Crack open a tin of M&S cocktails and hop aboard the love train, because this week we’re diving into a political pairing that’s had more ups and downs than the Spring statement. Yes, it’s the low-key, long-rumoured, and quietly history-making relationship between Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott. Joining Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate to unpack it all is journalist and political power house Jonn Elledge.
From motorbike rides and graveyard dates to depressing Christmas dinners, these political trailblazers broke boundaries but their story of heartbreak is one for the ages.

This week, we're getting into a real Rocky romance—the kind with muscles, shoulder pads, and more drama than the entire Rambo franchise. Yes, it’s the short, wild, and gloriously roided-up love affair between Sylvester Stallone and Brigitte Nielsen. Helping Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate make sense of it all is the effortlessly glamorous comedian Michelle Shaughnessy—a woman with a deep love for the ’80s and a not-so-secret crush on Sly.
From secret love notes to interfering mums, we’ve got it all—so grab your protein shake and your peroxide as we look back at one of the decade’s most iconic (and chaotic) love stories.

Hey baby, can you hear the blues a-callin’? It’s time to toss some salad and scramble some eggs. And this week, we’re serving up a full plate.
This week, British comedy power couple Glenn Moore and Katie Storie join Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate to psychoanalyse one of TV’s most cerebral couples: Lilith Sternin & Frasier Crane.

So, pour yourself a sherry, don your finest opera attire, and prepare for a love story as intellectual as it was doomed. Join us as we remember the way they were!

Love is in the air—or should we say Je t’aime… moi non plus? Comedian Milo Edwards joins Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate for a deep dive into France’s most effortlessly cool couple: Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin.
A whirlwind romance of cigarette smoke, black paint, and an unfortunate incident with a ruler, their love defined an era—though, like a well-worn Birkin bag, it didn’t stay pristine forever. This week, it’s the most French episode of the podcast so far.

We're so back, baby! Comedian Liz Guterbock needs to talk to somebody about the breakup of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills royalty Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky. Luckily, Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate had microphones set up and ready for the occasion.

So, what really made Mo say, "Goodbye Kyle"? Don’t worry—Gráinne and Chantal have all the answers…

In today's instalment of The Way They ARE, we are ALL amused at the right royal romance that was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, as it's often held aloft as the quintessential fairy tale love story.. but perhaps other motives were at work behind the scenes, and that one of the party weren't quite as on board with it as legend suggests? This ep is an eyeopener in more ways than one...believe me....

In our next instalment of our mini-series, The Way They Are, Chantal and Grainne explore the tempestuous - and ultimately tragic - love story of JFK Junior and Carolyn Bessette, which was as overtly passionate, as it was stylish. As we know the lives of this beautiful young couple were cut way too short, so our hosts imagine what this romance could have been if it was allowed to run its full course.

In the second outing of the little cousin of The Way They Were - aka, The Way They ARE - it's Grainne's turn to present us with a couple, who despite all odds, managed to keep their wedding vows.
And in this case 'till death do us part' was probably the promise that saved them from the scandal of the divorce courts.
And in Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd's day, it was probably easier to suck it up and hope they didn't have to stay wed in the afterlife!

Well, it HAPPENED! As promised, Grainne and Chantal did what most of us can only dream of and enticed 'The One and Only' Mr Chesney Hawkes into a room so he could tell us which couple he hasn't gotten over breaking up; and what a wild ride the escapades of Sam Malone and Diane Chambers' romance was.... almost worthy of a storyline from a 1980s sitcom*.

Thank you to everyone who made it down to see this, no doubt you're still reliving the incredible performances Chesney did of his new track 'Get A Hold of Yourself' and THAT song from the 1990s, but for those of you who couldn't join us, this episode is a gift for you to enjoy...*CHEERS!
