and graft - if you've ever been interested in radio or broadcasting, this is most certainly the episode to download and take notes.

You may have heard too that we're poor and as such have a Patreon which is quite frankly hilarious and, with all the fun bonus goodies you'll get, greatly worthwhile - no matter how much you're able to spend! It'll also mean that we have the time to be able to keep making these as while they're very fun, they're also a lot of work. Have a goosy-gander here lovely friend: https://www.patreon.com/calmdowndear?fan_landing=true
