In this episode, we talk about some of our favourite memories of 2022, and discuss some of the books and movies that have left an impression. Please note that there are some mild spoilers for the books and movies discussed, but nothing major: No twists, or surprises, and we don't spoil the endings. Having said that, if you're the kind of person who prefers to go into books and movies completely blind, we suggest you stop listening to this episode at exactly the 14-minute mark.
