A super special fun episode with the debut of Lilly on the podcast! This is the one where Emma and Elliot chat with their 4-year-old daughter, and she ends up taking over the conversation and interviewing us about all sorts of things - getting a bit carried away. Lots of laughing as she was in a silly mood! And so we have this conversation recorded, and we thought we'd share it for you to enjoy...

Apologies, there is some microphone scuffling, thumps, and slightly reduced audio quality compared to normal. Lilly was very eager to hold the microphone at all points and swing it around!
