0:00.0	Oh, it is an absolute joy to round off this season with the incredible podcaster and author
0:13.2	Dolly Alderton. Dolly's podcast with Pandora Sykes, the high low, began back in February
0:18.4	2017 and now reaches an average of 1.2 million downloads a month.
0:23.9	Dolly also launched an ancillary podcast to her book, Everything I Know About Love, called Love Stories.
0:29.8	So it was really interesting to pick her brains on some of her own loves when it comes to listening habits.
0:36.9	And believe me, she doesn't disappoint. Dolly and I chat about some of her own loves when it comes to listening habits. And believe me, she doesn't disappoint.
0:40.3	Dolly and I chat about some cult classics such as Guys We Fooked, Adam Buxton's podcast,
0:46.3	soul music and fortunately with Fee and Jane.
0:50.1	This really is one not to miss.

1:40.6	to not include Desert Island discs on this list, Laura, but I just wanged on about it
1:46.4	so much. I was like, do you know what? I'm going to change the record. But Desert Island Discs,
1:50.9	I've been listening to the archive and podcast format since my early 20s. But I tell you when I really,
1:57.0	really ramped it up was when I moved in a flat on my own because I worked from home
2:01.8	as well. And it's just, I mean, it does sound kind of sad and kind of tragic when I say it,
