S2, Ep.5 - Lauran Hibberd - Gilmore Girls, Geeky Boys and Green-Tinged Sloths

It's been two weeks already, we're back in a national lockdown, there's a new President Elect, and finally, maybe, time seems like it's doing what time ought to be doing - being full of happenings. It certainly has for us at least; we've got recommendations coming out of our ears. Becky's back with another gorgeous trip to "poetry corner" courtesy of Tadeusz Dąbrowski, Sarah's all about the learning with new podcasts and a deep-dive into Elizabeth Day's How To Fail, and we crack all over again for a trip to the Four Seasons... Total Landscaping edition.

The main event though is our run through the three big questions - the people who've inspired them, their secret sideline, and their Mastermind specialist subject - with this week's guest, headliner of the very near future, the phenomenal Lauran Hibberd. She and Sarah had met once before this Zoom chat; by the sounds of it they might now be best friends and if you're into Gilmore Girls, Michael Cera, Lizzo, Rivers Cuomo, mums farting on livestreams (keep it clean now), sloths or passive-aggressively people pleasing, then please accept your pass to the club and hit that subscribe button while you're at it!

We'd love for you to get in touch, tell us what you think of the podcast, what you've been enjoying this week, and obviously, how to pronounce that lovely poet's name. Any and all help appreciated at the following you lovely person:
