30. Bagnums, Paris Hilton nostalgia, and playing Pollyanna

This week, Charlie's indulging in a bit of pop-culture nostalgia with a Brangelina update and news of Paris' new favourite word... while Frankie confirms - from personal experience - that her iconic baby voice is bogus. 

Following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, Frankie's highlighting the difference between amplifying Black voices and amplifying Black trauma. Plus, we're sharing our reading lists for the week, and discussing a new podcast that highlights the power of optimism. And, since the episode was recorded in the morning for a change, we swapped the wine glasses for coffee cups, and a bag of Monmouth's organic espresso beans.
