You're Never The Only One Cat Sims

In this final episode of Season 1 Cat compiles tales of the very worst gifts people have received. She shares your emails, stories from the streets of London and anecdotes from her own friends. She also takes a moment to express her opinion on that Harry & Meghan documentary and shouts out all the parents out there who are shouldering the weight of Christmas with no help from an army of elves.
Finally Cat implores you without dignity or shame to rate and review the podcast wherever you listen to it. It is the single more important thing you can do to help support the podcast and ensure a second season.
