This is a little more personal than usual but so much has been said about divorce and the other side of it is, perhaps, a very different happy ending. As Anna and her ex both move on to new relationships, Polly asks Anna about dating post-breakup and how she found her new boyfriend, Olly. This episode is a heart-on-sleeve download of the ups, downs, peaks and troughs of finding love after irretrievable breakdown. Bring tissues.
Customer Reviews
Two brilliant women talking about every raw thing
Love love love the conversations and brilliant humour.
Deliciously silly & real at once
I discovered Ellie & Anna during the first lockdown and have religiously listened to every episode since. I would dare to say they have been an important part of maintaining some form of sanity in this bizarre time. They make me laugh out loud walking around the supermarket, I learn things about issues I care about and they’re just so genuine and fun to listen to. Here’s your beloved 5 star review girls, keep up the great work! Lots of love from The Hague, Mandy
Good times
These guys are so good that when they so humbly ask for a 5 star review, I happily get off my arse and give it to them.
