Wondering about what cereal to buy next? Do nothing until you’ve listened to this episode. Liv discusses her favourite chocolate granolas, and we really get into the merits of a good salad, in particular, the importance of it being well-dressed. Colin from Accounts gets some high praise, and there are some dates for your diary in the form of returning classic TV shows that have got us feeling autumnal in spirit. Liv does a chocolate Marmalade taste test live on air, and we discuss THOSE biscuits from M&S, and the merits of snacking standing up. We share your book recommendations, reminisce over school PE bags and discover the joys of silent disco.

If you’ve got some neighbourhood gossip, a must-have snack or TV show, or just some general chit-chat, email us at thefringeofit@gmail.com, and for even more shenanigans, join us over on IG @fringeofit.

This week Charlotte and Liv are looking to the little (and larger) joys of the summer months- with a hot weather medley to get stuck into. Diving straight in with their summer reads and the gateway book that finally rescued Charlotte from her Book Drought 2024, we go from the best reads to the Olympics in one, erm, pole vault and will begin campaigning for pottery painting to be at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. There’s also big talk of chemise summer (what else could one possibly be wearing?!), why men simply can’t help themselves around barbecues and a Miranda Priestly style lecture on the now infamous Charli XCX slime green. So whether you’re listening from the back of the bus or the edge of the ocean- hopefully you know there’s a big ol’ squeeze of joy to be found wherever you are this summer.

If your life has been changed by a new musical discovery, we very much want to know- please send us your West End anthems (and everything else) over at thefringeofit@gmail.com, and for high quality collages and a lovely carousel (if you’re lucky) of things we chatted about you can have a nosey on our IG too @fringeofit

Is a Bruce Bogtrotter summer the new brat girl summer? What do gym bros *really* have playing in their ears? And will Charlotte ever complete another two-step authentication ever again? A week of big questions and phone updates- all alongside Liv’s acting debut and why she never did quite make it to the bright lights of the West End (a question on, well, actually, nobody’s lips). We also delve into the importance of healing our inner teenagers, why complimenting strangers should be our weekly homework and a vision of smokin’ Austin Butler doing bin bag adverts (if the podcast doesn’t go much further consider us A+ casting directors!)

Naturally, we’re after all your dreamy picnic picky bit recommendations, the best/wildest food reviews you’ve read and truly whatever you fancy- we love it all! If you like, you can drop us a line over at thefringeofit@gmail.com, and for high quality collages and a lovely carousel (if you’re lucky) of things we chatted about you can have a nosey on our IG too @fringeofit

Nostalgia and Anxiety* are back for another catch up, and this week we’re hankering after our very own Andrew Scott summer (Taylor? Kylie? Go on then!) Diving into the big terrestrial TV toss up that was presented earlier in the week before onto a formal introduction to what Liv deems as the very best biscuits of all time- we hope you’re ready for some serious ground to be covered. Plus, we also veer into old school life advice, the sheer amount that can be done with vinegar and kindly request your Woman’s-Weekly-esque tip offs and recommendations please and thank you!

For your home cleaning hacks, song recommendations and, well, whatever you fancy- we truly love hearing from you!

Ahoy there! Wasting not but a second before delving into grand garden reveals, it’s straight into bulb catch ups before Charlotte *finally* dips her toe into One Day (spoilers and waterworks ahead) and Liv starts fancying herself as a film critic. Is this the end of the Mamma Mia 2 chapter?! Only time will tell!* There’s also an important discussion about weatherproof footwear, a magical Cotswold’s shopping spot and Liv wonders, importantly, if she just simply hasn’t got thick enough skin to be a fashion girlie…

From Strictly sequins (did…Liv, erm, mention she’d had a birthday?) to primary school P.E- it’s a week of joy shared in all it’s shapes and forms (even if the rules of tennis are still just too complicated for some of us). In exciting news, Charlotte gets deep in pesto-appreciation and we do a *LIVE* (fanfare please!) taste test for Have I Got Food For You?! We also discuss big topics like being a Stanley Cup Girlie™, when Liv accidentally pretended to be E.T and that hour-long Bridgerton scene (yes, that one).

Resisting the urge to brag about pottery for too long *again*, there's a cruise straight into some top telly recommendations- including a brilliant show you may not have heard of and, in our opinion, a perfect film discovery, with a stellar soundtrack (not to brag or anything). We also begin a delayed catch up of the last four years- from children to breakups, there's a lot to cover- but hey, we've got to start somewhere! Also, and most importantly- the jeans we both can't stop wearing (or talking about)- it's big stuff!

Oh hello there! This weeks episode is accidentally (or not) peppered with a whole lot of wholesome. From discovering pottery painting, getting into (serious) collaging and the joy of supermarket summer picnic collections (Waitrose and those quiches, we’re looking at you)- it’s a summer feast of all things joyful. That is, until Saltburn comes in. We dive right into how Charlotte fared with a few, cough, certain scenes, the series that Liv has been watching in real time (!!) and get chatting about our better late than never discoveries with a bit of help from you lovely listeners- with a whole lot more in-between.

As you know, we love to hear from you! It’s the best! Feel free to send us your thoughts, feelings, new (very delayed) discoveries and any neighbourhood gossip to thefringeofit@gmail.com.
