Starting on a sombre note, Crabb and Sales talk about death and dying, before switching to their regular high-spirited routine of discussing what they are literately and literally consuming.

Crabb and Sales are very apologetic for taking so long to come up with a new episode and are delighted that in addition to fretting over the idea that maybe they're terrible mothers, colleagues, partners and friends, they can now feel guilty about disappointing listeners of the podcast.

We have so much to talk about. Shownotes at Chat10Looks3.com/ep20

In fact, they're almost polar opposites. Shownotes at chat10looks3.com/ep19
