Show notes

Hi hello!

Today on the show, can celebrities ‘insure’ themselves against cancellation? One insurance agency reckons they can - and should - do exactly that. Maybe it’s not such a crazy idea; recovering from a ‘cancellation’ is hard work. Today we’re chatting about cancellation insurance and the recent recovery efforts of two very, very different ‘cancelled’ celebrities: Armie Hammer, and Lena Dunham.

This episode of Shameless is brought to you by Mejuri - play, mix, stack and repeat with fine jewellery. And, a big thanks to Xero!
