2.8 Generation BO, wardrobe crises and socialising after lockdown

This week, we're talking about our firsts after lockdown: first lunch with friends, first browse of a bookshop, first deathly hangover as a parent... Charlie's realising how much she missed conversations with strangers, and Frankie's struggling to rediscover her personal style after a year of big changes.  Plus, we're talking about caterpillar cake wars and how hygiene standards have slipped during lockdown, and sharing recommendations for our favourite articles, podcasts, films and documentaries of the moment.
