    #94 Telly Tennis, Overtaking Santa, and Mad for Christmas

    It's the great Fringe of It Christmas bumper episode! Wrap yourselves in tinsel and adorn your festive (monogrammed, if you're Charlotte) jim-jams as we accompany you through your last minute wrapping, dishwasher loading or quiet moment in solitude for some peace and, erm, giggles. If your Christmas shopping has felt like course work and you too have gone mad for anything loaded with cranberry sauce, you are in the right place. This week Liv lets Father Christmas go at a junction (but not before wondering if it would be rude to overtake the big guy on a residential street), Charlotte watches a trio of Christmas films and Liv, well, nearly watches It's a Wonderful Life. The girls' also reveal their top 3 TV, films and foods of the year- with a live food tasting to end the season- delicious indeed! Thank you for joining us, you wonderful people! We will see you in January for more fun and frolics. If you'd like to share your bronze, silver and gold in the TV and film ranks please do email thefringeofit@gmail.com or slide into our DMs at @fringeofit. Hosted on Acast.

    #93 Christmas Chips, Liv's Film Oscar and Snowman Noses

    After weeks of crafts, Christmas prep, wrapping gifts for the thousands and erm, visual merchandising slap bands- the girls are tired. Evening teas are brewed, Liv is yawning and chat swiftly turns to piles cushions and the new iPhone update. Nope, you haven't got the wrong podcast- stay with us! In the telly talking arena, Liv has self nominated for the Film Recommendation of the year Oscar (it's an imaginary one woman category, and she's set to win) and Charlotte gets deep into pondering what her real favourite snowman nose is. Could it be cranberry, or is it a carrot? Answers on a postcard! There's also a Christmas chips discovery, some in depth supermarket chat and some unruly sausage conversation- but what's new there? Please send us your wonderful festive food recommendations, Radio Times worthy suggestions and anything silly and Christmassy to thefringeofit@gmail.com or cha-chat slide into our DMs at @fringeofit.

    #92 Elf Curious, Fear of Wind, and Emma Mackay

    As we all know, every now and again it will be a week of two halves. This week it's a cocktail of explicit (used loosely) elf drama combined with Charlotte kindly relieving her loved ones of a spa voucher (not all heroes etc. etc.) It's also been an enormous week for the silver screen- if the Wicked Coronation Street comparison doesn't whet your whistle (and Liv's subsequent confession to a lifelong fear of wind) perhaps it'll be our very exciting interview with none other than Emma Mackey and Spike Fearn, ahead of the release of Ella McCay this week. We know! There's also the potential of two new fan clubs: one for Majestic Wine and another for cupcake queen, Fiona Cairns- as well as sausage-gate and the boots that will make you feel like an instant front woman- perfect for party season! To send us Christmas sandwich suggestions, mad elf ideas or just general chit chat- you can contact us at fringeofit@gmail.com, or in our DMs at @fringeofit. Hosted on Acast.

    #91 Cry Charts, Handsome Foxes, and Mission More Sleep

    The mugs have been switched over. The VM team has been assigned, and Liv's cracked it. The only way to adopt some of Charlotte's festive tenacity and hall decking is a trip to Robert Dyas to purchase two turkey roasting trays, some twine and a whole heap of ambition- what could possibly go wrong?! In a week of crafting attempts and sleep searching, the girls also debate whether they want to be Aimee Lou Wood or simply her best friend, do an integral blind Jaffa Cake taste test and open the can of worms that questions who really is the most handsome animated fox? (sorry)! There's also important Strictly chat, the christening of the Film Cry Chart and rosette shopping too- all in a weeks work! Please send book recommendations and festive biscuit suggestions to @fringeofit, or thefringeofit@gmail.com- love you, bye! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    #90 A Kate Hudson Picnic, Early Retirement and Charlotte's Snowflake Factory

    If you think you've been busy, then look away now friends- because this week Charlotte has been putting us all to shame with a week of hosting, crafting, snowflake making, sewing, bulb planting and almost any other activity you can think of. And breathe! Whilst Charlotte has been cooking her feeds-8 chicken pie, Liv has been hammering CTRL-Y with some tech issues, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel as Liv finally, finally, almost convinces Charlotte to join the Strictly family. Will she do it?! Only time will tell. The girls also talk about their very sophisticated premiere packed lunches (which begs the question: should one put a beef sandwich away whilst in the presence of Kate Hudson?) and Liv ends the week with the nicest bar of chocolate she's ever eaten, whilst Charlotte takes on a new identity as the millennial Marv from Home Alone whenever she's in the presence of a free boiled sweet. You have been warned. Please send us your craft recommendations, Aimee-Lou Wood shows and soup suggestions to thefringeofit@gmail.com or DM us @fringeofit! Hosted on Acast.

    #89 The Savoy, God of Bonnets, and Homes Under the Hammer

    Feeling down? Having a hard week? Lady muck, sorry, Liv, simply recommends a five star hotel for the night, an eight hour bath soak and erm, perhaps some Homes Under The Hammer to balance it all out. In other big news, Charlotte has made it to print under a defamatory headline and the girls' step in to defend Paddington's title. Where you go small bear, we shall follow. There's also a full day time telly guide, courtesy of self-proclaimed king of terrestrial, Darrell (Liv's doting dad) and a look into Charlotte's Kraft Kupboard (sorry, and her love affair with Kim, Kourtney, Kris and Co. too). If that's not enough there's porridge tips (as sexy as it sounds), bonnet bravery and some ice cream revelations fresh from Jacklin (what we call her now). P.S Please email us, we love it! thefringeofit@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    #88 Friled, Dream Cheese Board, and Only Fools and Horses

    It’s been a funny week. The Traitors has ended (to which Liv is so cross she invents a whole new word at the spoilers she encountered), Charlotte has realised the Bake Off is better when viewed with an 8 year old and also dives back into a sitcom that first aired in 1981, oh sweet nostalgia. And seemingly, nostalgia doesn’t end there this week. Oh no! Liv has fallen into the steamed pudding aisle (but not before she tucks into her chicken and leek pie) and forgoing summers Ice Lolly rankings- it’s time for the best high street soups- it’s all go!  There’s also important cheese board chat, a big Christmas savings plan and Liv getting geese-bumps for this weeks very trendy item. You may well hear it here first! For soup suggestions, letters of support for Charlotte to watch Traitors series 2 (Gorton!!!) and any other sweet nothings, you can email us at thefringeofit@gmail.com or slide into our DM’s at @fringeofit.

    #87 Grimsby’s Mariah, Beehive Blindness, and The Big Gig

    It’s an ordinary week. Charlotte, or should we say Mariah, is defrosting for Christmas and has the mood boards cooking. Liv is pondering if her house purchase of last year will serve her fittingly this firework night- oh, and Charlotte went… to a gig. A pop show! A rock concert! And has kindly supplied her tips on survival for those of us who prefer to not be out after 8pm. There’s also deep and meaningful thoughts about time, some trendy music (that’s us!), more chatter about Graham Norton than we could have anticipated (our real heartthrob) and important chat on why Charlotte could simply never be a Traitor. We also rhapsodise on what can only be a true piece of Strictly magic- but you’ll just have to hear it to believe it. For your favourite Strictly dances, additional Norton chat or simply some great pre-festive snacks, we’d love to hear from you! Email us at thefringeofit@gmail.com, or find us on Instagram @fringeofit.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
