Hi Olivia. Hi, Ione. And hello to the listeners, in particular, hello to Grace. He left a

lovely review saying, I love this podcast, super engaging and important conversations. Love Heart. Thank you, Grace.

Thanks, Grace. But for now, welcome to the Polyester podcast. I'm Ioni, and I'm the founder and editor-in-chief

of Polyester Online, in print and everywhere else. And I'm Olivia, the coester podcast. I'm Iione and I'm the founder and editor-in-chief of Polyester online,

in print and everywhere else. And I'm Olivia, the co-host, producer and editor of the podcast

we published weekly episodes of The Sleepover Club one week and Obsessions the next.

This week is the Obsessions episode where Olivia and I talk to a person we admire about

something they're obsessed with that has nothing to do

with how they generate their income. And next week it's a sleepover club where Ioni and I have all

those gorge conversations you'd usually have it asleep over with your galmates. And it's lovely.

Failed off at the end there, could you tell? It is lovely. But today is not a sleepover club. Today is obsessions. So, and also, before we

get started, thank you for all of your lovely feedback on last week's episode with Tavi. We've had

loads of messages and people tagging us and stuff and all of that kind of stuff, which was very

cute. We also got included in someone's newsletter. Which was gorgeous.

It's so nice. So nice. Especially when you're talking about self-care because obviously the episode was really nice, but sometimes when you talk about self-care, you're like, I just want everyone to be okay and I don't know how. Yeah. So it was really nice to hear some nice feedback. And be nice that week, do you know what? Yeah, therefore. So what have we got today, Olivia?

Today we have Juliaia armfield which was a recommendation of mine because she

not last year the year before published in hardback a collection of short stories called salt slow

and i love short stories of course and i am with sleep, and she wrote a great short story called The Great Awake, but I don't want to do any spoilers, but it's like one of the best collection of short stories I've read ever. Yeah, everyone bloody loves it. Yeah, it's bloody brilliant. She's a great girl, and I've, like, bought it for so many people as a gift. I know now that it's out in paperback because I've bought it for my friend's birthday. And actually, I've just got a new house, mate, and I bought it for her before she moved in. I was like, you can't live with, that wasn't really, like, you can't have read this book. You are not allowed in this house unless you've read this book and julia is

talking to us about shark movies yeah which is just great when you're like oh yeah we do obsessions
