   We almost forgot the tasting....

   Heavy reading and heavy viewing this week with Sylvia Plath’s “Bell Jar”, and Suzie Miller’s Inter Alia – both well worth a read. In viewing, a great tense ABC drama – “Dustfall”, and a chillingly disturbing Stephen Graham performance in “Nocturne” (move over Hannibal Lecter).  On the lighter side Ted Lasso finished up (to mixed reviews from the boys), as did Slow Horses (with a horrifying ending sneakily foreshadowed in Episode 3). We listen to an exciting new English Jazz Chanteuse, Amy Pohler’s Good Hang podcast and return to BBC’s 13 Minutes podcast with their new series called the Trouble with Hubble. And we almost forgot the main event – Jack revisits an absolute classic Scotch and Graham visits Greece via a nice Negoska – a medium bodied red wine full of ripe fruit, silky tannins and balanced with nice savoury flavours – an excellent food wine.

   Its better with two....

   Jack is back in Oz, and that means the WWaW pod is back to its former rhythm, - like many things in life you can do it on your own but it's better with another person. Jack was restricted to his top 5 travel experiences but left us wanting more. Graham read a listener’s recommendation, and Jack read the book of a play that is about to turn into a film. We watched a young man not getting old, the hunt for a bomber, and sheep (which are smarter than you think). Meanwhile we shut up and listened to Norman F*#king Rockwell, and discovered Pallas Haze.  Meanwhile it turns out that podcast economics relies on getting a ridiculously high number of listeners – who knew? And we resisted the rabbit hole which is the UK Celebrity Traitors (but stay tuned….)
