And not just that - we moved podcast hosts too so this is a real test of whether I have pasted the right feed address in every single one of the dozen or so places it could go.

Rosie moved house! Jessica had a birthday! Does this even work?!

http://www.rosieandjessica.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/aurora-teagarden-nick-miller.gifThis is not Nick Miller.

If there’s one thing we both love, it’s a quiz. If there’s two things we love, it’s a quiz and Hallmark movies. In this episode, Quizmaster Rosie shares two Hallmark quizzes she wrote in lockdown, most of which is still relevant.

Snacks! Jessica’s got ’em. This episode was recorded in late October 2023, just before Rosie actually moved house (which she may have mentioned once or twice…) It’s still nice! Enjoy!

In Episode 145, Rosie and Jessica tell you everything they plan to do in a season that is almost over. You see, Rosie’s old laptop, the Edit Booth 3000, died to death and the episode had to be liberated from within it.

In episode 143, Rosie and Jessica are just normal men, innocent men. They’ve celebrated Rex Manning Day, been on holiday again, and established an absolutely astonishing snack drawer. Then there’s a discussion of a play that gets us closer to an explicit rating than we’ve ever been before. What do you mean, normal men? (This joke wasn’t as old hat when we recorded this episode.)

We’re stepping back into the podcast time machine this week and visiting 2015 which, quite frankly, sounds great. Back in Episode 51, Rosie and Jessica were celebrating three years of podcasting with their Top 5 Sisters (you see, Rosie and Jessica are sisters so it all makes sense.)
