Recommendations for much needed escapism


Listen Later

This week, there is not much to add to horror of the news cycle. Instead, we’re offering our recommendations for films, TV shows, books and podcasts that will help you with some much needed escapism. 


You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week. Follow Abi on Letterboxd @abigib.


This is an Astrid podcast.
