Summary

After a long time apart, Fi and Jane are finally reunited for this week's edition of the Fortunately podcast. Together once again, they use opportunity to go through some of their favourite emails from listeners. Missives cover topics including creaky bra syndrome, solo clappers, mediocrity and orchestras in Austria. There's also something for those of us that have missed the usual action from SW19 this summer. Before they dive into the postbag, Fi and Jane have the chance to do some good old fashioned celeb-catching on the Piazza. They manage to snare Fortunately favourite Amol Rajan, who shares some details about his sock pile. Get in touch: [email protected]
