317: Warm Tales and Frigid Adventures: Acting Woes, Scottish Wonders, and a Journey to Harbin's Ice City
As the chill of winter's grip tightens, Alison and Lulu curl up with stories that bring warmth and laughter to even the coldest days. We're casting off the heavy cloak of post-pandemic blues, sharing tales from the trenches of acting and screenwriting, where the adrenaline of auditions meets the sting of rejection. Our journey across the emotional landscape of creative pursuits is peppered with humor and the odd nod to our extraterrestrial listeners – because, hey, you never know who's tuning in from the far reaches of the galaxy.
Ever wondered how a luxury travel plan concocted from the whims of AI would unfold? Tag along as we whisk you away to the mythical "Garden of Skye" in Scotland, a place where the AI's "sleet" prompt morphs into an enchanting reality. We're not just about spinning yarns of fictitious extravagance; we're stepping into the shoes of local Scots, leaving behind surprises in Armadale's quaint shops and sharing the cultural tapestry of Burns Night Supper. Then, it's a leap to the icy spectacle of Harbin, China, where an ice city shimmers and history's shadows loom at the Unit 731 Museum.
Wrap up your adventure with us as we honor the legacies of trailblazers like Jessie Sleet, delve into the vital importance of modern nursing, and even consider adopting a polar bear (because who wouldn't want to say they have a polar bear?). And if the cold's got you down, our tales of Disney's Star Wars land and the enduring battle with indoor heating will surely spark a flicker of joy. Join us, your hosts of laughter and discovery, for an episode that promises to be as rich and comforting as a hot toddy by the fire.
