Episode 62 - What a Conversation with Erika Ökvist! [Interview]

Make-up brushes at the ready, Rae. We should like to try something a little different tonight. Join us as we welcome Erika Ökvist for a discussion of her exquisite work as Hair and Make Up Designer of Bridgerton Season 3. As Erika reveals her journey from aspiring princess to an Emmy award-winning designer, we’ll be slipping on the banana peel of creativity to explore the importance of artistic experimentation, storytelling through details and why inspiration can be found in the most unlikely of places. Erika will be taking us through the day in the life of a busy Bridgerton set, tackling tattoos, heatwaves and the deadliest sin of them all: gossiping. Elsewhere, we’ll be visiting Featherington House to discover the secrets of a Mayfair starlet and why true love really is the silk lining in our very own woollen coats. And as the Season 3 winds blow our favourite traveller ashore, we’ll be swooning over pirate coats, sea swept waves and one very tousled emotional support curl. After all: Colin Bridgerton, your eyebrows are the most remarkable shape of seagull wings. * Follow Erika on Instagram: @erika_okvist_makeup_designer Show Notes: Crumbs Russh: Interview with Yerin Ha W Magazine: Interview with Jonathan Bailey Elle Italia: Interview with Jonathan Bailey Entertainment Weekly: Feature on ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ People: Interview with Simone Ashley Sky: The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland Radio Times: Interview with Nicola Coughlan Pink News: Interview with Jessica Madsen YouTube: Shondaland Behind-the-Scenes IG: Bridgerton nominated at Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards IG: Bridgerton nominated at Costume Designers Guild Awards Netflix: Bridgerton FYC Deadline: Interview with Kris Bowers for ‘The Wild Robot’ Bath & Body Works: Bridgerton Candle – Colin’s Return Funko!

Episode 61 - The Yearly Crumb! What a Wrap [2024 Review]

O Willow Tree! O Willow Tree! How lovely are thy branches! Alas, dear listeners. It has been quite a journey we have taken together. Join us as we look back over a most remarkable year of Polin, celebrating string quartets, non-friendly dreams and a very Shooketh Colin. We'll be playing Secret Santa for our dearest members of the ton, gifting Byron's novel to an unappreciative Benedict, maple sugar to a suspicious Pen and parmesan cheese ice cream to a grimacing Eloise. And after we've nursed our hangovers with Colin and checked on those pesky staffing issues at Bridgerton House, we'll be joined by the Ghosts of Seasons' Past and Present for a festive trip to the library. Seasons' Greetings, dearest listeners. 'Tis the Season to be Polin. * Show Notes Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library “Art of the Swoon.” Bridgerton. Written by Leila Cohan-Miccio.

Episode 60 - What a Splendid Celestial Display! [S3E2 Rewatch, Part 2]

Pucker up, dearest listeners. There’s a full moon in the sky and a question on Penelope’s lips. Join us for Part 2 of our S3E2 rewatch, as we take cover with an abandoned pirate coat, sneak a peek at a little Parisian smut and take a crash course in Bandaging Mister Bridgerton. Once Pen’s made sure her hand is all patched up, we shall be galloping along to the nearest lunar soirée to search for a missing bonbon, take a sex ed class with Portia and mourn the loss of a quickly departed steed. As we get back into the saddle with Season 1 Colin, we’ll also be commiserating with Window Pen, planning our next paycheck with Rae and slipping into the garden for a covert meeting with an old friend: the Pointy Topiary. And once hope is lost, on an unknown night of the week, in the heart of Mayfair, in a moonlit garden in Grosvenor Square, we’ll sobbing along as Colin Bridgerton kisses Penelope Featherington. And, dear listener, it will be bloody glorious. * Show Notes - Crumbs: YouTube: Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha read from ‘An Offer from a Gentleman’ Bustle: Bridgerton’s Yerin Ha Teases Benedict’s “Mr. Darcy Vibes” In Season 4 Tudum: Netflix announces Netflix Moments campaign Town & Country: Jonathan Bailey confirms continued working collaboration with Jack the Horse The Hollywood Reporter: Jonathan Bailey says he’ll ‘always come back’ to Bridgerton Harper’s Bazaar: Feature on Nicola Coughlan getting ready for the Women of the Year Awards Harper’s Bazaar: Nicola Coughlan’s speech at the Women of the Year Awards HURR X Choose Love The Hollywood Reporter: First look at ‘The Faraway Tree’ Deadline: Luke Newton joins sci-fi thrilled ‘White Mars’ PEOPLE: Interview with Luke Newton for PEOPLE's 2024 Sexiest Man Alive issue Student Life: Adjoa Andoh speaks at WashU Boots UK: Christmas campaign starring Adjoa Andoh IG: Mum I’m in a Movie Etsy: Polinfancomic Show Notes - Rewatch: Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library "Out of the Shadows."

Episode 59 - What a Devilishly Yellow Head Covering! [S3 E2 Rewatch, Part 1]

Imagine it with us, listeners. A dashing suitor – sorry, tutor – and his very teachable pupil dedicated to academic pursuits. What could possibly go astray? Accompany us to Rotten Row for fresh air, a fluttering of fans and a little failed flirting as we begin our rewatch of S3E2 ‘How Bright the Moon.’ As a brightly coloured bonnet and a fatalistic gust of wind conspire to forge this particular history of connection, we’ll be reminiscing over mornings at the bordello, Sunday teas at Bridgerton House and a most remarkable shade of blue. So take a gulp of your emotional support lemonade and grab your playing cards – it’s time for an eagerly awaited visit to the classrooms of Grosvenor Square. You wish for no more talk of books, Colin? We’ve heard through the grapevine that your star pupil is preparing her own seminar, ‘Romancing Professor Bridgerton,’ and we’d bet anything she’s going to get full marks. * Spoiler Warning 40:26-40:36 - Brief mention of a Season 4 filming leak * Show Notes Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library "After the Rain."

