What a Barb! A Polin Podcast

A fan podcast celebrating all things Penelope, Colin, and Bridgerton, complete with episode deep dives, book rereads, theories and speculation, and plenty of spiraling from a group of friends who anxiously awaited Season 3 and now are braced once more for the Wilderness Weeks.

Episode 28 - What a Polin New Year! [S3 Synopsis Reaction] Jan 06, 2024

Show notes

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.

Episode 27 - What a Christmas Miracle! [S3 Stills & Poster Reaction] Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

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. Happy Polinmas one and all.

Episode 26 - What a Reunion! [EW Article Reaction] Dec 22, 2023

Show notes

Put down the tinsel and mistletoe, Polin fans. We have urgent crumbs to attend to.

Join us as we spiral over the latest Season 3 news including THAT Peneloise reunion, Colin and Penelope’s power and a promised upheaval for the Featheringtons.

We’ll also be curling up by the cosy friends-to-lovers fire as we catch up with old, dear acquaintances such as Kanthony, Colin’s swagger and the much-loved ‘Marina hates tomatoes’ scene.

Silent night? Not if Entertainment Weekly has anything to do with it.

Episode 25 - Oh, Crumbs! What a Giant Swan [S3E3 & E4 Speculation] Dec 16, 2023

Show notes

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.

Get in the carriage, listener. We’re going on a crumbs hunt.

Show notes

Gather round, dear clowns. This is not a drill.

Join us for an emergency episode as we live react to the most coveted and mystical breaking crumb of all: the Season 3 release date. Or, should we say release dates. *Internal screaming*

We'll be sharing our initial thoughts and general bewilderment as we desperately try to get our heads around another chaotic day in the Polin Nation.

Bravery, my sweet...

Episode 24 - Oh, Crumbs! What a Pirate [S3E1 & E2 Speculation] Dec 02, 2023

Show notes

Our dear Polin Archaeologists, it’s time to retrieve your excavation tools from storage because we’re heading off on another crumbs expedition.

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.

Beware of pirates. Beware of clowns.

Episode 23 - What a Journey! [S2E8 Rewatch, Part 3] Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

*Cue fireworks and sobbing at the window* Miracle of miracles, we have at long last reached the end of our Polin rewatch of S2E8, The Viscount Who Loved Me. Third time’s a charm, right?

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? Let us just go check our notes.

Episode 22 - What a Geography Lesson! [S2E8 Rewatch, Part 2] Nov 11, 2023

Show notes

*deep, deep sighs*

Notebooks at the ready, Polin fans, because Professor Colin Bridgerton is about to give us quite the educational experience during Part 2 of our Polin rewatch of S2E8, The Viscount Who Loved Me.

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.

Yep, Dear Listeners. It’s time for THAT scene. If anyone needs us, we’ll be busy screaming into the Polin abyss.

Episode 21 - What a Fine Family! [S2E8 Rewatch, Part 1] Nov 04, 2023

Show notes

All hail the mighty Biscuit Cushion – we have joyously arrived at Part 1 of our final-but-not-quite-final Polin rewatch of S2E8, The Viscount Who Loved Me. Yep, you heard us. We’re breaking our rewatch in half just like Colin will be breaking Pen’s heart at the Featherington Ball.

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.

We’ll be defending the Featheringtons’ honour over at Will’s club, fawning over lovingly elevated objects at Bridgerton House and dusting off one last yellow dress as we prepare to relive the night that sank a thousand Polin ships.

Get ready, Polinators. Chaos Colin has entered the chat.

Episode 20 - What a Relationship! [S2E7 Rewatch] Oct 28, 2023

Show notes

Hold onto your bannisters and toss your broken quills into the flames because it’s time for our (penultimate!) Polin rewatch of S2E7 Harmony.

We'll be trailing behind the scandal-hit Bridgertons during the Promenade of Shame, making midnight dashes to the Modiste’s and fighting our way through the crowds at the ever-popular Harmony Ball.

Elsewhere, we’ll be taking the week off from our Polin analysis and handing the reins over to the ton’s resident expert, Colin Bridgerton, who is here to explain to us all just how naturally his and Pen’s relationship has taken shape over the years.

Wait…did he just say relationship?! Someone get Freud on the line, pronto.
