## Resource

Before we can fully begin today's episode, we have to check in with Fi's menagerie... After that, Jane and Fi cover exam anxiety, being livid in shapewear, not recognising yourself at a children's party, and polygamy gone rogue. Plus, corruption could be rife on the office floor... They also speak to actor Leila Farzad about starring in the holiday-from-hell drama 'Two Weeks in August' and her new play 'Under the Shadow'. The TV shows that Jane and Fi recommended today were 'Gold' and 'Legends'.
