Summary
This week Charlotte and Liv are looking to the little (and larger) joys of the summer months- with a hot weather medley to get stuck into. Diving straight in with their summer reads and the gateway book that finally rescued Charlotte from her Book Drought 2024, we go from the best reads to the Olympics in one, erm, pole vault and will begin campaigning for pottery painting to be at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
There’s also big talk of chemise summer (what else could one possibly be wearing?!), why men simply can’t help themselves around barbecues and a Miranda Priestly style lecture on the now infamous Charli XCX slime green. So whether you’re listening from the back of the bus or the edge of the ocean- hopefully you know there’s a big ol’ squeeze of joy to be found wherever you are this summer.
If your life has been changed by a new musical discovery, we very much want to know- please send us your West End anthems (and everything else) over at thefringeofit@gmail.com, and for high quality collages and a lovely carousel (if you’re lucky) of things we chatted about you can have a nosey on our IG too @fringeofit
