0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by Airbnb. Lately, I've been reminiscing about some gorgeous summer
0:06.5	holidays I've been lucky enough to experience over the last few years. And I want to tell you
0:11.2	about one of my favourite trips to Athens a couple of years ago. It was peak summertime,
0:17.4	so it was about 37 degrees and sweltering. But luckily, the Airbnb we stayed in had a
0:22.7	gorgeous shady courtyard. It really was the perfect place to chill out in the afternoons. Plus,
0:28.8	the home had great aircon throughout. I'd use the guest favorites filter to find the place.
0:33.8	It shows you Airbnb's most loved and recommended homes. It made booking the place
0:39.3	even easier, and it was so reassuring to know that many other guests have stayed there previously
0:44.4	and also had a lovely time. The Airbnb was tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood, away from
0:49.4	the hustle and bustle of the city, but just a 10-minute walk from the Acropolis, which made it feel
0:53.9	way more local

1:01.1	I wanted to share my failing with friends subscribe episode with Cynthia Nixon for all of you.
1:07.3	Each week, my guest and I answer your failures and questions. It's a real, candid moment where the spotlight

1:20.0	failing with friends episode just like this one and add free access to all How to Fail episodes. Follow the

1:42.2	Hello, dear subscribers and welcome back to failing with friends. This is where we turn the mic over to you and you have been busily sending in your questions, your please for advice, your failures and we're so delighted. Thank you. Please keep them coming. This week I'm joined by the effervescently wonderful Cynthia Nixon. And we've just been talking about green tea and how much we both love green tea.
2:04.6	So if you want advice on green tea, I would suggest asking Cynthia not me.
2:08.8	I thought I knew a lot.
2:10.0	She knows way more.
