| Episode 55 - What a Rare Bavarian Text! [S3 Q&A Pt 2] | 25 Aug 2024 | 01:21:02 | |
Sigh no more, listeners, sigh no more. The Lady in Silver has been found at last. But there’s no rest for the Wicked as Beans has found herself with a new mystery on her hands: we don’t even know which rare Bavarian text it is, but we’re looking for it. As we scour the shelves of Shakespeare & Co. for the elusive tome, we’ll also be searching for answers to burning Season 3 questions about bandaged flashbacks, Italian Contessas and babies named Ginger. Elsewhere, we try to recover from the shock of finding Kanthony inside their own home by sitting down to talk Regency mommy bloggers, Daddy issues and whether Mr Bridgerton said he’d buy the flowers himself for the Featherington estate. And as August(us Gloop) slips away into a moment of time, we’ll be reminiscing over summer love at the Polin wedding and the cryptic identity of a most important guest. Fife or not Fife: that is the question. * Join Us on Patreon * Show Notes Variety: ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Casts Yerin Ha as Benedict’s Love Interest Sophie Beckett National Television Awards: Vote for ‘Bridgerton’ and ‘The Traitors’ Instagram: @bridgertonnetflix compilation of Claudia Jessie’s promo highlights Happy Sad Confused: Jonathan Bailey talks FELLOW TRAVELERS, BRIDGERTON, WICKED, JURASSIC PARK Backstage: Interview with Jonathan Bailey YouTube: Wicked | Fiyero promo clip Harper’s Bazaar: My Beauty Edit: Nicola Coughlan Deadline: First look at ‘Outrageous’ starring Bessie Carter VSQ: ‘Vitamin String Quartet: The Music of Taylor Swift, Bridgerton, and Beyond tour dates’ * Follow Us | |||
| Episode 54 - What a Positive Tone of Voice! [S3 Q&A Pt 1] | 11 Aug 2024 | 01:27:16 | |
The Ton’s out for summer. But over here, the Class of 1815 is still very much in session. In the first of our S3 Q&As, we’ll be turning on our Regency location settings, standing on Crumbs sentry and tackling the hard-hitting questions of the social season. Which Soft Colin line still has us swooning? Which moonlight bisoux stole our hearts? And why can’t we stop ourselves from laughing at the bleakest moment in Polin history? Elsewhere, we cool off from the heat by dipping our toes in the Season 4 waters, discussing a mysterious meeting at a masquerade and an urgent call for a tiny, unnamed redhead. And as Colin gets a taste of his own carriage-flavoured medicine, we’ll be revisiting old, oblivious friends, mourning the missed moments of the season and confronting the most important question of all: Who broke the heart of everyone’s favourite snake? * Spoiler Warning 13:55 – 16:55: Discussion of leaked Season 4 audition script * Show Notes – Crumbs

| Episode 45 - What a Coming Week! [Season 3 Part 1 Q&A] | 15 May 2024 | 01:36:55 | |
Looks like we made it, dear listeners. As Season 3 Eve falls upon us like a tiny redhead tumbling from the skies, we head back into the circus tent to partake in a little last minute Part 1 clowning. As we discuss oblivious double handholds and suspicious swoons, we tip our bonnets to all the weeks that never came in honour of the one that finally did. So fill up a plate of jammy dodgers and strawberry shortcake, lay yourself back on the chaise longue and rest your headless jolly pirates upon the biscuit cushion. The season of Polin is here at last. And it is glorious. *

‘Twas the night before Polin Week, when all through the ton The clowns were up spiralling over moon balls and Frohn In this special bonus episode brought to you from the cutting room floor, we dust off our evidence boards and attempt to piece together Season 3 Part 1 using only a folder of stills, a handful of crumbs and the ramblings of some very tired co-hosts. We’ll be debating the skills of a 14-year-old archer, measuring the circumference of ever-expanding sleeves and enquiring just how easy it is to transport full-length mirrors to country estates. (Asking for a friend-to-lover.) And as Lord Wilding’s betrayal continues to cut deep, we try to distract ourselves with a moderately lethal game of Kiss Marry Kill.

