While Sara re-adjusts to civilian life post-Edinburgh, it's everyone's favourite kind of episode: A CLIP SHOW! Only the finest pickings from the past year-and-change of interviews, though. PLUS: How Sara's Fringe ended. AND: An unlikely hero emerges. WARNING: Contains potentially offensive accents.

| FRINGEWASH #3: With Matt Forde | 21 Aug 2024 | 01:02:16 | |
Our final episode semi-recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, and Sara thinks it's the 2nd best interview we've ever done. Geoff is more circumspect about making those kind of statements, but you're in for a treat: Comedian Matt Forde talks about his new show "The End of an Era Tour', and this tumultuous past year of his life. Plus, if you're here for the Hermitage of Braid content, good news! There's an arguably overly-long anecdote about the Hermitage of Braid.

Dear Cuties, The sun is shining and Sara's personality is more bearable as a result! We fêted Geoff on Father's Day and found a classy docu-series that forced us to confront our own internalized hippyphobia. Plus: We talk to Sian Eleri about her new BBC Three series 'Paranormal: The Village That Saw Aliens'. She helps Sara figure out whether she herself has been (non-anally*) probed and is, over all, a delight.

| FRINGEWASH #1: With Jessie Cave | 06 Aug 2024 | 00:56:57 | |
Sara's at the Edinburgh Fringe - or is she? So, it's the first of our summer specials where we talk TV with the festival's most dazzling comedians. Today, it's Jessie Cave. We loved her previous Edinburgh show, Sunrise, and she's back at the Fringe with *two* shows, An Ecstatic Display and a work-in-progress with her partner/ex (delete as applicable) and baby-pappa, Alfie Brown. You may know Jessie from her many TV appearances and acting roles, or as Lavender Brown in various Harry Potter movies and other I.P. She's funny, she's insightful, she's candid, and she's got all the talent. It's all very triggering to Sara, but she'd still like to be Jessie's BFF.

| Get Your F***ing Hand Off My Lemons. And Kitty Flanagan (FISK) | 30 Jan 2024 | 00:54:45 | |
Heyyyy! We all made it through January (touch wood, there's still a day and a bit to go. Oh no. What if we've TEMPTED FATE?), and we're thrilled to bring you Kitty Flanagan - creator and star of 'Fisk' on Netflix - all the way from Melbourne, Australia. We had some tech issues, and the sound is a bit ropier than usual, but it used to take 18 months to get episodes of 'Neighbours' from down under to the UK, so it's a miracle, really.
