Writers, hopeless romantics and best friends Rebecca Baird and Emily Fletcher attempt to legitimise their English Lit degrees by talking a lot about stories. We’ll talk books, films, and music, share our own writing journeys and delight listeners far and wide with our adorable friendship. When it comes to good stories, we’re obsessive, we’re effusive, we’re analytical... well we’re just completely Infatuated.
