The Sleepover Club: How Social Media Aestheticised Loneliness

Every other week we'll be picking the brain of a different creative about something they admire that has nothing to do with how they generate their income.Delving deep into the minds of our favourite people's deepest obsessions, this week we're joined by the wonderful Aluna Francis. The musician (best known as one half of her duo AlunaGeorge), is telling us all about her obsession with tea. From her first memories of the beverage, to what makes the perfect cup; Aluna and Ione will be discussing why tea is so synonymous with comfort, the perils of finding a kettle in the U.S, and the lengths Aluna will go to in order to ensure she gets her brew just how she likes it.The Polyester Podcast is brought to you by Polyester's founding editor in chief Ione Gamble (@ionegamble), and co-hosted and produced by Olivia Graham (@og.irl).
