Boyfriends and Break Ups PART TWO !

Huzzah! The much anticipated sequel to our episode on love (And loss) is here for your ears! In it, we will treat you to a dramatic reading of some love letters once sent to Z, compare the advice men and women are given when it comes to dealing with heartbreak, consider the benefits of the 'dead to me' approach and argue over wether or not we should be using BODMAS when it comes to calculating the time taken to get over a broken heart.

Boyfriends and Break Ups Part 1

We accidentally banged on for three hours so after some HECTIC editing, we've still had to cut this in two. Tom can't tell if a date is going well or if the other party is just too polite to leave. Zoë does a stock take of past relationships and somehow draws a distinction between boyfriends and relationships. Both reflect on the weird early 20s denial you do when you're stuck in a dead end situation-ship and ask the big questions like "at what point is their taste in decor a deal breaker?". Bonus points if you can guess our attachment styles by the end of these two episodes.

Workplace Fumigation: how do you know when it's time to go?

Just when you thought maybe we'd thrown in the towel, we're back! The title of this episode makes it sound like the kind of juicy that could get us fired but we promise it's not THAT kind of tea. In this ep, Zoë reflects on how you know when it's time to go (from a job), and Tom once again wonders if he is a psychopath. Did Zoë make the right call jumping ship? Is Tom the friendly sociopath next door? We'll let you decide. Credits: Fallon, James. The psychopath inside: A neuroscientist's personal journey into the dark side of the brain. Penguin, 2014.

Accidental Hiatus

Welcome back to the show for Season 2 of Report Back! In a fun/not fun plot twist, the first episode of the new season is the season finalé of the last season. Join us while we unpack how this happened due to the universe being a spiteful beast; feining/not feigning anger about the patriarchy; and mid-high life meltdowns. We're back and ready to rumble! Thanks for the support, love and vibes while we've been away! xx
