The Fringe Of It

In this weeks episode, we tried something a little different alongside our catch up- by asking you to ask us! With numerous questions thrown our way, we thought we'd chat through some of our favourites this week- covering everything from mental health to dream dinner party guests (Colin Firth included, naturally). With midnight cossie shopping and the (not so) wild side of Ibiza making sure we had busy weeks- we discuss life lessons from Bake Off and Liv finally finishing Killing Eve too.

In this episode of The Fringe Of It (which is a day late in being uploaded, apologies *sickness*) we talk to one of our very own listeners all about finances! Liverpool based, Julia Day runs her own business called 'Easy as VAT'. Julia is passionate about empowering women, by helping to managing their finances and cultivate confidence around money. After working as an accountant in the corporate world for years and knew in her heart wasn't for her, she now teaches women how to deal with everything money, from tax and managing business finances to budgeting and knowing your worth. We got to sit down with her and ask her all the questions we've ever wanted to ask an expert about money!

In this episode we discuss getting our periods, our new favourite TV favourites, including 'Trust, The House Of Getty', The Circle, Killing Eve and of course GBBO where we put Liv's spelling to the test. Shopping wise Charlotte's been hitting the make-up counters and Liv discusses the revival of the Cowboy boot and her style icon Steve Coogan. In this week's discussion we talk about influencers and what responsibility you have when living your life online. Where do you draw the line when it comes to sharing, do you have to bare your soul to have a genuine connection to your audience? So many questions, and so many uses of the word interesting to note too.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode twenty six this series is a special one for us, as this season it marks the first with a very special guest- with our first being none other than the wonderful Gina Martin. Discussing everything from activism, changing the law and even knowing where to begin- we talk about everything from the House of Lords to As Seen On Screen, with some serious inspiration thrown in for good measure. Naturally, there's also extensive GBBO talk, with a sprinkling of wedding chatter and orangutan thrown in for good measure.

We are BACK! After nearly a month off, here we are with season two. This episode is a big old catch up of what we have been up to over the summer, including Planes, Trains and Automobiles. There's the familiar shopping chat, Liv's made a big purchase and Charlotte has been suit shopping. In Telly Talk, we get stuck into the new series of the GBBO and the show on everyone's lips: Bodyguard. Plus our new section 'Fridge Fantasy' is dedicated to discussing our favourite foodie delights of the week. We hope you enjoy! Links to come.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode of The Fringe Of It is brought to you by Origins, and was recorded in front of a live audience at The Hoxton, Holborn on Wednesday 8th of August. Liv took Charlotte to see Mamma Mia 2 kicking and screaming, but what did she think of it? Also Autumn Winter dressing is on the horizon and we discuss the finer (and the jumbo) details of our favourite cord suits. The discussion this week is all about being 'Your Own Best Friend'. As we started the podcast on the note of friendship, we thought the season finale should look at ways that you can be your own cheerleader, and there are lots of helpful tips from the audience. We'd like to thank you for all your support over the past four months, we really love every single one of you for making it what it is. As always join in the fun in the Facebook group, and we'll be back in your ears on the 10th of September for season two.   In the meantime Origins are kindly offering all The Fringe Of It listeners an exclusive 15% off discount code to use at Origins.co.uk.

