Hey nerds! We go fast and hard this week with the brilliant and hilarious Phil Wang to discuss his new Netflix special, Wang in There, Baby!

Plus: More Everest obsession from you know who, more Scandi drama from you know who, and someone (we're not naming names) embarrasses herself in the environs of a West End musical.

It's too early to talk about gourds, right? We hold on to the last vestiges of summer by immersing ourselves in Nantucket's Perfect Couple. (Is Sara the only one watching and thinking about how Nicole Kidman's Hollywood bestie is Naomi Watts, and Naomi Watts is also Liev Schreiber's ex-wife, and Liev Schreiber is playing Nicole Kidman's husband? Anyone? Bueller?) We delve into Couples Therapy too, of course, don't worry your pretty little heads. 

And our guest this week! It's only one of the world's - the world's! - best comedians, John Kearns, here to talk about his new standup special Varnishing Days.

Hello, we back on our sofa in front of the telly after all our summer "specials", and we have news. Seismic news. >9 on the Richter Scale*

Also, this week's interview was recorded at our first ever festival appearance. It's trailblazing comedian Josie Long, recorded live at End of the Road 2024. Spoiler alert: We didn't take the brown acid.

While Sara re-adjusts to civilian life post-Edinburgh, it's everyone's favourite kind of episode: A CLIP SHOW! Only the finest pickings from the past year-and-change of interviews, though. PLUS: How Sara's Fringe ended. AND: An unlikely hero emerges. WARNING: Contains potentially offensive accents.

Our final episode semi-recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, and Sara thinks it's the 2nd best interview we've ever done. Geoff is more circumspect about making those kind of statements, but you're in for a treat: Comedian Matt Forde talks about his new show "The End of an Era Tour', and this tumultuous past year of his life. Plus, if you're here for the Hermitage of Braid content, good news! There's an arguably overly-long anecdote about the Hermitage of Braid.

It's the second of our summer specials where we talk TV with the most dazzling comedians at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. 

Today, it's Pierre Novellie. This guy has standup as good as Seinfeld, and he has just published a truly, genuinely we-mean-it brilliant book about receiving an autism diagnosis at the age of thirty-one. 

Plus America's sweethearts, the DCC - if you know, you know - and if you don't, you soon will. Also: Sara exhibits her most British behaviour to date. 

See Sara's show, 'Anything For You' at the Edinburgh Fringe: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/sara-barron-anything-for-you

Then see Pierre's show, 'Must We?': https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/pierre-novellie-must-we

Sara's at the Edinburgh Fringe - or is she? So, it's the first of our summer specials where we talk TV with the festival's most dazzling comedians.

Today, it's Jessie Cave. We loved her previous Edinburgh show, Sunrise, and she's back at the Fringe with *two* shows, An Ecstatic Display and a work-in-progress with her partner/ex (delete as applicable) and baby-pappa, Alfie Brown. You may know Jessie from her many TV appearances and acting roles, or as Lavender Brown in various Harry Potter movies and other I.P. She's funny, she's insightful, she's candid, and she's got all the talent. It's all very triggering to Sara, but she'd still like to be Jessie's BFF.

A more gracious podcaster would have linked to Jessie's Fringe shows first: https://bit.ly/jtltw and https://bit.ly/jtltw2

Summer vibes, everyone! SUMMER VIBES. 

We're bridging out of usual vibes into summer vibes. 

We spoke this week to HOLLYWOOD INSIDER Mark Monroe, about being Hollywood's go-to documentary doctor. You'll be unsurprised to hear we think he really liked us. 

Plus chat on living separately - we're not divorced, but have we mentioned Sara's up in Edinburgh? - and your usual email contributions. PLUS our podcast plans for the remainder of the summer.

Sara is deep in Edinburgh Fringe preparation, so it's a basic bitch episode: You'll get our guest, you'll get your email, then we're OUT. Not that our guest is a basic bitch, she's a real lady (like Easy V, who doesn't come for free.) She is Camilla Whitehill, creator of Channel 4's 'Big Mood'.

For the first time in forty-five years, Sara watched football. Despite how momentous this was, she was forbidden from using the experience for her Quick Watch. Instead, she did what all good women do when their husbands TRY TO CONTROL THEM: a pivot to Rashida Jones. 

Also we talk to the laser-sharp and truly hilarious Michelle de Swarte, whose new show Spent is out now!
