In the latest episode of Four Tall Towers Podcast, we're chatting all about Series 4 Episode 4 The Essay! ๐ Connie is struggling with her work, and Ruth is trying to help - but is her "helping" really just cheating?!

In this episode, we discuss it all, including how we'd feel about sneaking out at night, the dynamic between Ruth and Connie, and our thoughts on Darrell's pick for the Head of First Form! We also talk about how we feel about the word "essay", and all the homework-based memories it brings back! ๐ฌ
Oh, and if you have any ideas for the name of that skeleton (or if you know what it's actually called), make sure you let us know! ๐๐ฆด
