018 One Year of Baking Sourdough

The Rewind celebrates its first birthday, and we look back on the last year and our favorite episodes. We then get into the weeds with our mutual fave musical artist, who played a pivotal role in sparking our friendship – Taylor Swift. We reminisce about our personal histories with her music, our various blogs, how her songs carried us through some of our happiest and darkest eras, her latest album The Life of a Showgirl, and round it off with each of our top five songs from her oeuvre.

We're so back after a refreshing summer! In the first episode of season 3, we dive into an animated chat about our nostalgic and new favourite films and shows this summer.

In the second half of the episode, we recount our summer travels to France and South Korea, complete with inspiring bookshops, meaningful family history discoveries, peaceful walks, and unexpected conversations with strangers.

015 Something Beautiful Travels Far with Shaista Tayabali

In our final episode of Season 2, we have a heartfelt chat with poet and writer Shaista Tayabali, exploring the profound ways in which creativity can shape and heal our lives. Shaista shares her long journey with lupus, her move from India to the UK, and how poetry, blogging and writing became both her solace and her voice. We remind ourselves of the invisible strings that connect us through and beyond time, the ripple effect of our stories, the stubborn echoes of loss and grief, the necessity of humour, the sparkliness of possibility, and the essential role played by art and words in navigating life's hardest moments. Shaista Tayabali is a poet, writer, blogger and occasional teacher living in a quiet village in Cambridgeshire. Her memoir ‘Lupus, You Odd Unnatural Thing’ captures much of her life with a persistent auto-immune illness, and her poetry attempts to draw on threads of hope, joy and beauty.  Read Shaista at: Blog: Lupus in Flight [http://www.lupusinflight.com] Memoir: Lupus, You Odd Unnatural Thing [https://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPUS-YOU-UNNATURAL-THING-auto-immunity/dp/B09MYTDVH5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2AUAKGO85ZTUO&keywords=shaista+tayabali&qid=1639099604&sprefix=Shaista%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-1] Poetry: Something Beautiful Travels Far [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Something-Beautiful-Travels-Shaista-Tayabali/dp/1725862654/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1VUR8ROL7LJJQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.RknjKISJUeLV4hkPCCk_jbhD78zsL8sUq64tpBOXEg4.uT3u0ndQ2VMz_9S5Q4AKvO7etxUelF391JMK_qbLbKY&dib_tag=se&keywords=Something+Beautiful+Travels+Far+shaista&qid=1746640685&sprefix=something+beautiful+travels+far+shaista%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1] and Two Women [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Two-Women-Shaista-Tayabali/dp/B0BB65QKTS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3BOF0ZER09WN2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2QEqnufP0uK3I3ThAAzlGhbRmRgDdNHFyZYH6BWPPxF_uaTIZlbdmkWwiad-HjYxf18uau5CHlsxn0G2x1wxpIiQnr3qkIF2HGcmvBRt5p4.u2VLTmJbfrfIS2KxSVRuhN4ZMkWzZvHNK9ziofl8M7g&dib_tag=se&keywords=Two+Women+shaista&qid=1746640660&sprefix=two+women+shaista%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-1] Instagram: @shaistatayabali [https://www.instagram.com/shaistatayabali/] More mentions: [Blog] Oblomov’s Sofa [https://oblomovssofa.wordpress.com] by Shikha Chhabra [Poem] Japanese Maple [https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/15/japanese-maple] by Clive James [Podcast] Good Hang with Amy Poehler [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hang-with-amy-poehler/id1795483480] [Book] Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-reum [Book] Mother Tongue: The Surprising History of Women's Words by Jenni Nuttall  [Book] The Elegance of the Hedgehog [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elegance-Hedgehog-International-Bestseller-ebook/dp/B0DL9TM9FB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QO7YPTU3M43O&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SFzZ-9Xd5cIHJkQqQlzb2M-wob7zY-I_j0puBsRwrK1UyH82MblzkTwcFuKJbDPAa_X4MpB7TyAL86jlBGs1nyyBaiPFoldDXFkvgCilTC_l7N1YfxiwtvbhLuBeIEozENchb0biFeusvmk9odbQLClLZRtQO5b5ARmWVambti2E3mqZBFOgPNii43STyAS46PXG1uP7NdpbLpHIQgjirA.aYzvw_32P_p98gp-DgF7SQsn9HZCWZ8VjI42sXu9aTI&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+elegance+of+the+hedgehog&qid=1746641024&sprefix=the+elegan%2Caps%2C194&sr=8-1] by Muriel Barbery [Book] Paper Moon [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Paper-Moon-Rehana-Munir-ebook/dp/B07YTQ4LRZ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=JEUHKNLIR37K&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gv55qWFRBuu8i8g-ljUJZ1ml-zuF4NxSxtpMMmo3FUfMuDLEgqaRRBsIZyEQiAhedTlSA2_9ZEYJN_EGWgYG14u4aZIS65cKEi0s7oNexM6kXzskJglHjIZJmQKyUD-q4uRnLOQDl4w5d_5lC844BXo4ShX6m7KHg_f9p_sgvFngzCAEtBk1fg6MCnrUJCGLDEKv7SLR3Soh4vRIHitcMOoj54LKu_HrP78XLhhAuag.BxehtDsOj4CYwmnjnH3Iet9L1klminp7_NRQCDOMbbY&dib_tag=se&keywords=paper+moon+book&qid=1746641074&sprefix=paper+moon+book%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-4] by Rehana Munir [Film] Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me  [https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/selena-gomez-my-mind--me/umc.cmc.39yw4dp13gshxq5bt9fsl0o5y] [Poem] Wild Geese [http://www.phys.unm.edu/~tw/fas/yits/archive/oliver_wildgeese.html] & The Summer Day [https://www.loc.gov/programs/poetry-and-literature/poet-laureate/poet-laureate-projects/poetry-180/all-poems/item/poetry-180-133/the-summer-day/] by Mary Oliver  [Book] Anne of Green Gables by L.M.
