In a difficult week, Rosa and Charlie chat over the Boro defeat and consider how to make sense of why we all care *so* much (too much?) about our football teams. Spurs (and Conte) coping strategies are discussed, as is the Chelsea/Abramovich situation, the Everton game and Ashleigh Neville's much-deserved Player of the Month award. Plus, of course, culture recommendations are made. This one gets deep!

Culture recommendations (Rosa: Ukrainecast [BBC], Kleptopia by Tom Burgis, Intrigue, Mayday (BBC) and Absolutely by Dijon; Charlie: Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart and Reason to Smile by Kojey Radical]