| The Weekly Crumb - Issue #7: What an Eagerly Awaited Visit [First Kiss Reaction and Promo Discussion] | 09 May 2024 | 00:54:03 | |
The embargo has lifted. The promo floodgates have opened. Let's just say we've been awaiting this particular visit for a very long time. During our crumbs-about-crumbs, we'll be greeting Pen in the Bridgerton entrance hall, celebrating a cheese-loving brother-in-law and gulping down Colin's emotional support beverage. Thirsty times indeed. And though we’re fresh off the boat from Paris, we find ourselves packing our thermals and ear muffs ready for a little voyage to the...uh, Antarctic. We sure about that, Pen? Before we set sail, let's take a quick detour back to the Featherington gardens to ask one tiny little life-changing question.

| The Weekly Crumb - Issue #6: What a Remarkable Shade of Yearning [New Promo & Carriage Teaser Speculation] | 03 May 2024 | 00:45:16 | |
"Sweet May hath come to love us, Pen, Colin, their carriage don; And through Netflix heavens above us, The very clowns clown on.” Welcome to May. Welcome to chaos. We'd tell you to get in the circus tent but this one's already occupied by Pen's finger lickin' good crumb and the final shred of Colin's sanity. In this emergency Weekly Crumb, we'll be sprinting outside palaces with Colin, wiping the tears away from a distressed Enchanted Pen and squinting very hard at blurry pieces of paper. The more things change, eh? Get the carriage cleaning crew at the ready, Footman John. Things are about to get rocky. * SPOILER WARNING: This episode is based entirely on newly released promo but involves discussion of fan theories and possible spoilers, including potential script excerpts. * Show Notes First For Women: Interview with Nicola Coughlan TV Line: Interview with Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton (Part 1, via Twitter) TV Line: Interview with Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton (Part 2, via Twitter) Reddit: Theories about Episode 4 script Reddit: Osterley Colin at Full Moon Ball clip * Follow Us | |||
| Episode 43 - Rereading Mister Bridgerton: What a Gluey State of Mind [Ch 18 - Epilogue] | 24 Apr 2024 | 02:07:00 | |
Pritt Sticks at the ready, dear listeners. It's the morning after the night before and we've got a lot on our breakfast plates. In the last of our book reread episodes, we'll be sneaking an extremely dishevelled Penelope back to Mayfair, hastily moving up the dates of a small but magical wedding and taking a quick trip to some oddly brown Highlands. And as our beloved newly-weds find themselves in a rather sticky situation, we'll be stopping by The National Archives to enquire just how many cows one tiny blackmail plot can get you. Worry not, dear listeners. Because just when it seems all has come unstuck, we have a feeling one assuredly, fervently, loudly tack-tic might just swoop in to save the day.

| Episode 42 - Rereading Mister Bridgerton: What a Long Way Home [Chapters 12-17] | 20 Apr 2024 | 01:54:07 | |
Get up, dear listeners. We're taking you to church.
In our third reread episode, we'll be chasing hired hacks down Fleet Street, contemplating the logistics of carriage-based activities and indelicately faceplanting onto the streets of Mayfair. We'll also be turning up bright and early to the Tuesday Featherington family meeting, fetching watercolours with Felicity and staring out of rainy windows with a plate of smoked salmon sandwiches. And as a triumphant engagement ball turns sour, we'll be rummaging in the drawers for candles and moments of realisation. Because, dear listeners, this was Penelope and this was love. But be warned: this kitten has claws and she's not afraid to use them. * Show Notes Change.org: Petition to change the S3 poster and tie in cover of Romancing Mister Bridgerton Time Out: Bridgerton in Bowral Vanity Fair: Interview with Jess Brownell YouTube: Cast reading The Duke and I [Source of Luke Newton's "don't" clip] Twitter: Nana_Banana_Art fanart of church scene Available Internationally: Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn (Pikatus, ISBN: 978-0349429458) * Follow Us | |||
| Episode 41 – Rereading Mister Bridgerton: What a Better Part of Five Minutes [Chapters 6-11] | 14 Apr 2024 | 01:31:36 | |
Pack your bandages and earplugs – curtain’s up on the most melodious event of the season. Mozart, stand down. Lou Bega’s got this one under control. In the second of our read-along episodes, we’ll be making puddles with Colin, taking First Aid lessons from Penelope and dipping our thermometers in half-hour old bath water. Ahead of the weekend, we’ll be spending an unremarkable day sampling lemonade, squinting at inkstains and getting a little too excited on Mount Street. She kissed him on a Friday, dear listeners. And it was glorious. (And probably tasted like cheese.)

