Welcome to the Highloat, the weekly current affairs and pop culture podcast brought to you by

Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes. Dolly, how are the British Book Awards?

Great, those cats know how to party. I think you pre-prepare these.

I actually didn't. I was still thinking about the fact that right before we started recording,

I had a bit of a hungover extended go at Charlie for putting us third in his Twitter bio of shows

that he produces. That's quite a high form of pedantry that. I know, sorry Siege. Dolly,

later, night on Twitter, BDIs. I do sometimes go on Twitter to see if you've re-ordered it,

because there was one point where we were a bit higher up, I think.

Aren't these things you're meant to keep to yourself? I think I'm too hungover all the time at the

moment. Too much candor. You are reintroducing your hangover to the highloat. I know, but I actually

really enjoy it because it shows that you've got some leisure time back. And yeah, I said leisure.

So much more fun than we did it so. The way it was over there. British Book Awards were great.

It's basically like Glastonbury for publishing. Like my friend Rose, who worked on the campaign

for everything I know about love said at one point she looked over at these two men in their mid-60s.

And they had like three glasses of Prosecco in between each finger, like,

totalling along back to their table in the same way that you would with like four

pipes heading across a field. I think that just sounds quite 90s. It was quite, it was actually

very 90s. Publishing is quite 90s, I always think. Publishing is so 90s. But why is it so 90s?

I wonder if it's because in like all the books and films that I watched growing up with,

there was like a glam lady. She always works in publishing. Maybe it's that.

Well, you've just made me think now that everything is like, um, down your cleaver since I sent you

a picture of a dress and said your tits would look great, isn't it? I think I'm saying thanks,
