What this episode covers
OK, maybe not *spectacular* as such — but a laid-back summery edition anyway. Emily and Chris share their fave summertime astro-related reads, films, TV shows and podcasts, as well as their go-to sites and apps for fun and retail therapy. Plus, Emily discloses her weird YouTube habits, and shows off her quilting skills. Come for the fun, stay for the puns!
