We Do Hope podcast – Pilot Episode

Welcome to the We Do Hope podcast:
Pilot episode

Season 1 | Episode 1
Our hosts journalist Jessie McDonald and theatre-maker Tilly Reith chat about their hopeful reads, watches and listens; about lockdown hair, farming... and dogs.

Listen above or on Apple and Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. 

“Come for the hope. Stay for the dogs.”
Jessie and Tilly talk about everything from what hope means to them, what excites them in this first season of the podcast, and how they first bonded on Zoom over Tilly’s link to Miley Cyrus, Jessie’s houseboat life and their mutual dog obsession.

Tilly reveals she’s an Archer’s megafan and Jessie recites lines from ‘You Sexy Thing’ in the introduction to our Hope In A Hurry section — which will become a regular feature in each episode — as they share a hopeful read, watch, listen and anthem.
