Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Today we cover Penelope grappling with trying to maintain the three sides to her life - Penelope Featherington, Penelope Bridgerton and Lady Whistledown. Can she be all three women at once, will she ultimately have to give up her passion of writing in order to be Colin Bridgerton's wife? Lucky we have the wise words of Madam D to bring Penelope back to reality. We love women supporting women and Madam D is a pro at it.

Sincerely,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Today we bask in the afterglow that is the church dance scene. As the church go-ers congregate outside, we take a look at the side stories taking place.

Lady D is determined to keep her brother's D away from Violet, Eloise shows she still has a lot to learn in the ways of friendship, Fran feels slighted by her mother's lack of faith in John and the Featherington's throw barbs like its their professional job. Side stories tangents are always extra spicy.

Sincerely,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Today we discuss the etiquete of church as we hear the archbishop announce Penelope and Colin's nuptials. We also discuss our favourite penguin 'happy feet' Colin Bridgerton breaking all of the rules to dance with his betrothed,

Yours Ladies Bridgerton want to be in their happy Polin era just a little while longer and so we included some book readings that matched the energy of the scenes.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

We are excited to bring to you our initial thoughts on Season 4 Episode 1. What a whirlwind of an episode, from Cinderella moments, managing mamas, Polin in their loved up era, Benedict in his lover era and everything in between.

We tried to keep spoilers to a minimum but best to listen to this episode once you have seen the episode! We will do a deep analsis on the episodes when they officially release to the public but for today, here is a teaser.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Yours Ladies Bridgerton return after a 3 week hiatus between recording, so you know the tangents be tangenting today.

We start out discussing holiday breaks then dig into all of the latest Bridgerton news, which has been plentiful in the time we had off.

For today's entree of the episode we discuss LAdy Tilley and Benedicts relationships before moving onto the delicious main course that is our favourite male quadro - John, Will, Benedict and Colin. We love the love in this bromance and hope for more of it in season 4.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Welcome to 2026!!!

In today's episode we dive yet again into the tales of the Mama's as we look at the different mothers approaches to difficult situations. We see Araminta throw her daughter to the (royal) wolves, we see Fran also throw her mother to those same wolves, and in the surprise of the century, we see Portia having the most real and candid conversation with her daughter.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Merry Christmas everyone! As a christmas present, we decided to drop this weeks episode for you a few days early!

In today's episode, we look at the scenes of Colin confronting Eloise in Colin's study as well as Eloise confronting Penelope in Pen's bedroom. In this episode, we really go into the steep personality changes Eloise' has gone through this season and analyse her relationships to Colin, Pen and Cressida - and let me tell you, what we have to say is no glowing review of Eloise,

Enjoy Sarah,

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

It is time for another Bridgerton battle, this one, takes place on a Macaroon tray instead of a Pall mall field though, but rest assured, the battle is faught with as much vigor as an olympic sport by each sibgling vying for the last chocolate macaroon.

John watched on in horrified terror, Eloise is trying to play it cool as if she isn't ruining her brother's life, Colin is channeling his inner Anthony and Violet is off with the fairies.

Oh, and John announces their engagement with the best humor possible.

Yours Truly,

'The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Unfortunately, my computer is suffering difficulties so our audio quality has suffered and I cannot access our intro's - next weeks episode we are back to recording on the computer with our regular sound quality! We thank you for your patience.

In today's episode we get to discuss the cuteness that is Colin and Pen being in their lovers era as he calls upon her after their engagement party. They both are still blind to the depths of one another love for each other.

Over in the Cowper estate, Cressida is told to try her hand at writing gossip about the sheep in Wales with aunty Jo... so that is exactly what I have done. Enjoy the latest issue of Lady Whistlebaaaaawn.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

This week, Lady Tash is experiencing technical difficulties and as a result, could not access the audio files for our intro/outro/transitions. Hopefully we can rectify this for you soon!

