Episode 7: Rosie Moved House!
And not just that - we moved podcast hosts too so this is a real test of whether I have pasted the right feed address in every single one of the dozen or so places it could go.
Rosie moved house! Jessica had a birthday! Does this even work?! -
Episode 6: We Do a Quiz
This is not Nick Miller.
If there’s one thing we both love, it’s a quiz. If there’s two things we love, it’s a quiz and Hallmark movies. In this episode, Quizmaster Rosie shares two Hallmark quizzes she wrote in lockdown, most of which is still relevant. -
Episode 5: Jessica Made Snacks
Snacks! Jessica’s got ’em. This episode was recorded in late October 2023, just before Rosie actually moved house (which she may have mentioned once or twice…) It’s still nice! Enjoy!

Hi Barbies! Rosie and Jessica went to see the corporate feminism juggernaut that is Barbie and loved it tbh. Also Rosie’s house is infested with flesh flies, a phrase so horrible we simply had to share it with you.

Customer Reviews
It sounds like a cup of tea feels.
I, too, found this podcast through the Two Bossy Dames. So glad I did, and at the perfect time. It was the week after the election and I had just finished Carry on by Rainbow Rowell for the second time. I needed something to take the edge off. This podcast is beautiful, cozy, and fierce British magic and it will get you through the dark times.
Clarification: This podcast is not affiliated with Simon Snow or Rainbow Rowell or magic (?), but it reminds me of these things. It's also completely original and just about two women living in the world day by day and trying to make it better through knitting and baking and top five lists.
I want to hang with these ladies!
Major props to the Mistress of the .Gif, Margaret H. Willison whose newsletter directed me to this wonderful British podcast last fall. These sisters are just delightful and I really do wish I could hang out with them, watching all our favorite shows and movies and learning yarn crafts. I wish there was a word that would encapsulate how rad and sweet these sisters are.
Podcast of Fun!!
This podcast is pretty much the audio equivalent of a very twee and delightful lifestyle blog with a fair amount of pop culture thrown in. I have a pretty crippling case of swooning Anglophilia (and spent time studying abroad in England during my college years), so most of what I love about this is the Britishness of it all, but Rosie and Jessica are also quite funny and have given me all sorts of ideas for things to read, watch, listen to, bake, and knit (once I get around to learning how to knit). The tone of the podcast is very personal and personable but never veers into the solipsistic or narcissistic—it’s just so friendly and warm, even when they’re talking about things like their family gatherings or making inside jokes. Basically a total delight. Right up there with Cadbury’s and choral works by John Rutter on the list of completely lovely British exports. (p.s. I would totally purchase a badge that says Oh My Greyhounds for actual cash money. For what that’s worth.)
