Ep. 2 Your Stories ft. Darwin, Macarons & 'The Flatshare'

This episode we’re curious about… diaries! We expose our own childhood diaries and also read you some brilliant entries from our listeners, including primary school love triangles, a lot of teen angst, Shakespeare puns and Michael Jackson! Since we’ve both been watching ‘New Girl’ and filling our own diaries with our thoughts on Jess, Nick, Schmidt, Winston, Coach and Cece lately, we’ll be talking about this iconic sitcom in the second part of the episode. As Nick said, “It’s perfectly fine to watch TV all day” - and ‘New Girl’ is definitely the perfect show for that!

The cursed year of 2020 is finally behind us! For our first episode of the new year, we’re looking back on some of the highlights and getting curious about new year’s resolutions - and the perfect show to keep you from actually sticking to them, Netflix’s Bridgerton! Tune in for sourdough starters, TikTok slander (sorry!), lockdown fashion and dukes and duchesses. Content warnings for this episode: diet culture Content warnings for Bridgerton: child abuse, mature sexual content, sexual abuse (Greta had only seen 4 episodes at the time of recording and the more explicit scenes begin in episode 5, so she's taking back what she said as there's definitely some very graphic content in some of the later episodes that you might want to be aware of before you decide whether to  watch it! x) Links: https://www.statista.com/chart/20381/most-common-new-years-resolutions-gb/ https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/2020-positive-moments Get in touch: Email: [email protected] Instagram: curiositieapodcast Twitter: curiositeapod
