Hopeless Romantics

If our full episodes are a deep dive, consider this more of a dip of the toe. Maybe a waist-deep wade?

In this quickie, Harriet Power and I take a look back at one of the best scenes in one of the best rom-coms of all time. Julia Roberts. Hugh Grant. And one hell of a dinner party.

The full episode can be found in season 1 episode 25!

I Love Lucy!

Hello small town rom-com queen Lucy-freaking-Score! You may know her as the author of the tik-tok sensation Things We Never Got Over (and 34 others) but now I know her as 'one of my favourite guests ever'

We dive into everything from her latest novel Story of My Life  (hello, a hot, grumpy tradie and a romance novelist in crisis!) to the magic of found family, the evolution of her writing, and the importance of choreographing certain scenes with her husband, Mr. Lucy.

Love you x

Adam Hyde (a.k.a. Keli Holiday) joins me this week for an open hearted chat about the profound power of love, the profound impact of personal loss and how the two are inexplicably linked.

It's been a joy to watch Adam fall in love, and I savoured every second of this chat as we explore how he got here, and how his understanding of love, safety and connection has changed since finding his girl.

Love you x

This week, we head to the cinema (art house, obviously) to see the new Downton Abbey film and return with tales of squeaky chairs, loud sobs (Ash's, duh) and more importantly...four key love lessons that Downton Abbey has taught us over the years.

From Sybil and Tom’s cross-class romance to Lady Mary’s habit of shagging strangers, we unpack how the show (and the film) can help us in life and more importantly in LOVE! Plus, we round it all off with a few castle-based rom-com recommendations to keep the magic alive.

Love you x

You may know him as the 'vibes guy' on the internet or the host of Edge arvos on your radio station (if you live in NZ). But after this chat, you'll know him as the guy who sends his Dad 30 minutes voice memos, sometimes cries in the car and has never heard his girlfriend pass wind.

It was an absolute JOY to get to know Harrison on a deeper level, and a pleasure to him hear him open his big, soft heart as I sat there and cried intermittently for 39 minutes.

Love you, mate x

You may know him as the 'vibes' guy on the internet or the host of Edge arvos on your radio in Aotearoa, but after this episode you'll know him as the guy who sends 30 minutes voice notes to his Dad, often cries in his car and has never heard his girlfriend fart.

He's a lover not a fighter, and I had an absolute ball getting to know Harrison on a deeper level. Enjoy this wonderful chat, where Harrison opens up that big beautiful heart and as a result I cry intermittently for 39 minutes.

Love you mate.

Welcome to the first Hopeless Hotline, where I answer listener-submitted dilemmas - ranging from love and friendship to identity crises and existential meltdowns.

This week, our 'hopeless romantic' has a question about a big clash in values between herself and her partner. It's taken her by surprise, and left her wondering if she's misread him - and them - all along.

Have your own question for the hotline? Shoot me a voicemail or DM on instagram!

Love you x

The Hopeless Hotline is produced by Ash London and Damaris Treasure.

Everyone seems to have an opinion on Taylor's engagement news.  We don't have an opinion, as much as we have feelings (and plot twist...they're good ones)  In this quickie, Damaris Treasure joins me to ask the question..."why can't people just be happy for Taylor Swift?"
