Smartphones, socks, and self-doubt welcome to Episode 10. This week, we ask whether the cure for imposter syndrome is just narcissism in disguise. We talk quitting booze without becoming a fun sponge, the secret joy of butter spreadability, and how to lose (and find) a sock in the middle of a work presentation. Also: car cleaning as therapy, TV licence vans, medieval monarchs, and why free furniture disappears faster if you say it costs £30.
Plus: we take a proper look at the difference between worry and imposter syndrome, do a totally scientific quiz, and consider the true moral cost of giving up alcohol. Spoiler: Richard thinks it’s fine as long as you're not drinking alone at a Christmas party for one.
