What shell be reading and watching<\/p>\n

For Netflix or streaming shows, she nominates The Power of the Dog, a movie about a charismatic rancher, directed by New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion.<\/p>\n
Favourite podcast<\/p>\n
I havent listened to a podcast for a while, but if I did, Id return to Criminal, she says. Criminal is a podcast that its makers say is stories of people who've done wrong, been wronged, or gotten caught somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n
Any neglected hobbies you only find the time for over summer? <\/p>\n
Simple really: All of them.<\/p>\n
