Avolattes, Adult Romper Suits, And Emojis, Emojis, Emojis: Episode 2 of ‘The Lashes’

This week on The Music's latest Podcast, Maxim and Sam take on the trends

This week on the latest episode of The Music’s new podcast, The Lashes, your intrepid hosts, Arts and Culture Editor Maxim Boon and Assistant Editor Sam Wall, are taking on the trends. They tear into male romper suits and stand up to the coffee atrocity that is the “avolatte”, as well as sending a few heart-eyed smilies to the newly announced emojis and a sweet salute to the golden age of TV.

The Lashes boys are also joined by special guest, writer and comedian Claire Sullivan, who has a thing or two to say about the prematurely retired “gratitude” reaction on Facebook.

In this week’s Lashing Out – in which Maxim and Sam road test a different activity each week – they try their hand at Escape Rooms and live to tell the tale.
