Episode #1
2023 Year Review
Heading into 2024 we couldn’t launch our new podcast without an ‘End of Year Review of 2023’.
In this first episode we discuss our kids’ fashion & lifestyle names to remember for 2023… a trend to remember, a trend to forget! ‘Film of the year’ – spoiler Linda only went to see one film during 2023 so the shortlist was… short! Plus, we look at what we’re looking forward to in 2024.
