S1E5: London

This episode begins with a correction about malt whisky from episode 4, Whiskey Women, and Laura explains that she found “her drink.” She’s also working on an exciting project but it’s stressing her out a little bit. Sara’s blog got sneakily hacked but Taylor Swift is coming through for her on the political front. After catching up they move onto drinking gin and tonics, eating blondies, and discussing London while doing some terrible British accents. Before ending with recommendations they answer a listener question about how they decide where to go in the world.


PRODUCTS, ETC. MENTIONED:

• Laura’s drink: the Volcano at Luca (Campari, Prosecco and Amaro dell’Etna)
• ordering specialty drinks online from Pennsylvania Wine & Spirits
• Taylor Swift: 30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30
