I started a podcast. It’s called Six Things. Each month, a guest brings six things and we talk about them. It’s as simple as that. Massage your ears with the first episode, featuring @joannawyld.bsky.social’s fine selection. Available on your favoured ear-massaging platform.

Went for a long walk in new hiking boots, a brand I’ve been using for years.
Right boot leaks, toe isn’t sealed. These aren’t cheap either. Losing brand trust… not great.