| Episode 40 - What a Way to Get Carried Away! [Bridgerton Season 3 Trailer Reaction and Discussion] | 13 Apr 2024 | 01:53:27 | |
Up, up, up and away, dearest listeners! It’s time to soar into the S3 trailer heavens at long last. As our ship docks back in London, we’re trading sea for air as we float above Mayfair alongside an extraordinary balloon, a winged god and a sleepy-but-sturdy Bridgerton. We’ll be enjoying splendid weather with Lord Wilding, laughing in the library with Blue Pen and attempting a little archaeological excavation of a broken Grecian column. And as our leading man pulls the Uno Reverse card from the chaotic deck of romance tropes, we’ll be keeping our lanterns close-by as a tiny flame finally takes flight. Rejoice, dear Polin fans. The lights are on and Colin Bridgerton’s home. * Show Notes YouTube: Bridgerton Season 3 trailer Vanity Fair: Article about Cressida and Eloise Shondaland: Season 3 trailer article + 7 new stills History of Balloons: Montgolfier Brothers - The Montgolfière-style Hot Air Balloon WikiArt: Le ravissement de Psyche, William-Adolphe Bouguerau (1895) * Follow Us | |||
| Episode 39 - What a Hands-On Courtship! [Penelope & Debling Promo Reaction] | 10 Apr 2024 | 01:02:21 | |
Hold onto your hats, dance cards and wallflowers, dearest listeners. It's time to discuss the Season 3 promo that has wrought such chaos into our lives that even Book Colin would blush. We'll be taking a trip to Hyde Park for a startling encounter on a blanket, having our dance cards filled by a hands-on Vegetarian and swooning over the long-awaited appearance of Enchanted Pen. And if you're missing our dear thirdborn Bridgerton, then worry not. It seems a Wallflower's shoulder has finally defrosted thanks to the trailing hand of a much-loved pirate. Hold on tight, Polinators. The Social Season is almost upon us and a splendid plan is underway.

She fell in love first. He fell into a mud puddle harder. Join us for the first of our read-along episodes as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of Book Polin’s love story! We’ll be taking a fatefully muddy ride through Hyde Park, uniting in the glee of matchmaking mamas everywhere and putting up the wet floor signs to mop up a rather concerning blob of Chantilly cream. And as those April showers sprinkle their way across London, we’ll be taking our black parasols for a bittersweet trip across Berkeley Square as we head for afternoon tea with a very special Lilac Pen.

| Episode 53 - What a Masquerade! [Season 4 Announcement Reaction] | 28 Jul 2024 | 00:52:49 | |
Masquerade! Sophie Beckett on parade! Masquerade! Hide your face, so the world will never find you! Paint brushes at the ready, dearest listeners. Just as we’re busy basking in the glow of our (finally) happily married Polin, it’s time to begin the next part of our journey. While we search high and low for an elusive Lady in Silver, we take a quick dip in a lake with Benedict, stop by a silent Scottish castle to check in on Eloise’s sanity, and reminisce over Tudums of days gone by with a leprechaun and her pot of gold. Benedict Bridgerton, you may run and hide from settling down – but a face will still pursue you. But who can name the face? Certainly not us. But if anybody knows who she is, tell her we’re looking for her. * Spoiler Warning This episode contains discussion of the plot details of An Offer From a Gentleman (Benedict’s story), To Sir Phillip, With Love (Eloise’s story) and It’s In His Kiss (Hyacinth’s story) by Julia Quinn.

