Summary

What a time to be alive. It feels like we've all aged a decade since our last episode under 4 months ago.

Today we discuss lockdown life - what we're wearing; eating; meme-ing - and recommend a plethora of articles, books and podcasts. There will be another episode on Sat.

*Please do note that because we are recording remotely via a trilogy of new tech, there may be some occasional audio issues.*

This year 100% of profits for The High Low's merchandise (thehighlowshop.com) will be going to charity - 10% to Women's Aid and 90% to the NHS Charities COVID-19 Urgent Appeal. You can donate directly here: https://bit.ly/2xc17Hx
