    Georgia Gomez: One girl, two pants

    Alongside running a dough empire, Georgia Gomez, a writer and half the brains behind Papo’s Bagels, is also the long-suffering friend of Anna Wolfe, a feat more impressive than any bake. In this episode, Georgia, who’s been sober for over a decade, shares her story of getting sober in New York, learning to look after herself again, punch-ups, and why you shouldn’t lock yourself in a guy’s apartment and refuse to leave.  The two also get into listener confessions, from Star Trek sensuality to the perils of misplaced M&S knickers.