| Episode 37 – What a Whey to Look in a Mirror! [Polin Mirror Promo Reaction] | 30 Mar 2024 | 00:50:25 | |
Just put your hand on the glass, dear listeners. It’s time to reflect on the latest Polin mirror-cle. We’re starting with the gentleman in the mirror as he finally gets around to crossing off his two-hundred-year-old to-do list, before catching up with his good friend Pen and a most hardworking pair of fingerless gloves. Meanwhile, Necklace Truthers arrive from across the fandom to ask the most important question of all: Mirror, Mirror in Pen’s room, is that her necklace from Tudum? And just as our looking glasses are getting a little too steamed up, we find ourselves plunged into the Arctic Tundra courtesy of one very cold shoulder from a less-than-impressed wallflower. Has all that Gruyère-ling self-reflection worked up an appetite, Mr Bridgerton? Well, do Comté the kitchens for a spot of evening caseiculture with Beans. Cheesemaking on a Polin podcast? You’d feta find a whey to brie-lieve it.

Pop the kettle on, the Brits are coming round for a cuppa. We’ll be nibbling on a plate of Season 3 crumbs, including the current whereabouts of Colin’s emotional support curl, Penelope’s secret garden and the passing of some very special torches. We’ll also be swinging by the drawing rooms of Grosvenor Square to squint at more blurry leaks and brew up a few loose leaf tea-ories about our favourite Regency nerds. But who’s that swirling amongst the Earl Grey? Have we been sipping on a certain Greek elixir or is Colin Bridgerton just pleased to see us? Drink up, dear listeners.

We’ll be clinging to the corners of the ballroom with a very sad wallflower, throwing back cocktails with the Lord Squad and twirling around the dance floor with a loved-up Viscountess. And as we sip on our lemonades, we can’t help but wonder if It's Too Late for a certain Bridgerton to get to the ball on time or if he’s still hanging around that box of biscuits in Milan.

Lather up the bars of soap and pack your excavation trowels because we’re travelling back to January and February 2023 for our penultimate Season 3 crumbs expedition. We’ll be throwing a welcome home party for a (temporarily) triumphant wallflower, chasing a hackney carriage through the frosty streets of Mayfair and carrying out a most sacred task: checking up on Colin’s emotional support curl. Elsewhere, we find ourselves enchanted by a British morning TV show, swooning over 0.2 milliseconds of a Polin dance and peering through the fog as a Regency romance accidentally masquerades as a Gothic horror novel. Caution: watch out for flying top hats.

As a state of crisis befalls the fandom, we're joined by Byron, a former lovesick puppy and a particularly sensitive pirate as we hold an emergency council over the latest ever-so-slightly ominous Season 3 crumbs. We'll be offering unsolicited love advice to our dearest wallflower, popping to the shops to buy a new light for Colin and sticking our metaphorical forks into the toaster in pursuit of a promised Polin spark. (Don’t try this at home, kids.) Could it truly be that our beloved ship is doomed after all? Well, don’t forsake these soulmates just yet, dear listeners. We hear a gossip boner is on hand to save the day. But please, no shouting.

We’ll be visiting Stowell House to check in on Chignon Pen and her herbivore suitor*, examining the panelled walls of the Bridgerton games room and dreaming up a Polin dance that might just save a pirate’s relationship. Uh, we mean friendship. Naturally. Meanwhile, Beans is busy in the kitchen whipping up a batch of doughy goods as the rest of us wonder when on earth metadata became so important in all our lives.

But delighted, we most certainly are. Join our still-fluttering Polin hearts as we share our first reactions to the Season 3 love stream and the sweet treats gifted to us by the Bridgerton cherubs. We'll be opening a conservation centre for broken-hearted wallflowers, lamenting with a cocky pirate over his postal woes and laying down the Bugling carpet to welcome everyone's favourite vegetarian to the Ton. After all, the course of true love never did run smooth. And some of us are about to learn that the hard way.

