In this first episode, Caroline and Helen introduce themselves and chat about fanfiction, friendships within fandoms and if you can do a group chat on twitter. They also discuss why fanfiction is so popular, why it's commonly misunderstood and Caroline performs a dramatic reading of her seminal piece "The Phantom of the Supermarket".

Episode 1: Fanfiction

The Casual Fangirls is a podcast driven by love of all manner of fandoms. Caroline and Helen are two life long friends with very different taste and a heck of a lot of opinions. We discuss various fandoms, share embarassing stories and talk about issues that are important to us. Also, a fun drinking game is "how many times does Caroline say 'Richard Armitage' per episode?"

Comedy

We’re taking a short break, hopefully we’ll be back with all new episodes in the next two weeks!

Caroline and Helen get together over zoom to discuss the "new normal" way of living, how the internet is bringing people together and why we feel personally victimised by our screen time reports. 

Episode 17: The Inevitable Lockdown Podcast

Here's our belated International Women's Day episode. We rant about expectations of women based on our wombs, female characters, our role models and why we need more stories that don't revolve around love. Contains strong language and needless mentions of Richard Armitage.

Episode 16: The Best Thing About Being A Woman..

Caroline went to see Uncle Vanya at the Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End on the 1st Feb. The first ten minutes are a review of the play (plus a bonus review of the theatre's toilets..), the rest is Caroline telling Helen about her absolute fiasco of a stage door experience.

Episode 15: Uncle Vanya Review

I was saying Boo-urns. 
Caroline and Ross sit down on Burns Night for a mini episode. They discuss what it’s like to be Scottish, why some people seem to identify strongly with their roots and why Ross has 100 cans of irn bru stashed under his stairs. Contains strong language and the use of the c word. Sorry mum.
