Introducing Controversial Corner
This is just a quick post to introduce ‘Controversial Corner’ to you. You may have heard that we introduced a new segment in Episode 5 (click the link if you haven’t listened yet, it will not disappoint). However, I just wanted to explain it in a bit more detail so you know what to expect from this fun and controversial(ish) little segment. Controversial Corner is the segment where we pose a question which we consider to be somewhat controversial, or at the very least to evoke some kind of ‘ooh’ response.

Uninformed #1 – The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window and Windfall
Uninformed is the part of the show where we have to guess what a TV show/Movie/Book is based on the name and poster/cover alone. In Episode 5, Dylan chose the Netflix TV Show ‘The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window’. Kirsty chose a Netflix movie ‘Windfall’ for Dylan. The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (Kirsty’s Guess) It’s about a girl across the street from the house of the girl in the window. When it starts raining outside, she gets pissed. Then she sits in the house all day and gets drunk, but only specifically when…

As discussed in Episode #2 of the podcast (you can listen to that here), I wanted to share a story about when I applied for a promotion but got rejected. We’ll take a look into why I didn’t get promoted and how that made me feel. You may be wondering why I’m choosing to share this. Is it because I’m sore and can’t let it go? I mean, probably a little bit, but it’s more to show you that you can often be the best candidate in the world, but sometimes your face doesn’t fit. This happens all too often.
