What a Barb! A Polin Podcast What a Barb!

Budge up, Mr Bridgerton. We’re hopping in the carriage and this time we’ve got company.



Join us as we welcome the remarkable Archer Marsh to the podcast, composer of Season 3 covers “Give Me Everything”, “Confident” and “Lights.”



We’ll be following the journey from the tracks’ creation and their inclusion on the Bridgerton soundtrack, to the astonishing viral reaction from fans across the world.



And as we discuss an innocuous little carriage ride, we’ll be pondering over the power of music in storytelling and why although Pen might not have got everything, she certainly got enough.



Then when the carriage pulls up at Bridgerton House, Archer Marsh will also be sharing his perspective on hustling & hard work in the music industry, the need for bravery in creativity, and the essential art of letting go.



For everyone except Colin, that is. You keep holding on tightly to that rope, old friend.

Willkommen back to the wilderness weeks, dearest listeners.

As the promo sun begins to set across the plains of Polin, we set up camp amongst the tumbleweed and cacti to decide the future of the podcast in a post-Season 3 world.

With the vast expanse of time ahead of us, we also chat about an edible Bridgerton House, a flying stack of Whistledowns and the greatest mystery of our time: where is Sophie Beckett?

So grab your marshmallow, join us by the fire and settle yourself in: we’re giving it up to the toasts of Mayfair and we’re in it for the long haul.

(The alliteration is a little overdone, we admit.)

 

Dearest Gentle listener, you may think we have been enjoying a much-needed respite from discussing Season 3 Part 2.

 

Alas, we have instead spent the week on the sofa, awake with thoughts of planned entrapments, secret dealings and sad rainbow fish.

 

Not to worry, we are back. The tree of Tu-doom may still be shaking in the Polin winds but we are on hand to raise a toast to no-longer-nameless judgy mamas, the music licensing gods and the succubus of the first water.

 

So grab the last chocolate macaron and lie down. This most anticipated love story is finally complete and we're skipping to the final chapter.

It's the final crumbdown.



As we prepare to hang up our archaeology tools for the last time, we take one more walk down crumbs memory lane during the fabled, long-awaited, highly-unanticipated Block 4 Part 2.



Yes, the Prodigal Block has returned at last as we sweep up the few remaining crumbs from Season 3 filming and lock in our final predictions for Episode 7 and 8 with mere hours to spare. We'll be scattering blue and yellow confetti in celebration of some very special nuptials, pondering the future with Eloise on the garden swings and stopping by the kitchens for a salaciously instructive installment of Baking with Legumes.



So join us as we wave goodbye to the years of waiting, reminisce over fandom days gone by and strain our eyesights one final time on this hallowed Part 2 eve.



Were they blurry? Yes, but they were our blurs. And they're about to get their happily ever after.

Out, damned inkspot! out, we say!

Fluff up those pillows and get comfy on the sofa. The Part 2 trailer has arrived and it looks like we're in for a rough night.

But there's no time to dwell. With all eyes on the upcoming blurry nuptials, we're busy confessing our love in churches, hiding our secrets in drawing rooms and taking a late night carriage ride for an impromptu rendezvous.

We'll also be helping Colin rearrange furniture and popping the kettle on for the most tragic cup of tea since...uh, Colin's previous most tragic cup of tea.

The yellow sheets have officially been unpacked; Pen's made her bed and now she's gonna lie in it.

Tick tock on the clock, but the bounty don't stop, no...



As our carriage pulls up outside Bridgerton House, it's time to carefully adjust our dresses and head inside to face the music (3/4 is far sweeter) as we react to the Season 3 Part 2 teaser trailer.



While we wait for Pen to hurry up and tell Colin a tiny piece of information, we decide to kill a little time by taking a trip across town to pull down dust sheets and corsets alike.



And as the hunt for Lady Whistledown finally gets underway, we’ll be dancing at a flowery ball, squinting at some dodgy printing and pulling out our cow-culators to figure out just how much the Monarchy has been impacted by the cost-of-living crisis.



Time to make haste, Penelope. The clock on the mantlepiece is ticking and midnight is fast approaching.



And if all else fails? Well, there’s nothing quite like the good old art of the swoon.
