James Ward introduces another curious talk about a subject that may seem boring, but is actually very interesting.... maybe.
In 2011, comedian Rosie Wilby was dumped by email. (Though she did feel better about it after correcting her ex’s spelling and punctuation).

Rosie Wilby is a comedian and presents The Breakup Monologues podcast.
Presenter: James Ward
Contributor: Rosie Wilby
