A couple of weeks ago, the world was enraptured by the ‘Tiger King’, Joe Exotic. With a captive audience (quite literally at the moment), Netflix’s latest documentary had 34 million U.S viewers in the first 10 days of its release and triggered the most unbelievable collective response across social media. People were fascinated by the […]
If you are anything like me, these last few weeks will have been a rollercoaster of emotion. On the one hand I am very grateful to be isolating with my family, able to work from home, and to have a garden to work out in when cabin fever strikes. But at the same time if […]
