The Listen
Astrid

The Listen is a weekly conversation between friends and colleagues, Abi Gibson and Charlie Perry, who share their observations and overanalysis of pop culture, current affairs, and their own lives. Think of it as a nostalgic, glossy magazine but a lot less toxic and with a lot more intellect.


Founder of Astrid Productions, Charlie, and Senior Producer, Abi, have been producing your favourite podcasts for years but now they’re in front of the mic. Each week they gather three stories to keep you in the know about the things that matter and crucially… the things that don’t.

Recommendations for much needed escapism

This week, there is not much to add to horror of the news cycle. Instead, we’re offering our recommendations for films, TV shows, books and podcasts that will help you with some much needed escapism. 


You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week. Follow Abi on Letterboxd @abigib.
