Hello,
December is here, and we’ve curated the perfect mix of content to settle into the season.
Is it too early for a festive rom-com? Netflix’s Queen of Christmas might have something to say about that. Feeling the weight of hustle culture? Oliver Burkeman’s transformative book offers a fresh perspective on productivity and time.
For binge-worthy TV, a new family epic from the Star Wars universe awaits, and for a different kind of drama, there’s a reality dating podcast with an unconventional twist. And for the homebodies, we’ve found a cosy YouTube channel that’s as comforting as a warm blanket.
Enjoy exploring this week’s picks!

Podcast | Hang Up
Tired of reality dating shows focused on marriage? Enter Hang Up - the dating show with no strings (or rings) attached. Each season, one Star dates six prospective matches over the phone, never seeing them face-to-face. After each round, the Star eliminates one caller. The twist? In the finale, the winning caller chooses to join the Star on a luxury vacation or hang up and take a cash prize instead!
