For me, 2017 was the year of…
Women. Winning, speaking out, leading the country.
The best thing I watched this year...

The best thing I watched this year...
The Handmaid's Tale. Brilliant and chilling story telling and the timing was impeccable. Plus those hats…
The show I stopped watching...
The Walking Dead. It lost it's way this season, and I'm not sure there's any amount of Darryl that would get me back into it.
The series I binged the fastest...
This is a tie between Stranger Things 2 and Glow. Stranger Things 2 sucked me in with it's return of 80s nostalgia feels and Glow sucked me in with it's amazing 80s fashion and soundtrack. There was a lot of big hair on Netflix this year.
The best thing I listened to…
Was the "Ladies We Need To Talk" podcast - hosted by Yumi Stynes and produced by the ABC, it's SUCH a great listen. Yumi tackles taboo subjects in a way that makes you go "oh my gosh, why don't we talk about this stuff MORE?!!". Tell your friends about it and then watch your conversations level up.
The best live show I saw...
Adele - her voice, her banter, that bug. Amazing.
The biggest let down of the year was…
Louis CK.
And my personal highlight was…
Surviving a year of 4am wake ups with Toni and Sam. For the record, it's not them, it's the alarm that made it tough.
Sarah Gandy hosts Sarah, Sam and Toni on The Hits, returning in January 2018.
