The Cultural Director of Elle Magazine's Favourite Things

Ahoy, mateys (do we need a collective noun for you, dear listeners? Suggestions welcome),

This week Highly Enthused hosts our first Guest List! Elle McClure - Culture Director for ELLE and Harper's BAZAAR - drops in to share the things she's currently enthused about and teach us how a professional finds the things she wants to recommend.

It’s Elle’s job to be across... everything. How does she get this done, exactly? What’s her favourite book, article and playlist? Where does she get her homewares, and after-dinner drinks? How does she feel about steam rooms and being maybe a little mediocre at some creative hobbies?

LISTEN HERE

As always you can find us on Instagram at @highlyenthused, or email us at highlyenthused@gmail.com.
