This week we are coming in tired and a lil sick. There's chat about FRIENDS quizzes, finishing or not finishing books, what's coming up on our fyp/discover pages (Paul Mescal, duh) and again, the delight about our patreon-only Gift Guide! There's also a late episode Iris story in there for good measure.

To get our Christmas Gift Guide extravaganza on Patreon you can do that for just £$5/£4 a month AND you'll get access to our extensive back catalogue of bonus podcast episodes where we share all our favourite things we're buying, eating, reading and watching! Check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/makinganeffortpodcast

Also, please feel free to get in touch with us about any life or food dilemmas, issues or questions you have and we will offer our best advice & thoughts in future episodes. Reach us on [email protected]!
