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 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.

 

Episode 8.1 is our second Coronavirus episode! The questions we answer are Covid-19 related and we chat about what we're going through with it too. We discuss partners who aren't feeling sexy in lockdown, struggling to revisit films and TV shows that remind you of your ex, and what to do if you're having recurring dreams about an ex. 

It's our second socially distanced episode so the sound quality isn't as good as it usually is but it's still pretty decent! 

Join us in Part Two for discussion of the films Marriage Story (2019; Dir. Noah Baumbach) and Silver Linings Playbook (2012; Dir. David O. Russell) and our other recommendations. Big spoilers ahead for both films!
