Ben, Jonas, and Inès were all inspired by Netflix juggernaut The Queen's Gambit this week, and move conversation through its opening moves on chess, to an endgame considering the ingredients of a world champion, all with the grace and poise of Anya Taylor-Joy (we wish, at least). Stay tuned to find out why Ben has stopped believing in mouths, why Inès has traded cows for ducks in her playlist-making endeavours, and which podcast that Jonas recommends as being both interesting and not interesting at the same time. As ever, tangents are not only encouraged, but relied upon.
