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.

We talk about how to navigate getting back with an ex who's quick to get carried away, how to ask an ex to delete your nudes, and what to do if your partner puts polyamory on the table.

Join us in Part Two for discussion of the films The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012; Dir. Stephen Chbosky) and Submarine (2010; Dir. Richard Ayoade) and our other recommendations. Big spoilers ahead for both films!

 

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