Hi Sarah and Abby
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your podcast. Friendlier came up as a suggestion for me on Spotify about a month ago & ever since I’ve been making way through your back catalogue. You keep me company as I walk, while I hang my washing out, driving and when I can’t get to sleep. Think you for being the friends in my ears.
