This week is our 50th Episode! This week we have our usual storm watch with Liv half hoping we get to storm Olivia and the usual Telly Talk. Highlights include: Booksmart, The Trial of Christine Keeler and both of us have some odd discoveries, from the Icelandic Eurovision entry to Julian Simmons introducing Coronation Street back in 1998. Our main topic this week is books, we go through everything we have been reading (and not finishing it Liv’s case) in the last 6 months. We for the first time (definitely not the last) get to hear from you, our lovely listeners and find out what you have been reading too. Once again we’d really like to thank you for all your emails and audio clips.

Our new monthly shopping catch up episode, where we talk about all the things we’ve been buying recently and the things that are on our wish lists...and generally way out of our price ranges. We also talk about the weather again( because we are British and we just can't stop, sorry). We also discuss Liv’s very exciting book launch event, baths on balconies and catch you up on everything we’ve been watching in our regular telly talk.

We are back, a day late (technical issue), with a new episode. On the eve of Liv's launch for her debut book 'The Insecure Girl's Handbook' Charlotte interview's her about all things book related. Just exactly how do you get a book deal, how do you deal with rejection, once you've secured the deal how on earth do you even begin writing a book?! TELL ME EVERYTHING. Liv would just like to point out that it was not her idea to interview herself on her own podcast but Charlotte thinks it's an excellent idea. We also discuss a new favourite bake, Telly Chat and the importance of a cry in the bath:

After seven months away we are back, with a bang or not is for you to decide. This episode we catch you up on everything we have been watching since we’ve been away....warning it's *a lot*. We take you through all the great TV we’ve seen with highlights including The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, Sex Education and we find out what each of our comfort blanket shows are. Liv even gets her Love Island minute, sort of. We also discuss all the great films we've been watching too, including our forever favourite Paddington 2, Marriage Story and we have a discussion which reaches peak shrill levels about Blinded by the Light, a jukebox musical featuring the music of Bruce Springsteen. PHEW, IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK!

Let's go back in time to 8 days before *the* wedding, and see how the nerves are holding up and Liv also has a big announcement to make! We catch up about Liv's hen do too, and a we discuss how much we love the seaside town of Deal in Kent. In Telly Talk we discuss First Dates, with the worst 'datee' Charlotte's seen on the show, we briefly discuss the ongoing football taking over the TV, and the question we all want to know the answer too: has Charlotte started Fleabag yet?! We briefly discuss alcohol, hangovers and the book called 'The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober' and our latest clothing purchases. We'll be taking a short break but will be back very soon!

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.
