In this episode we share a big life updated (spoiler: we moved) and Andrew makes Things I Said Out Loud history with his first every on-air ad. We also share a few hot takes and learnings from our move and explain why the song Yellow is booming from the speakers.

Jump to the show notes to see Andrew's office room with a view and a before/after snapshot of our kitchen.

This week’s mocktail is a virgin Mojito. (We included a recipe from Sustainable Cooks, though we didn’t have any lime, because we recorded on Labour Day and stores were closed).

If you have a fave drink, drop a suggestion or recipe in the comments.

Things we say out loud, this week

* Anthony Doerr’s About Grace (and a link to the presentation about writing we reference)

* Ann Patchett’s Commonwealth

* Coldplay’s concert list (thanks Chris Kooman for the Spotify playlist)