In these special late night crumbs, we'll be reporting to you live from Mayfair Fashion Week 1815 where one former wallflower is making blurs on runways and ring-spun cotton fibres alike. Our Fashion Correspondents will also be on standby to catch up with the ton's next top models: Anthony Bridgerton, Double Daisy Pen and the breakthrough talent of the season, gossamer cobwebs. Has it really come to a point where a 90s t-shirt is considered breaking news? Well, dear listeners, it's probably best not to pull at that particular thread. Let's just sleeve it at that.

Well, Polinators. Seeing as though THAT little warm up game is out the way, it’s time to take our front row seats for the real Superbowl: the Season 3 virtual event. In this special Q&A episode, we’ll be stretching on the training grounds of Mayfair, fumbling around such important topics as waving executioners, epilogue births and blood libations to the promo gods. Out on the field, the pre-game festivities are in full swing as the cheerleaders rejoice over the power couple of the moment, the names on everyone’s lips, the player and the songstress: Prudank. And at some point, we’ll probably mention that other couple, Polin. Heard of ‘em? But dearest listeners, our moment is almost upon us.

| Episode 52 - What a Conversation with Archer Marsh! [Interview] | 13 Jul 2024 | 00:58:47 | |
Budge up, Mr Bridgerton. We’re hopping in the carriage and this time we’ve got company. Join us as we welcome the remarkable Archer Marsh to the podcast, composer of Season 3 covers “Give Me Everything”, “Confident” and “Lights.” We’ll be following the journey from the tracks’ creation and their inclusion on the Bridgerton soundtrack, to the astonishing viral reaction from fans across the world. And as we discuss an innocuous little carriage ride, we’ll be pondering over the power of music in storytelling and why although Pen might not have got everything, she certainly got enough. Then when the carriage pulls up at Bridgerton House, Archer Marsh will also be sharing his perspective on hustling & hard work in the music industry, the need for bravery in creativity, and the essential art of letting go. For everyone except Colin, that is. You keep holding on tightly to that rope, old friend. * Show Notes – Interview with Archer Marsh Instagram: Archer Marsh (@archer_marsh) TikTok: Archer Marsh (@archer_marsh) Spotify: Archer Marsh artist profile Spotify: Sequēns, Archer Marsh YouTube: School’s Out, Archer Marsh Available Internationally: The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A.

| Episode 31 – What a Pointy Topiary! [S3 Clips Theories & Speculation] | 08 Feb 2024 | 00:46:12 | |
Dearest listeners, grab your tickets and front row seats for our encore performance of ‘Four Clowns Lose Their Minds Over 32 Seconds of Footage.’ In this special bonus episode, we can’t see the forest for the trees, but we’ll be placing our newest theories under the spotlight as we tackle the ever-growing mystery of the Season 3 timeline. We’ll be reading Whistledown with a grumpy Unicolin, drinking lemonade with Anton Chekov and contemplating whether an innocent bit of blue fabric is in fact a smoking gun-in-waiting. Elsewhere, we’ll be chasing Moonlight Polin through the shrubbery and asking the all-important question, ‘how many times can we say the word ‘topiary’ in one episode?’ Unfortunately, dear listeners, it would seem the limit does not exist. But forgive us for hedging our bets with these particular points of interest. After all, those topiaries have taken shape so naturally, one could take it for planted.

Oh my, dear Polin fans. Let’s down our glasses of lemonade in celebration of a most remarkable day. Join us for a fever dream of an episode as we finally make it to the long awaited Polin utopia: the first clips of Season 3. Pen and Colin actually moving and speaking? Together?! Astonishing. We’ll be gulping with Colin in the Bridgerton drawing room, pondering the meaning of a lilac neck tie and peering past Moonlight Polin’s shoulders to squint at topiary. Chaotic, we are. Rather direct, we are not. But the circus tent is open, Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow: it’s an early spring and the Season of Polin is finally upon us. * Show Notes YouTube: Bridgerton S3 sneak peek - Drawing Room scene YouTube: Next on Netflix 2024 (ft.

This week, we’re pitching up our excavation tent at the mystical sites & sights of November and December 2022 where we’ll be sipping tea with Fran at the market, preparing the pyre for a witch trial and handing out mysterious leaflets with the Queen’s footmen. We’ll also be mulling over rejected proposals, awaiting the delivery of a 200-year delayed mirror scene and investigating the dark sex plotline that rocked the fandom more than Colin will be rocking his carriage in Season 3.

