Love this show

I don’t really know how I found Your Cool Aunts, but I know when I found it (them). It was while I was living in England during the pandemic. It was both a lonely time and a time of creative discovery and Your Cool Aunts brought so much more comfort during those lonely periods than I imagined I needed. Re-listening now in 2024 I seriously miss them. I miss Sam and Ted reading Claire’s letters. I miss the stories of France and wineries and Claire’s journey… anyway, thank you so much for this most excellent podcast project. xx
