Hollow + Substantial

The Fionas are back with a brand new season of chat and comment. In this episode, after some recommendations of what to watch, and what to avoid, talk turns to alcohol and the culture of drinking, good and bad. There’s a message of hope about befriending neighbourly cats, and some wisdom about harissa paste and self-care time. Welcome to 2021, people.
