It's our final episode, and what better way to sign-off from our long stroll down memory lane, than revisiting our favourite ever episode. It's 2010, we've finished our A Levels, and we're off to party in Zante, Malia, Ayia Napa, or wherever there was cheap booze, loud music, and lots of adolescent nonsense. So grab your personalised t-shirt, forget your dignity, and join us for one last hurrah of Revisiting - dancing on podiums heavily encouraged. We'd like to thank all of our listeners...

Lockdown skin, salicylic acid, and Gladiator This week, Laura G is stepping into her new role as our resident skin guru as we discuss how being forced to stay inside has affected our skin.