Extra, extra! Read all about it! Join Obvs and Beans for the first ever issue of The Weekly Crumb, where we speculate and spiral over the breaking crumbs of the week. In the newsroom this week, we’ll be discussing a trailer door, a surprising plate of cupcakes and some very intriguing golden-yellow furnishings. We’ll also be pondering whether a cast photo can reveal the secrets of a Danbury-Bridgerton feud and whether Miss Cressida Cowper is a redemption-arc-in-waiting. Biscuit cushions are out.

Pop the champagne and grab the streamers, dearest listeners. It is finally the Year of Polin! In our slightly belated festive episode (you can thank the Christmas Day shenanigans for that), we share our thoughts on recent Season 3 news including the mid-season split, the updated plot synopsis and Colin’s bravado. We’ll be fawning over Colin and his Pen, fretting over promises of betrayal and honour, and indulging in a little end-of year clowning. Elsewhere, we’ll be digging out the tinsel for one last time as we take part in a final festive Q&A before we say farewell to 2023 and hello to 1815. Happy New Year, Polin fans. We have a feeling this one will be simply astonishing. * Show Notes IG: Nicola Coughlan ‘so it begins’ story Twitter: Masali Baduza speculation from February 2023 (via @RompRomance) Reddit: Sophie Beckett casting call speculation Instagram: The Perfumer’s Story consultation with Lucas Aurelio Spotlight: James Bradwell confirmed as Lord Basilio Twitter: Molly Jackson-Shaw confirmed as Miss Hartigan (via @RompRomance) Spotlight: Genevieve Chenneour confirmed as Miss Clara Livingston National Theatre: Underdog: The Other Other Brontë information Instagram: The Last Repair Shop shortlisted for Best Documentary Short Film at the Oscars Shondaland: Season 3 teaser video and updated plot synopsis * Follow Us Instagram | |||

Deck the halls with boughs of Polin! What a very merry Christmas it’s turned out to be. In our latest emergency episode, we’ll be unwrapping the splendid pile of gifts left for us under the Season 3 tree by the Bridgerton elves themselves. We'll be munching our way through leftover turkey sandwiches, brooding with Unicolin in the Bridgerton drawing room and bringing out the measuring tape to figure out just exactly how close two friends can be without technically touching. With a magical lunar ball, an injured leading man and a wallflower finally ready to bloom, it seems it really is the most wonderful time of year. The clown noses are off, the bandages are on.

Clown noses and trowels at the ready, Polin excavators! This week, we’re visiting the ancient sites of filming leaks past to try and uncover sacred crumbs for episodes 3 and 4 of Season 3. We’ll be venturing into the dusty tombs of September and October 2022, encountering such mysterious monuments as giant waterfowl, tiny carriages, and the most remarkable treasure of all: glowed-up Pen in Bridgerton blue. Elsewhere, we’ll be transforming into an art history podcast as we ask whether a Dutch painting of a horse can unlock the secrets to a rendezvous in Colin’s bedroom and if an innocuous illustration could be the key to a most beloved book scene.

Join us as we revisit the ancient wonders of July and August 2022, breaking open the Season 3 filming tombs and peering inside to see what Polin treasures we can find. We’ll be unearthing relics from an intriguingly decorated ball, dusting off the feathers of a Bridgerton debut and standing in awe before the Holy Grail of all filming leaks: Pirate Colin. We’ll also be venturing back into the Polin archive to consult the aged scrolls of casting announcements, social media posts and plot synopses before dragging all our crumbs into the Polin Lab for a post-excavation analysis, all in an attempt to piece together our predictions for Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 3.

In the afterglow of Kanthony’s happily ever after, we head back to Mayfair to say our goodbyes to a heartbroken Pen, a heartbroken Eloise, a heartbroken Benedict and…um, a pretty chipper Colin, actually. Then, we jump through the time-space continuum for one final game of Pall Mall, where we trade in our yellow mallets for green, sigh over first love and swoon over our long-awaited Lilac Colin. Elsewhere, we reminisce over the many Whistle Ups and Whistle Downs of the 1814 social season and spiral over, uh…spiralbound notebooks and stickers? Is that right?

