    #65 An Andrew Scott Summer and Our Quest To Becoming Woman’s Weekly

    #65 An Andrew Scott Summer and Our Quest To Becoming Woman’s Weekly

    Nostalgia and Anxiety* are back for another catch up, and this week we’re hankering after our very own Andrew Scott summer (Taylor? Kylie? Go on then!) Diving into the big terrestrial TV toss up that was presented earlier in the week before onto a formal introduction to what Liv deems as the very best biscuits of all time- we hope you’re ready for some serious ground to be covered. Plus, we also veer into old school life advice, the sheer amount that can be done with vinegar and kindly request your Woman’s-Weekly-esque tip offs and recommendations please and thank you! 
    For your home cleaning hacks, song recommendations and, well, whatever you fancy- we truly love hearing from you! You can drop us a line over at thefringeofit@gmail.com, and for high quality collages and a lovely carousel (if you’re lucky) of things we chatted about you can have a nosey on our IG too @fringeofit
    *nul points for who enjoyed Inside Out!

    #64 Entering Our Gardening Era, Writing Fan Fic and Styling Like A Sailor

    #64 Entering Our Gardening Era, Writing Fan Fic and Styling Like A Sailor

    Ahoy there! Wasting not but a second before delving into grand garden reveals, it’s straight into bulb catch ups before Charlotte *finally* dips her toe into One Day (spoilers and waterworks ahead) and Liv starts fancying herself as a film critic. Is this the end of the Mamma Mia 2 chapter?! Only time will tell!* There’s also an important discussion about weatherproof footwear, a magical Cotswold’s shopping spot and Liv wonders, importantly, if she just simply hasn’t got thick enough skin to be a fashion girlie…
    As you know, we love to hear from you, and the postbag is pretty much our favourite place! Feel free to send us your thoughts, new (late to the party) discoveries and any neighbourhood gossip and dad jokes to thefringeofit@gmail.com. For photos of our gardens and things we chatted about you can have a nosey on our IG too (if you're lucky there might be a slideshow style carousel or swanky collage) @fringeofit
    *never, obviously.

    #63 Primary School P.E, A Matilda Disagreement and The Paddington Campaign Trail

    #63 Primary School P.E, A Matilda Disagreement and The Paddington Campaign Trail

    From Strictly sequins (did…Liv, erm, mention she’d had a birthday?) to primary school P.E- it’s a week of joy shared in all it’s shapes and forms (even if the rules of tennis are still just too complicated for some of us). In exciting news, Charlotte gets deep in pesto-appreciation and we do a *LIVE* (fanfare please!) taste test for Have I Got Food For You?! We also discuss big topics like being a Stanley Cup Girlie™, when Liv accidentally pretended to be E.T and that hour-long Bridgerton scene (yes, that one).

    #62 Our Most Intimate Album Yet and That Sweet 2 Inches

    #62 Our Most Intimate Album Yet and That Sweet 2 Inches

    Resisting the urge to brag about pottery for too long *again*, there's a cruise straight into some top telly recommendations- including a brilliant show you may not have heard of and, in our opinion, a perfect film discovery, with a stellar soundtrack (not to brag or anything). We also begin a delayed catch up of the last four years- from children to breakups, there's a lot to cover- but hey, we've got to start somewhere! Also, and most importantly- the jeans we both can't stop wearing (or talking about)- it's big stuff!

    #61 Pottery Painting, Bus Encounters and The Tiers of Swiftie

    #61 Pottery Painting, Bus Encounters and The Tiers of Swiftie

    Oh hello there! This weeks episode is accidentally (or not) peppered with a whole lot of wholesome. From discovering pottery painting, getting into (serious) collaging and the joy of supermarket summer picnic collections (Waitrose and those quiches, we’re looking at you)- it’s a summer feast of all things joyful. That is, until Saltburn comes in. We dive right into how Charlotte fared with a few, cough, certain scenes, the series that Liv has been watching in real time (!!) and get chatting about our better late than never discoveries with a bit of help from you lovely listeners- with a whole lot more in-between. 

    As you know, we love to hear from you! It’s the best! Feel free to send us your thoughts, feelings, new (very delayed) discoveries and any neighbourhood gossip to thefringeofit@gmail.com.

    #60 The Nanas are Back!

    Oh hello, look who it is! After an unplanned four year hiatus, your two favourite (now fringe-less) grandmas are back, and we have A LOT to catch you up on. Strap in.

    The new season kicks off with a mammoth edition of Telly Talk, where we pick our favourite TV and films from the past 4 years. Easy, right!? We also welcome in two shiny new features, dip our hands into the bulging postbag, and tease what you can expect to hear over the next few months.

The best type of friend chat

My favourite podcasts now are just pals chatting without celebs doing the rounds. I’ve only discovered this podcast in its latest season and really like it. Just a lovely little listen and relatable content!

I’m a podcast convert - at last

Although I fear only to your podcast! I’m late to the party on podcasts and just couldn’t find one I wanted to listen to the end of until now! Missed your first series but delighted to not be out of the loop anymore - loved the recommendations, telly chat, giggles, empathy and that hour wizzed by. Looking forward to next episode already. But maybe a rebrand to ‘the fringe-less of it’ #justsaying. Bron 💋

Feels like sitting down with friends for a catch up and a giggle, really love listening to these lovely ladies. 💖
