Spelade

  • Growing up in the badlands of Kildare, Beatrice and Rosemary were big – BIG – Barbie fans. But how do they feel about the blonde bombshell now? Would they give Barbies to their kids (would that Holy God would bless them with a child who had an iota of interest in a Barbie)? And what, exactly, does Barbie have that Sindy doesn't?


    Things we mention include…

    The Barbie wallpaper that started this whole walk down memory laneBeatrice's Instagram obsession, Sindy the Traveler Orthotics for flat feet :-(Who invented Barbie?Stephanie Yeboah's fab CARBIE jumper dress James Corden got a bad time from Reddit THE Barbie Dreamhouse (the fate of which is, as yet, unknown)Philip Larkin's This be the Verse We would love to know your feelings about Barbie – then, and now! And please, reassure us that Rosemary wasn't the only psycho to go at her Barbies with a scissors

  • Can you ever get back with an ex after a bad – or even after a good – breakup? That's the topic of this episode, where we detail the circumstances under which we believe reconciliation to be possible; Beatrice divulges yet another shameful period in her life; and Rosemary finally comes to terms with the fact that she and her ex did not, in fact, decide to break up "mutually" – he moved to Australia. Without her. (Way harsh.)

  • Today more than ever, the lines between hypochondria and genuinely unlucky person with a bad immune system are more blurred than ever – and in the year of our Lord 2021, it's understandable that, at the first sign of a sniffle, some of us suspect the worst. But which side of the spectrum do we fall into – and can we even be trusted to answer that question?!

  • Life as a journalist – and a woman with an above-average BMI – has led Rosemary to try a LOT of fad diets and fad workouts, from running on a treadmill in a wetsuit with suction pipes attached to it (yes, really) to enjoying a mid-morning snack of a single strawberry and three almonds, she's truly tried it all (so you don't have to). Not to be outdone, Beatrice has also indulged in her fair share of fads – and, if she hasn't tried it herself, she's witness the true h-anger of a colleague attempting Beyoncé's own maple syrup madness. We're dishing the dirt on all of the ways we've mistreated our bodies, and how we bounced back.
