  • ***BONUS EPISODE*** Spontaneity has left the chat

    We're baaaaack!! Another lockdown = a new episode of Cradle To The Gram.

    Some things are too good to keep hidden away and in our infinite wisdom, we've decided that we are one of those things.

    Tune in to hear us talk about how much we miss unplanned socialising, including a hilarious story time about our best ever unplanned night out.

    Catch us on @cradletothegram on Instagram and send us your spontaneity tips...

    • The COVID Diaries - Part 6 - Identity Crisis

      "It's not about the glass being half full or half empty. It's about the bar you're sitting in."

      Join us to hear about how both unemployment and the reality of lockdown have changed our relationship with how strongly we consider our jobs to be a key part of our identity. We also touch on some of the positives and lessons that we have taken from the last couple of months that we actually want to keep, rather than throw in the 2020 dustbin.

      As always, we want to hear from you about what your own experience has been like over the last couple of months too, so check out our Instagram @cradletothegram & drop us a DM, send us a voice note or comment on our most recent post.
