This week, as the Black Lives Matter protests against racism and police violence following the death of George Floyd while in police custody continue across America and the world, our hosts are recognising their white privilege and trying to educate themselves, and sharing resources for anyone else seeking to do so - we’ve linked to petitions and funds to donate to below, and shared a few of the books we’ve mentioned.

Plus, Frankie’s admitting that part of her doesn’t want to leave lockdown, and Charlie’s sharing the paperback sex scenes that were seminal for her school friends (one name: Ralph). And we share our recommendations for the week - all over a bottle of organic Pura Sicilia Purato Rosé.
