Coming up on Diggets.

I always felt so giant as a girl who was 5'10.

0:04.7

I was taller than lots of people in my class.

0:06.5

When you're tall, you can't vanish in a crowd.

0:09.1

People always spot you.

0:10.3

I suddenly found myself in the sun, I think it was,

0:12.7

and they were talking about my third nipple.

0:14.4

How can I have never heard that story before?

0:17.2

All of that right after this.

1:11.2

morning that it really helped with their mental health and they really look forward to Monday mornings

1:15.5

because we're here. And I thought what an incredibly positive, wonderful thing it is that the podcast

1:20.4

is for people. If that has that effect on people's lives, I am so happy we're doing this.

1:25.0

Yeah. Even if that's one person who's happy, yay, that makes me really happy as well. Also, I think we need an alternative word to doom scrolling. Because I know, you know, hands up, I spend way too much time on my phone. And I do sometimes think, read a book. So go and tidy out those boxes downstairs, do the shopping list.
