Today's episode is iconic in just about every way, there's the guest, comedian, drama queen and all-round deity, Dominick Pupa, and there's the couple he picked for us... and it's happened, as this week we get to delve into the world of the patron saint of the show and her erstwhile husband - It's Sonny and Cher!

It's finally arrived! Comedian Heidi Regan has given us all permission to wallow in the lost love of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams and once again lament the fact that no one but Rachel will be kissed they way Ryan kissed her at the VMAs... but unless it's Ryan doin the kissing, what's the point?
Theirs was a love straight out of a Hollywood film, going from hate to love - and in any good romcom, the director would have yelled 'cut' straight after that VMAs kiss and let them walk off into the sunset, but alas, they were in charge of their own destinies and theirs wasn't the fairytale ending of our dreams. So, what ultimately went wrong? Well Grainne and Chantal have all the answers...

This week's episode of TWTW is a 'voyage' into the swinging world of knitted sequin hats, platform silver boots and Eurovision.Yes, cabaret star Luke Merideth, really does a great job in knowing me, knowing you, and decided it was high time we took a deep dive into the torrid love story behind the stars of ABBA!
But, as we didn't have three hours to record, this time we focus on what went on between the one half which contained Agnetha and Bjorn. Did the winner take it all when this romance ultimately failed, or were our erstwhile couple glad that the other took a chance on love?
As always Grainne and Chantal are ready to divulge the details and lay all the love on us, so here we go...

Christmas has come early for Chantal, as we take a deep dive into the very couple she wanted more than ANYTHING to explore, and thanks to her her apparent soul mate, comedian and podcaster Zack Signore, she's able to rip the wrapping off the whirlwind 'romance' that was Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton's more than vile (geddit?) union.
Even ardent team Jen's listening to this will be running over to the dark side to embrace this match made in the underworld - the campaign for them to rekindle this epic love story starts now!

Today's offering of The Way They Were will have anyone with even a passing interest in the escapades of The G.C and Arg absolutely delighted, because thanks to comedian and podcaster, James Barr, that's the only way we're going with this ep! Yes, the Burton and Taylor of reality TV started their wild romance in the year of 2012, the Mayans were right to end their calendar then, as the next 10 years was truly the age of Essex. As always, Grainne has spent days in the archives in order to dig out the real story of this off and on again saga, allowing us to feel like we were at their first kiss thanks to dramatisations by Chantal and James.
AND, James comes up with possibly the best love match for patron saint Cher we've had yet..

In today's episode, we see that young love can be just as heartbreaking and nuanced as any adult relationship - especially if the people concerned have stayed at the age of eight for 35years... which is exactly the state of play for Lisa Simpson and her bad boy love interest Nelson Muntz.
Yes, that right, we're going all the way back to the golden year of 1996, when our saxophone playing precocious genius, Lisa had her head turned by the local tearaway, Nelson, and for that we have writer, comedian and internet sensation, Benedict Townsend to thank! Haaahaa!
According to the 'The Simpsons' Lisa and Nelson were never meant to be, but what happens to our star-crossed lovers beyond Springfield? Is there more than meets the eye to this story? Perhaps so, and there are dramatisations aplenty in this ep to illustrate what really happened in this sweet tale of first crushes...
