    The Paradox of Publicity

    The Paradox of Publicity

    On this week’s episode, your cohosts flashback to Pippa Middleton’s wedding in May 2017 (and the, er, unique coverage of “Pippa Mania”). There’s also the Waleses’ nonstop social media blitz, reflections on the Sussexes’ NYC car chase, an Earthshot listener flashback and so much more. Don’t forget to pour one out for Party Pieces (or at least, for Carole Middleton, who is no longer at the helm). To celebrate the long weekend, we’re off next week. Happy Memorial Day, everyone! See you in June!

    The Duchess’s Golden Debut + Special Guest Kristen Meinzer

    The Duchess’s Golden Debut + Special Guest Kristen Meinzer

    This week, there’s no shortage of royal news—even after the big Corrie blitz—as the Sussexes step out in NYC with Doria, Kate and William kick their social media up a notch, Fergie launches a podcast that promises to spill the tea and Harry’s court case continues to make headlines. FYI: We recorded this episode just as news broke about Harry and Meghan’s harrowing car chase after the Ms. Foundation Awards, so we’re still waiting to learn more. We’re also joined by friend of the pod and royal commentator Kristen Meinzer, whose new podcast, The Daily Fail, takes aim at the UK’s most notorious paper. Grab a “When Harry Met Meghan” in honor of their 5th wedding anniversary on Friday, and tune in!

    The Corrie Comedown

    The Corrie Comedown

    We can’t believe it’s already over! We’re back stateside, and we still have so much to discuss. First up: Our attendance at the Coronation concert at Windsor Castle (and getting a front row seat to the royals’ dance moves). Also, Prince Harry’s court case begins, Meghan takes a “clarity hike” and Kate rewears a fan favorite. We also tie up loose ends from the Coronation ceremony on Saturday, including (but not limited to): the Corrie grim reaper (?!), lip readers, memes, royal fashion and more. Finally, some thank yous, especially to our listeners who we met in London. What a treat! Grab some “Return of the King” beer and tune in!

water lies ,

Hello

Love your podcast. !! And your enthusiasm about the coronation gets me pumped up as well. I wasn’t very into it because i do not feel that happy about Camila
Anyway what i really wanted to say is you should have booked both isle seats
Enjoy your trip to London. I will be listening to everything you will have for us !!!! ❤️❤️

Go Bonnies! ,

Kristin Minzer killed it for me; I have been listening from the beginning but I am unsubscribing.

You two ladies are awesome journalists. For example, you did a great job covering Boston.

But if all you’re going to do from this point forward is hate on the royal family, then I am checking out.

This podcast is not about politics and it should not be laden with negativity. We can get that anywhere! You started out as an intelligent take on a light-hearted topic. Very enjoyable. But you lost your way. In one episode, you talked about how the royal family possibly caused Megan’s miscarriage… And then you almost effortlessly transitioned into talking about the Christmas concert?!?! You could hear the awkwardness in your voices as you made the transition. And now you have this “journalist” on who only wants to watch the royal family in the hopes that it does what she says are the “hundreds of thousands of things” that the family needs to do to apologize for historical wrongs. All of that may be valid. But it’s not fun. Its not “Royally Obsessed”. That’s not being a fan, it’s being a hater. It is not what I am here for. It’s not what is going to sell Joanna Vargas face masks.

You could cover the fashion. You could cover the up-and-coming generation of royals. For that matter, you could cover the charities that they support. There is so much of interest there. And actually you’re missing an opportunity. If you stay with the Royals as George and Charlotte grow up, there will be so much to cover and you will be at the forefront. Don’t squander that opportunity on Harry and Meghan. Yuck. Harry and Megan are not royals anymore. The topic is tiresome. For the last year or so, I have continue listening to the pod in spite of the Harry and Meghan stuff, certainly not because of it.

I will check back in at the end of the summer and see if your podcast has chosen to go back to being about being “royally obsessed”… if it has, I will come back.
