#22 – Adolescent Behaviour
What do James Joyce, Adolescence, and 'vajankles' have in common? This episode of the Not Quite Write podcast, of course!
In this episode, we fully embrace our own juvenile tendencies as we indulge in some highly literary toilet humour.
We also open the mailbag to answer your burning questions and share our erotic fiction and TV show recommendations, before elevating the brow in our discussion of the TV series Adolescence.
But the real question is: who let these guys have wine? Listen as Ed and Amanda crack open the bottles a little too early and race to the bottom in the most entertaining way possible.
