   🐟A quick rant about the sardine crisis (no proper episode this week)😡

   There's no official podcast episode this week but we have left you with a tiny lil snack of a rant about the great sardine crisis we are currently in the midst of. Sorry for not providing 11-27 minutes of food-related conversation for you this week... but you can have almost three minutes because you're the best. We'll be back soon!
