One slice short of a loaf: Recent Episodes
Gemma Higley
When Pip Russell and Gemma Higley aren't busy finishing a Drama degree or working in a secondary school Autism department, they enjoy a good chinwag catching up on their weeks and recounting the weird and wonderful stories of two girls in their early twenties. And what better way to check in with each other than through creative word games, thoroughly judging other people's unpopular opinions and lots more. Each week their quirky friendship will show that as a pairing, they are one slice short of a loaf.
