Welcome to episode six of Two’s Company, a fortnightly podcast hosted by Sophie Hellyer and Grace Kingswell. In today’s episode we discuss Billie Eilish breaking the internet, the gymnasts taking a stand against sexualisation, whether it’s ok to wear crocs on the red carpet, and Grace has a rather lovely chat with our first guest, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, about his love of cold-water swimming.
