Welcome to ‘Breaking Up’ - a podcast about break-ups, love, pop culture, and emotional renewal, hosted by Isabella Shields and Adam Benmakhlouf. Every week we answer some hypothetical questions as agony aunts, then discuss what we think are the best examples of break-up in media to help cope with heartbreak and focus on the upside of breaking up.

In the first part of our fourth episode we discuss whether or not it's ok to break up with someone via text and how to handle insecurity around your partner being intimate with their ex.

Join us in Part Two for discussion of Reese Witherspoon films Wild (2014; Dir. Jean-Marc Vallée) and Legally Blonde (2001; Dir. Robert Luketic) and our other recommendations. Big spoilers ahead for both films!

With huge thanks to Laurie Brown for designing our cover art.
