#12 - Nostalgia
Is Nostalgia good or bad? Has it become too powerful? Why are we obsessed with what was? When is a remake a worthy remake? Annabel mostly asks questions that neither Ian nor Annabel can answer. One thing we can agree on, Nostalgia has some serious Perception Issues.

#10 - Caught between two cultures
Ever heard of intragroup marginalisation? No, nor had we. But what effect can being caught between two (or more) cultures have on a person? How does that constant niggling fear of rejection or guilt potentially impact much larger emotions? Annabel and Ian discuss, examine this concept at a personal level and consider why it is so rarely talked about.

The Reply All episode
We referred to a Reply All episode featuring Sal, a Syrian refugee living in Turkey, whose story is both heartbreaking and possibly scarily typical of so many in the present day.

#9 - Emails
What are they trying to say?
Ian and Annabel rant-lite about people losing the ability to speak like normal human beings when they enter the workplace. Bloated emails, I.M etiquette, acrid acronyms and baffling buzzwords. You get the picture.
