In this episode of Comms Vs., Janine and Ben discuss lockdown easing and whether they’ve ventured out to a pub or restaurant since they opened again on 4 July. They also talk about the importance of wearing a face covering in public places and debate the limitations of cancel culture.

Ben and Janine also discuss the most recent advert from Apple, featuring a loveable set of characters called the underdogs as they navigate the challenges of working from home, and highlight some great examples of creativity during lockdown involving the recreation of famous album covers.

Lockdown lessons

Janine talks about the perils of being an adult and homeowner. Ben shares his love of Lancashire cheese - and food in general ;-)
