The Fringe Of It

Firstly WE ARE SORRY THIS IS SO LATE (Charlotte actually uploaded this a week ago but didn't press publish, we're sacking her). In this almost outdated catch up we rate our favourite Easter treats, June's blow drying ritual and the month countdown for Liv's wedding is now upon us. In Telly Talk we discuss GOT, the new Marvel film (we've watched neither), First Dates and Wild Rose. Liv's been reading some books and we've both been shopping the Shrimps for Warehouse collaboration.

This episode we really get stuck into the fine art of afternoon tea, and name our favourite places to visit for the fine British classic. We also discuss our favourite TV shows of the week, alongside a brief trip to Brighton and a few days in the Lake District. Joining us this week, is the very informative Genevieve Richardson. Genevieve is currently on an internship at Parliament, and works closely with Catherine West (Labour, Hornsey & Wood Green). We discuss the basics of politics, unpick common phrases you might've heard during Brexit but have no idea what they mean, and how to get more involved in politics on an everyday basis.  Our Daily Edit, Brighton: https://www.ourdailyedit.com/ Mr Larkin: https://mrlarkin.net/ World of Beatrix Potter: https://www.hop-skip-jump.com/ Pose: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0003g1h Married at First Sight: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/married-at-first-sight Us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qEQmpprzSM The Berkely Afternoon Tea: https://www.the-berkeley.co.uk/restaurants-bars/afternoon-tea/ Sketch Afternoon Tea: https://www2.sketch.london/afternoon_tea.php The Ned Afternoon Tea: https://www.thened.com/whats-on/Millies-afternoon-tea Liberty Afternoon Tea: https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/information/store-services/arthurs-restaurant-at-liberty-london.html Betty’s Afternoon Tea: https://www.bettys.co.uk/afternoon-tea-at-bettys B Bakery Afternoon Tea Bus: https://london.b-bakery.com/afternoon-tea-london/afternoon-tea-bus-london-tour/ Vintage Tea Tours Dublin: https://www.vintageteatours.ie/ Andrew Marr’s History of Modern Britain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nB_PFyLgTw  Parliamentary Glossary: https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/ Catherine West: https://www.catherinewest.org.uk/ Genevieve Richardson: https://www.instagram.com/genevieverichardson/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week Charlotte makes a LOT of new discoveries- including... Beyoncé and, erm, The Voice! What a week! We also discuss internet fatigue and what to do when it all becomes a bit much as well as getting deep after watching Mums Make Porn and some new television discoveries...

In this episode we interview the world's one and only comparison coach, Lucy Sheridan. In her own words, Lucy says: 'Screw comparison! Be less ‘them’ & more you.' We talk about life online / surveillance culture, how to use comparison as a tool for positive change and ways to talk to yourself like you would a good friend. Lucy was a really generous guest, and we hope you love listening to this episode as we did recording it. As well as our special guest, we also get through a lot of Telly Talk, Charlotte's finally finished This is Us, Liv is thrilled as The Bachelor comes to the UK and we both discuss the start of the new season of Queer Eye.

We have no idea what number episode this is, we think it’s our second 39th episode…apologies for getting it wrong last week. This episode sees us have a good old chat about all kinds of different things including vaginas and vulvas, cancelling on friends (when is it ok and when is it not?) and the good old fashion telephone call. Alongside that we have our usual slice of Telly Talk and Shopping and a questionable Fridge Fantasy.  The Cheese Society:  100 Vaginas: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/100-vaginas The Vulva Gallery: https://www.instagram.com/the.vulva.gallery/ The Gynae Geek: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gynae-Geek-Dr-Anita-Mitra/dp/000830517X Sleeping with the Far Right: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/sleeping-with-the-far-right Gilmore Girls: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238784/ This Is Us: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5555260/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Nanette Boots: https://www.grenson.com/uk/nanette-womens-black-hiker-boots-commando-sole.html Lofty Frocks: https://www.instagram.com/loftyfrocks/ The Skincare Bible: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skincare-Bible-No-Nonsense-Guide-Great/dp/0241309107/ It’s Not About The Burqa: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Its-Not-About-Burqa-Sexuality/dp/1509886400/ About Arianne: https://www.instagram.com/aboutarianne/ Chocolate Hot Cross Buns: https://www.marksandspencer.com/s/food-to-order/adventures-in-food/hot-cross-buns  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the episode that Liv realises she hasn't seen American Pie (we know),we go on to discuss ALL THINGS WEDDINGS. With both of us getting married this year, we cover all of the things stressing (and exciting) us in the lead up to the big day- and ways we're taking the pressure off too. With a new Richard Curtis film fuelling our chatter (as well as THAT Panorama BBC documentary)- we've got a lot to talk about this week!

We’re back! We took a longer break than planned over Christmas and the New Year but are now ready to go. This week we have a unofficial guest, our friend Carrie (Wish Wish Wish), which we think adds rather a nice dimension to our real life girls night when we recorded. We talk about A LOT of TV, last count was 15 different shows and films...it’s safe to say we’ve been been making the most of the hibernation season. We discuss everything from Mary Poppins Returns, Torvil & Dean and then question the latest Ted Bundy Netflix offering and question whether a platform should be given to the same people and crimes.

As the big day creeps up (THREE DAYS PEOPLE) we sit down to talk all things Christmas, with Charlotte catching up with the exceptionally talented food writer Rosie Birkett to talk about everything from perfecting potatoes, the science behind the perfect dinner and tackling gravy. We also talk about the pressures around this time of year as well as some deep sequin reflection and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel...

The only way to describe our guest on this episode and the journey that life has taken her on, is a Phoenix rising from the ashes. Syreeta Challinger and her husband Rob are the duo behind MOSS: Moments of Sense of Style which is a business that has the most incredible story. The pair met in Hong Kong, and whilst on holiday in 2014 in Australia Rob suffered a brain haemorrhage and stroke. In their words 'The brand was born from a desire to create light out of the darkness; an innovative and conceptual approach to dealing with life changing events'. They produce the most beautiful products, and each product is integral to their story, lovingly and proudly made in England. We discuss starting again, learning to slow down and soul searching when it comes to identity and your purpose in life. This episode is a really heavy one, in the best way possible, thank you Syreeta for being so open and vulnerable in sharing your story. On the flip side we really dedicate too much time to discussing Christmas adverts, gold cutlery and eBay wins!

Liv and I have a catch up, I act out my favourite scene from Four Weddings and A Funeral and Liv does a rendition of the Apprentice theme tune.

In this episode we speak to the incredible Dr Anita Mitra about all things women's health from periods, PMS, and down their health. If you've not heard the word vagina out loud for a while be prepared to hear it more over the next 40 minutes than you might than the next 6 months. We also discuss Bohemian Rhapsody, Liv's Strictly Come Dancing obsession and Charlotte's latest kitchen gadget Mandolin.