We’ll be joining Pen as she is enlightened by an array of important lessons, including the geography and topography of American states, the less-than-ideal consequences of your best friend uncovering your deepest secret, and what exactly is and is not in Fife’s wildest fantasies. We’ll also be throwing back champagne with Colin, sighing over an astonishing but doomed waltz and quietly sobbing by a statue as we watch Colin smash Pen’s heart like it’s one of Cressida’s necklaces.

As the 1814 social season draws to a close, we begin our farewell tour of the ton, saying emotional goodbyes to Unnamed Modistes, Eloise’s friendships and Colin’s beloved baby blue jackets.

| Episode 18 - What a Ducking Mix-Up! [S2E5 Rewatch] | 14 Oct 2023 | 01:07:40 | |
Dearest Listeners, it's finally time to put all those crumbs to good use as we head to the lake to feed the ducks (and other assorted waterfowl) during our Polin rewatch of S2E5 An Unthinkable Fate. As Colin frets over which cake to eat next from his plate of snacks, Pen frets over the state of her business and family affairs. We also join our beloved pair at the Serpentine for a heart-to-oblivious-heart as Colin proves that telling the difference between ducks and swans is harder than we thought. An Ornithologist, he is not. Elsewhere, we console ourselves over the latest Season 3 speculation and head on down to the circus to share a very special crack theory with the crowds. * Ways to Support Strikers and Entertainment Workers During the SAG-AFTRA Strike Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund Donate to Emergency Financial Assistance and Disaster Relief Fund for SAG-AFTRA Members Donate to The Union Solidarity Coalition Donate to the MPTF Emergency Fund Change.org petition for below-the-line strike workers Deadline: Information about below-the-line workers petition Business Insider: How to support SAG-AFTRA/WGA strikes Blog: What can fans do while WGA & SAG-AFTRA are on strike?

| Episode 17 - What a Question! [Q&A] | 07 Oct 2023 | 01:08:10 | |
Every Polin fan knows that unanswered questions make for the most pleasing, stimulating and thrilling kind of torment. But what better way to while away the Coming Weeks than by spiralling over those questions ourselves? In this special Q&A episode, we'll be tackling Polin topics big and small, as we also contemplate our own fandom lives. When will Colin find out about Lady Whistledown? When will Peneloise reconcile? Is a swan-shaped gravy boat really the best item on the Bridgerton set or have we finally lost our minds?

Dearest listeners, pack your copy of Flora Graeca and hop in the carriage to Kent because we're oiling our way right in to our Polin rewatch of S2E4 Victory. As Pen sips on lemonade and tea at the Aubrey Hall garden party, we reluctantly accompany Colin for a trip down memory lane and a meeting of minds with everyone's favourite botanist. Elsewhere, we get our pink dresses and empty dance cards ready for the Hearts & Flowers Ball, take a special tour of the orangery and endure a distressing adaptation of a Disney classic. But dear listeners, do take care when dashing down the lawn - we hear there's a snake loose in the grass. * Ways to support strikers during WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund Donate to Emergency Financial Assistance and Disaster Relief Fund for SAG-AFTRA Members Donate to The Union Solidarity Coalition Donate to the MPTF Emergency Fund Change.org petition for below-the-line strike workers Deadline: Information about below-the-line workers petition Business Insider: How to support SAG-AFTRA/WGA strikes Blog: What can fans do while WGA & SAG-AFTRA are on strike?

As the Bridgertons fight it out over a rousing game of Pall Mall, we’ll be joining Colin for a very special tea party where we contemplate just how difficult life can be for single blades of grass. Back in London, we’ll be forging new business alliances with Penelope, enjoying a splendid dinner with the Cowpers and celebrating the arrival of everyone’s favourite Unnamed Modiste.

