Anyone Remember 'Succession'?
Hello! We're back in full-on Firecrotch & Normcore mode to look back on the 'Succession' finale, broadcast a year ago today.
It's *definitely* because we want to mark a significant cultural anniversary, and not because it's half-term and we thought we'd phone it in with a clip show so we can spend some time with our kid.

Stab It. Eat It. Yum. And James Rogan (ABBA: Against The Odds)
Välkommen and bienvenue, welcome! We've been poring over this year's BAFTA TV award winners. Yay for Sarah Phelps and 'The Sixth Commandment'!

We love all our guests equally, of course, but this week's is extra spesh because - HELLO - it's Succession writer and showrunner of The Regime, Will Tracy! We have an exciting connection, and the discovery of that connection, during the interview, was a major podcast highlight.

Interview-only Semisode Because Sara is Sick: Andy Milligan (ANT & DEC'S SATURDAY NIGHT TAKEAWAY)
Sara has tonsillitis - she's on antibiotics and complete vocal rest. She had a fever dream where she was drawn towards the light, but spotted her late grandmother on the other side and fled.
So, it's a truncated episode this week (a semisode?): An interview we'd already recorded before she was struck down. And what an interview! It's Andy Milligan, writer of The Sopranos of shiny-floor entertainment TV - Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.

Customer Reviews
Funny & informative
I started listening to this after hearing Sara Barron appear as a guest on another podcast and thinking “this person is very funny and likeable - I’d like to see what her own podcast is like”. It didn’t disappoint. I love how it segues between intelligent discussions about film and TV, interesting guests, and then random domestic conversations between the married hosts Sara and Geoff. They are both enormously likeable and riff off each other. Sara brings a great sense of humour and is a big character, while Geoff’s extensive experience as a radio presenter means that he’s excellent at interviewing people and gently getting the other guests on the podcast to talk. I don’t even really watch TV (2 young kids), but I find this podcast really enjoyable to listen to. I have started a list of things I want to watch based on what they’ve talked about, so it’s also really good for people like me who are time poor and just need someone pointing them at content.
Like Marriage Story, but funny.
So glad Sara and Geoff have expanded their repertoire past Succession. Listen religiously and just accept that you have a new favourite funny married couple. Like Marriage Story, only the opposite of that. Fantastic stuff.
Sorry no
Even though guests are in the episode title, it’s the hosts talking endlessly. Its more about sharing their opinions, rather than engaging with the guests. Feels misleading.
Base opinions, not up to date with pop culture. Apols for the negative review, I just want that time back.
