Clown noses and trowels at the ready, Polin excavators! This week, we’re visiting the ancient sites of filming leaks past to try and uncover sacred crumbs for episodes 3 and 4 of Season 3.

We’ll be venturing into the dusty tombs of September and October 2022, encountering such mysterious monuments as giant waterfowl, tiny carriages, and the most remarkable treasure of all: glowed-up Pen in Bridgerton blue.

Elsewhere, we’ll be transforming into an art history podcast as we ask whether a Dutch painting of a horse can unlock the secrets to a rendezvous in Colin’s bedroom and if an innocuous illustration could be the key to a most beloved book scene.

Get in the carriage, listener. We’re going on a crumbs hunt.