Polin fans are united in their glee—Colin Bridgerton has returned from Greece! Join us as we head off to the races to celebrate the homecoming of our favourite thirdborn Bridgerton during our Polin rewatch of S2E2. We'll be sighing over the Heart Eyes scene, admiring Colin's fencing skills and joining Pen for bridesmaid duties during the joyful union of a cheese-loving couple. Elsewhere, our Polin hearts will soar as we learn more about the sacred letters, only for us to crash and burn as we relive that infamous Colin line. (He's innocent, Your Honour.)

| Episode 50 - What a Way with Words! [Season 3 Part 2 Reaction] | 21 Jun 2024 | 02:26:32 | |
(The alliteration is a little overdone, we admit.)
Dearest Gentle listener, you may think we have been enjoying a much-needed respite from discussing Season 3 Part 2.
Alas, we have instead spent the week on the sofa, awake with thoughts of planned entrapments, secret dealings and sad rainbow fish.
Not to worry, we are back. The tree of Tu-doom may still be shaking in the Polin winds but we are on hand to raise a toast to no-longer-nameless judgy mamas, the music licensing gods and the succubus of the first water.
So grab the last chocolate macaron and lie down. This most anticipated love story is finally complete and we're skipping to the final chapter. * ad|invite With thanks to ApplauseStore for inviting us to the Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2 Premiere in London on Wednesday 12 June.

Dearest Listeners, dust off those giant white feathers and get ready to party like it's 1814 as we welcome in a brand-new social season during our Polin rewatch of S2E1, Capital R-Rake. We'll be sneaking around London with our favourite Irish maid, trailing through daffodils with BFFs-'til-episode-8 Peneloise and musing on just how lovely Penelope looks in candlelight. Elsewhere, our fangirl hearts squeal with joy as we stumble upon the Holy Grail of Polin lore: the scandalous thirdborn love letters - uh, we mean platonic correspondence. Right, Colin? Speaking of, if anyone happens to see a guilt-ridden 6 ft tall gentleman with a newly-developed penchant for baby blue jackets, can you let him know we're looking for him? * Ways to support strikers during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund Donate to Emergency Financial Assistance and Disaster Relief Fund for SAG-AFTRA Members Donate to The Union Solidarity Coalition Donate to the MPTF Emergency Fund Change.org petition for below-the-line strike workers Deadline: Information about below-the-line workers petition Business Insider: How to support SAG-AFTRA/WGA strikes Blog: What can fans do while WGA & SAG-AFTRA are on strike?

With true love matches, scandalous balls, dramatic confrontations and even a Polin dance or two, both seasons of Bridgerton pull at our heartstrings. But do you know which violin strings they pull at too? In this special episode, we'll be taking a deep dive into the magical world of Bridgerton's music, all in the name of hunting down any Season 3 crumbs we can possibly find. We'll be looking at how the music team work to create the world we know and love, revisiting our favourite Pen and Colin soundtrack moments and sharing our top picks from our personal Polin playlists. And, finally, we'll be embarking on the most sacred of all quests: locking in our Season 3 soundtrack predictions. Take us to Polin church, indeed.

Rejoice! It’s time to let mirth abound as we celebrate the end of the 1813 social season during our Polin rewatch of S1E8: After the Rain. We’ll be clapping along to Colin’s astonishing performance of a fan-favourite tune, consoling Penelope as she receives some bittersweet news and assuredly, fervently, loudly declaring our love for all things Hastings Ball. And then, to mark the end of our Season 1 Polin rewatch, all-out war breaks out as we furiously debate the meaning of a certain goodbye glance from our beloved pirate-in-training. Since Obvs is the one to write these episode descriptions, I’m here to tell you that I’m right and the others are delusional. Farewell, Season 1. You’ve been one hell of a (carriage) ride. Altogether now: And let the catch, and let the catch, and let the catch and toast go rouuuuuuund…

Listeners, prepare to cry into your yellow bedding as we face the fallout of scandal during our Polin rewatch of S1E7 Oceans Apart. As Pen navigates her family's ruined reputation, we'll be busy consoling a distressed Colin as he searches for answers (whilst also musing on exactly how much crying he will be doing in Season 3.)
