#154: Sex and the City, Bridgerton, 2021 goals

We’re back for another year of Bangin’ On, and with plenty to sink our teeth into. Sex and the City is back too, but in what form and why? Kim and Kanye are reportedly on the rocks; we do what we can with the information at hand. And sea shanties have gone viral on TikTok, which is frankly joyful, but also speaks to a larger instinct towards community. A new year is an opportunity for taking stock and setting some 2021 goals, but how do you do that when there’s so much uncertainty in the world? Zan has some ideas. And Myf has been gorging on the trashy but sumptuous televisual feast that is Bridgerton, while Zan has zipped through the new novel by Elena Ferrante: The Lying Life of Adults.
