Hello again! 

After an unplanned summer hiatus we present to you the long-awaited Pride month book club episode we recorded back in July. 

Join us as we delve into Last Words from Montmartre by Qiu Miaojin, Nightwood by Djuna Barnes and Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfitt, three very different (although all quite dark…!) books we picked for our Pride month book club. It was very fun to get input from some dear friends of the pod so a huge thank you again to those who read along with us and contributed their thoughts. 

We’ll be back soon with more and some fun updates so make sure you follow us over on Instagram @thatsallfrommepod

Hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!

We are BACK and in this episode we cover the vast topic of our (many) thoughts on social media. Join us as we pine for 2011 Instagram, and discuss coming of age on social media, the ways in which being online shaped us, and finding and building community on social media platforms. We also reflect on our current relationship to social media and the internet and how social media has dramatically changed over the past decade. 

We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!