Episode 58 - What a Conversation with James Phoon! [Interview]

Delicate and oh so agreeable? Crack open the bonbons, dearest listeners, because Harry Dankworth has come to call. Join us as we welcome the astonishing James Phoon for a splendid conversation about his time on Bridgerton, including Prudank nose boops, a cheese-loving brother-in-law and a newly Christened Baby Dankworth. We’ll be following James’ time on the show from a mysterious audition and inspiring costume fitting, through to the weird & wonderful celebration of our favourite citrus-loving family. And once the final butterfly has flown from the Dankworth-Finch Ball, we’ll be heading to the Yorkshire Moors for a discussion of the other, other, other Brontë, the importance of claiming your own space, and navigating life through journaling. A journal by a Regency gentleman? Colin Bridgerton, eat your heart out. * Spoiler Warning Discussion of Season 4 filming leaks at 01:35 – 02:37 Show Notes – Crumbs Instagram: Season 4 filming leaks from Ranger’s House (via @DeuxMoi) The Sydney Morning Herald: Interview with Yerin Ha IG: Luke Newton ‘Somewhere in Mayfair’ story (via Imgur) TIME: TIME100 Next 2024 – Nicola Coughlan TIME: Nicola Coughlan Bet on Herself – And Won Good Morning America: Nicola Coughlan Gives An Update on Bridgerton Season 4 GLAMOUR: Interview with Simone Ashley Mind: As Seen on Netflix eBay: Lot of Lady Whistledown papers and hairpiece Williams Sonoma: Vintage Etched Collection Vote: TV Choice Awards 2025 longlist BAFTA Scotland: Nominations for BAFTA Scotland Awards 2024 The Bomb Factory Art Foundation: Exhibition – One Nation Under a Groove IG: Mum I’m in a Movie – FIGHT CLUB * Show Notes – Interview IG: Follow James Phoon IG: Follow Journals By James Etsy: Buy your journal from Journals By James NT at Home: Underdog: The Other Other Brontë Brontë Parsonage Museum: Team Branwell Badge (On Sale) The Jamie Lloyd Company: The Tempest BBC iPlayer: Wreck Shondaland What’s New with the Featheringtons Shondaland Regency Men Meet the (New) Men of the Ton in ‘Bridgerton’ Season Three * Follow Us Instagram⁠ ⁠ Patreon YouTube TikTok⁠

Episode 57 - What a Very Good Friend! [S3E1 Rewatch]

Dearest Polin rewatchers, we have been apart for far too long. After four months, seventeen cities and zero letters from redheads with exquisite roobies, the tides of change have finally swept our sturdy pirate back to English shores. And it seems as though he's arrived with a new friend: the Emotional Support Curl. As we swagger glove-first into the finest match of the year, we’re raising our lemonades in honour of fashion icons past, cold shoulders and texts that really should’ve stayed in drafts. And thanks to Rae’s side hustle of making a profit out of one man’s desperation, we’ll be returning to the scene of the Polin crime for an entirely platonic love confession, a titillating double handshake and the formation of a rather splendid plan. Doomed to fail spectacularly? Surely not. After all… are they not friends? * Show Notes - Crumbs Elle: Nicola Coughlan on Emmy's 2024 Red Carpet Voice: Kick Some Class: Claudia Jessie talks going from council estate to Bridgerton The Jamie Lloyd Co: The Tempest Etsy: Journals By James Instagram: @JournalsByJames Focus Entertainment: Warhammer Space Marines II @SohoPlace: White Rabbit Red Rabbit Reasons to be Joyful Podcast: Sam Phillips Talks Bridgerton and The Crown YouTube: Mum I'm In A Movie Instagram: Mum I'm In A Movie Radio Times: First Trailer Released for Channel 5's The Hardacres Nordisk Film & TV Fond: Last to Break Trailer Fever Up: Candlelight x Bridgerton Spotify: 'Too Sweet' (Hozier) by Atwood Quartet Spotify: What a Barb!

The Weekly Crumb - Issue #8: What a Runaway Maid [S4 News & Filming Leaks]

Filming leaks falling down like pieces into place... The cameras are rolling. The churro truck has opened up. It's time to pack Gregory off to Eton and welcome the newest family to town as we celebrate the beginning of Season 4 production. While Portia and Colin battle it out over the Featherington ledgers, we pull up our silver gloves, borrow a few items out of Westley's wardrobe and steal away into the gardens for a late-night rendezvous, (not so) far away from prying eyes. And as we dream up family plans for the festive season, we recruit a pedagogical gerbil to help us track down a missing Viscountess, a Succubus of the First Water, and everyone's favourite Plant Daddy. Our very first look of a midnight masquerade? That's fifty points to Ravenclaw. * Show Notes Coming Soon

Episode 56 - What a Trunk Full of Seashells! [S3 Episode Rankings]

🎵Summer days drifting away but oh, those 15-billion-minute-long summer niiiights 🎵 After a summer swimming in the Polin seas, we’re almost ready to pack up our seashells, buy Pen a stick of rock and head home for an Autumn of filming crumbs and rewatches. But before we lock up our trunks and board the boat back to Mayfair, we have one last task on our hands: ardently, fervently and loudly declaring our Season 3 episode rankings. Which episode left our Polin hearts soaring inches above the ground like a slow-moving hot air balloon? Is that really the Grim Reaper toasting marshmallows with us at the Floral Ball? And why oh why is Lechi crying again on a Zoom call? We wish you the best of luck, S3 Episodes.
