There’s never been more in life to distract us, but we’re more bored than ever before. We unpack why we’re all so damn bored… and whether or not it’s a good thing.

Plus, our recommendations, including some funny women talking about Holly’s favourite subject, a new podcast baby in our family and a TV show to watch this weekend. 

And a formal apology from Holly, Mia’s new nana name (with a sprinkle of surprise beef) and Jessie’s juicy Saturday night encounter - it’s best and worst.
