Uhmmm sorry for the tiny hiatus! Rachael turned 30 and bought a house literally within 9 days of each other and fell off the radar a bit. This is Rachael typing in 3rd person btw not Corey being passive aggressive.

You can tell when I (Rachael) do the show notes because they are literal chaos....

Anyway here's the things we mentioned and we promise to make up for the gap in scheduling with a special treat.....

We're a week late but we're sorry and the audio isn't a mess so that's gotta count for something....

This week we're talking about Fiona Donohue's interview on Anything Goes with James English, Jonathan Van Ness's appearence on Jameela Jamil's iWeigh and the life of Yeonmi Park. What if Bill and Hilary hadn't gotten married? Curtis Sittenfeld's novel, Rodham, examines just that. We decide IF we're lovin' "And Just Like That" and we discuss burnout and the childhood trauma caused by Dame Jacqueline Wilson...

*It's a nerdy Simpsons reference, guess who did the show notes this week....

This week we're crying over mic quality again (sorry!!) and wondering how to kick off an episode candidly. We talk catfishing and swindling for Corey's reccommendations. Are we weird for wanting authors we've never met to be friends with us? And remember when we thought 30 year olds were real life adults??!

Our throwback is on all things cringeworthy that may have made it to social media in our younger years and our topic this week: well, it wouldn’t be January without mention of some resolutions.

Our reading this week includes a book of bite-sized therapy for millennials by Sarah Crosby as well as a fictional memoir-type by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

We have 2 no-nonsense podcasts, Pandora Sykes’ ‘Pieces of Britney’ and the Irish Times’ ‘The Women’s Podcast’.

We’ve watched Anna Kendrick in Love Life which tells the story of first love to lasting love and Michaela McCollum in High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule in which she tells her version of her arrest and time served.

Rachael theorizes on the houses all of us inherit at birth; and our finale special topics include a show and tell and a one-off “What Ya Hating?” segment (disclaimer: it’s very first-world problems-esque). Be cotton or be nothing?

Massive thank you for everyone for listening this season and massive appeal also to send us some of your pet peeves @whoyalovinpod on Twitter

How are we on Episode 9 already?!

Is it Alma Mate-er or Alma Matt-er? And what are "cute tights", Rachael? We only ask the real, hardhitting questions here in the show-notes.

We review the Netflix Original Movie, Fatherhood as well as BBC's Time; Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers and The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave; and two of our new favourite podcasts- A Bit of A Mouthful and The Food Medic Podcast.

Our throwback this week explores whether it's possible to have hobbies as an adult or is it just, y'know, living your life- cooking isn't a hobby, it's a chore, babe.

Finally we wonder how anyone can look stylish after 18 months away from society- we don't know how to dress anymore!

For our topic this week, we’re talking about society’s heightened awareness nowadays thanks to social media and in particular the wave of bloggers/influencers who’ve taken to sharing their pregnancy/ birth journeys online.

This week we have another podcast recommendation for the foodies; a show for fans of The Night Stalker and we dip our toes in the sea of Greek Myths & Legends.

We discuss that characteristically female-friendship occurrence where we try at length to avoid conflict and how things can eventually over-boil (sometimes into full-scale fights involving blocks of cheese!).

We discover the #bookstagram community & in our throwback we share our experiences of State Exams and the accompanying pressures. Tip: do your best & don't sweat the small stuff!!! #sayitlouderforthepeopleintheback
