Being an adult is scary and challenging, but has some deadly perks (like buying a takeaway whenever you want). We talk about how we're struggling to be successful adults and what being an adult actually means to us. We also asked our listeners what the best thing is about being a grown-up... and what's the worst.

PS. Don't forget to tune into Tara's podcast 'Taranoia' wherever you get your podcasts - it's whopper.

Episode 23: New Year Blues

It's 2019, and we're having ALL sorts of feelings about the turning of another year. We look back on 2018 with rose-tinted glasses, talk about our resolutions and how we're feeling entering another calendar year.

Warning: We come across a bit glum and mad existential, having been flung back into work and mundane January life... can you blame us though?
