Recorded on Zoom across two continents!

This week on Two Ginger Gems, World Cup fever, more Marilyn, and the Bear is back. James is broadcasting from a heatwave-ravaged England while Kate and Mikki hold it down in LA, and between them they've watched basically every World Cup match, with a special shoutout to the legendary Scottish fans in Boston. There's the Marilyn Monroe exhibition deep dive, Sleepless in Seattle turns 33, The Bear returns for its final season, the ITV drama Believe Me is a gut punch, and a one-night-only pop-up with pizza legend Chris Bianco was a genuine treat. Plus England's 1,200-year-old Major Oak has died, and Kate finally gets her hands on the tarot deck again after weeks of asking everyone else to pick. The card is The Source.
