Hey friends! This week we took a Podcast trip to York and experienced opera for the first time. J got emotional. I remained emotionless. Standard. So pop on your opera glasses (are they still a thing? We never had any. That's sad) and join us for an evening of classical music and operatic vocals which comprise of one line being sang 15 different ways in the space of 20 minutes apparently. J provides beautiful in depth analysis and is proper committed to becoming a full time opera fan now so hit her up if you want to join her operatic society. J & N xoxo.

Fact check: Kiri Te Kanawa did indeed sing The World in Union FOR RUGBY…not football…and definitely not with Queen…