Today's episode, we finallllyyyyyy finish discussing the events at Kates baby announcement... whoops, we mean Cressida's coming out party, whoops, we mean Violet and Marcus's first date, whoops, we mean Benedict unsuccessfully soft launching his new girlfriend... what where we talking about again?

Poor Penelope and Colin deserved so much better.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgereton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

We continue our discussion of Penelope and Colin's engaement party. In today's episode we look at the continued selfishness of Portia and Eloise and how they have made so many of Penelope's important moments all about them. We also take a look at Lady Tilley's standing in society and with Benedict. Lastly, we take a rare moment to criticize Violet's parenting style.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Join your Ladies Bridgerton in the most tangenty of tangenty episodes - not because your queens are causing the tangents, but because the writers at Shondaland HQ decided to focus on a million storylines in one ball. This one ball will therefore be a multi-parter but for today's episode, we cover from the arivals and the way through to Eloise giving out her ultimatum.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Join your Ladies Bridgerton as we join the Ladies Featherington (Dankworth and Finch) on the chaise loungers as they begin their very slow ascent into their healing journey as a family.

Portia is up to her old tricks, alienating whichever daughter/s that best serves her while Penelope's pregnancy potions are brewing.

We also take a quick look at what a healthy family and communication looks like as we jump over into the Mondrich's living room. Will and Alice are helping each other navigate the adjustments to wealth, affluence and the expectations that come with it.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

In today's episode we finally get to unpack Don Quixote and all that it means to Colin and Eloise as the two finally discuss the elephant in the room - Colin's love for Penelope. Episode 5 is really not Eloise's finest moments whether that's as a sister or a friend so buckle up for a wild ride.

Buckle up as Tash the Kiwi takes you on a deep dive of Swiftology and how it relates to one Penelope Featherington (Bridgerton). Apologies to Lady Pattie as she tries to survive this Swiftie in her new album era.

We took the opportunity of a Taylor Swifts 12th album drop to look at the Bridgerton's and what Taylor Swift era each would be. I may have dove a bit too deep and therefore this is a 2 parter. Let us know if you agree with our Era choice ans if you enjoyed this episode- which Era or Bridgerton you would like us to do next.

We also take a short stroll through Hyde park with John and Fran, while we eye spy Violet looking for her favourite spring treat - Lord Anderson.

Todays instead of being Lost in Translation, your tangent queens were definitely lost in the tangents.

We started out with good intentions of discussing the 24 hours proceeding the engagement - with a focus on Polin - but the road was a bit yellow and we found we were no longer in Kansas.

Enjoy the stroll down Tangent Lane with your TQ's.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Welcome back to yet another book reading of Romancing Mr Bridgerton. Today we try our hands - or rather our voices - at reading Chapter 14. Is Felicity getting engaged to Colin? I think Portia is still confused on that one a millenia later.

Tell us, which engagement smack down did you prefer, the book or TV iteration?

Yours Truly,

Join your Ladies Bridgerton with a cheeky beverage as we delve back into the spicy scenes from the book and anaylze how they differentiate from the scenes from the TV series.

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

In today's episode we begin thinking we can tackle all of the great sibling love stories of Bridgerton, but in true Tangent Queen fashion, were seriously underestimating our abilities to deep deep dive and therefore, today's episode will only focus on our OG couple - Daphne and Simon, affectionately known as Dimon.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton

After a long hiatus (3.5 weeks between recordings for us) as we have been traversing the seven seas and stumbling across the valleys of Middle Earth, your Ladies Bridgerton are back at it.

In todays episode we look at the most surprising rule breaker of all, Miss Francesca Bridgerton and her accosting a fumbling John on the streets of Mayfair. Speaking of rule breakers, did we witness the start of a potential love affair to come? Or was it simply the blooms of friendship in the Cowper Calling Hour (cough, witching hour).

Yours Truly,

The Ladies Bridgerton
