Welcome to Episode 4 of our Isolation Diaries mini-series here on Newshub Post-Credits! Hope wherever you are you're staying safe in your bubble and the wait for the lockdown to lift has not been too wearying.

Until then, as always, we have a podcast full of pleasant nonsense to distract you from the quarantine blues. This week, the wonderful Newshub reporter/presenter Wilhelmina Shrimpton joins Kate Rodger and me to talk about the best guilty pleasure rom-com watches you can get stuck into to distract from the omnishambles which is the real world in 2020.

A quick note before we started, the audio quality in this episode is definitely lower than we'd like and we can only apologise, COVID restrictions have unfortunately meant we can't access our usual studio. Next week we'll hopefully be back in a studio, so please bear with us dear listeners.
