In today’s episode, Steph treats us with a riveting story of a gaslighting platypus and Kelly basks in Taylor Swift’s Person of the Year title. We gush over Margot Robbie and Angelina Jolie, ponder what Cillian Murphy eats for dinner, discuss an ace tip from Dolly Alderton on how to recover from heartbreak, and go from a crime drama > top holiday films in content recs.

We also talk about how normal it is to think “what am I doing wrong” when it comes to money and why we feel hopeful paying attention to the UN Climate Conference happening this week.
