Summary

Why do turtlenecks evoke images of timeless style, power, and confidence? Kathleen does a deep dive on the underrated shirt we need to give a second look to! Then, Bebe discusses “The Dodleston Messages,” aka that time in the mid-‘80s when a BBC Microcomputer started posting mysterious letters from both the 1500s AND the year 2109! What the heck was going on? And who’s Gary? Plus, “Encanto” musings, a special appearance from Neil, and your voicemails!
