Finely Aged Cheese Rewind Episode: Keeping Up Appearances with Laura Spencer

This is a throwback to May of last year, as we did this episode to honor our grandma, who had recently passed away. It was a lovely, lovely time with guest Laura Spencer. Here is what we said then:

Leslie and Lynne lost their grandmother Emma in late April, and wanted to honor her with an episode about "Keeping Up Appearances", BBC classic TV show and one of Grandma's favorites. Our guest this week is Laura Spencer, PR and communications expert. This was a really fun episode, and we love Laura and she is now our friend because, in part, we all could easily put our hands on crowns in our respective homes to add to the fancy vibe while we recorded. We talk all things Hyacinth Bucket, class, and humility, and comedy, candlelight suppers and how funny shows can also be social commentary.

You can find her on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-spencer-bb46336/.