Firstly, a huge apology for the delay in sharing the episode this week- due to unforeseen circumstances it's a week delayed, so all references to our live event are now outdated (with out final episode also up this week)! It's the penultimate episode of series one of The Fringe of It, and this week we're reflecting over the last 23 weeks and revisiting some of our favourite episodes- from body image, friendship and comparison. We talk about why we began the podcast and some of our biggest lessons from the last few months. Naturally, we also squeeze in a chat about some new watches, including The Incredibles 2, and I continue to work on converting Charlotte to love Mamma Mia. Some things never change...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Just to let you know, we briefly talk about suicide (15:35) and racism in this episode (31:44).  This week we have a long catch up, firstly starting with the weather because would we be British if we didn’t? In Telly Talk it’s the penultimate of Liv’s ‘Love Island Minute’ - Liv also discusses Mamma Mia 2, Disney’s Coco and Christopher Robin. Meanwhile Charlotte’s been watching Anthony Bourdain’s back catalogue, continuing with Dietland, and is now Ladygaga’s number fan after watching her documentary Five Foot Two. Alongside TV, we discuss the book ‘Why I am No Longer Talking to White People About Race’ by Reni Eddo-Lodge.  In shopping we learn what dream Gucci item Liv is lusting over, and Charlotte’s new favourite cheese (you really get it all on this podcast). Alongside this we discuss visiting Sheffield, going pescatarian for a week and a few of our favourite new apps.  Links: Anthony Bourdain, The Layover: https://www.netflix.com/title/70234767 Anthony Bourdain, Part’s Unknown: https://www.netflix.com/title/70304979 Coco Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNCz4mQzfEI Mamma Mia 2 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcSMdhfKga4  Christopher Robin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMHwjBBr3wI Lady Gaga 5ft 2’’ Documentary: https://www.netflix.com/title/80196586 Non Violent Communication Book: https://amzn.to/2LYEVpX Dietland on Amazon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jjlqB5APY4 Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race: https://amzn.to/2LIAXCb Rachel Cargle: https://www.rachelcargle.com/ Leesa Renee Hall: http://leesareneehall.com/ Shishi Rose: https://www.instagram.com/shishi.rose/ Well Read Black Girl: https://www.instagram.com/wellreadblackgirl/ White Privilege test: https://museumdetox.wordpress.com/2017/11/19/got-white-privilege/ Why white parents need to talk to their children about race: https://fridabemighty.com/2018/07/28/why-white-parents-need-to-talk-to-their-children-about-race/ Odd Girl Out, Laura James: https://amzn.to/2LY5Ema The Keeper of Lost Things, Ruth Hogan: https://amzn.to/2M8SgbR Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Gail Honeyman: https://amzn.to/2KhLgHM Gucci Rattan Bag: https://www.gucci.com/uk/en_gb/pr/gifts/gifts-for-women/wicker-small-shoulder-bag-p-524800JCICG9573 Burrata: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrata Eat Happy, Melissa Hemsley: https://amzn.to/2v7qWo2 M&S Silver Shoes: https://rstyle.me/n/c7nu8fcdi8f Apps:  Coach to 5k: https://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/couch-to-5k.aspx Tile App: https://www.thetileapp.com/en-gb/ Events:  Hoxton Hotel Event: https://thehoxton.com/hoxtown/events/the-fringe-of-it-live?goToPage=1  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's episode was recorded on Thursday 19th of July in partnership with Fresh on Marylebone High Street in front of an audience of 25(ish) people. In Telly Talk Charlotte gets confused between the new Queen film trailer and the released press shot of Olivia Coleman in the Crown, happens to the best of us. She also tries to explain Dietland, might have to wait until next week for a more through explanation. Liv gives us a run down on the most talked about show of the summer in her 'Love Island Minute'. We discuss our favourite Monki buys, the comeback of Reebok Classic and the book This is Going to Hurt. This week's topic discusses relaxation and ways in which we switch off, and we answer a few questions from the audience.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's episode is a long one! Shopping wise we find out what Liv's been buying at Sezane, what floral purchases Charlotte has been picking up. In TV we discuss the season two of GLOW on Netflix, continue talking about the The World Cup where we applaud Gareth Southgate's Positive Mental Attitude, and we also look at some of the social issues around football. Are elements of it sexist and homophobic? In this week's topic we get stuck into the gigantic topic of money, and why is it such a taboo? Talking about some money mistakes, money mangement, and some money resources we enjoy. However we feel we've barley scratched the surface, so expect a money follow up!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's episode comes to you down the line and is a bit of a deep ol' episode (for us anyway)! In telly chat we discuss the fact we are now fully established football fans (cough), with your 60 second weekly Love Island update too, for good measure. We also discuss body confidence in summer, having a bad week and this weeks topic: going on holiday and the pressure of travel. We talk about our favourite holidays, how travel has changed because of the 'Instagram Generation' and why it's important to allow yourself to have a break.

Once internet friends, and now friends IRL, self confessed and old before before their time bloggers, Liv Purvis and Charlotte Jacklin record their debut podcast series. 'The Fringe of It' is a weekly podcast from these two slightly out of touch, early grandma's (wishing they had their own radio show), navigating their way through millennial life, and laughing a lot in between. This is our sixteenth episode in which we discuss unpopular opinions, with a side of shopping and the latest TV.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
