November 29, 2024 5:The Way They ARE: Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
In today's instalment of The Way They ARE, we are ALL amused at the right royal romance that was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, as it's often held aloft as the quintessential fairy tale love story.. but perhaps other motives were at work behind the scenes, and that one of the party weren't quite as on board with it as legend suggests? This ep is an eyeopener in more ways than one...believe me....

November 08, 2024 2 The Way They ARE: Abraham & Mary Todd Lincoln
In the second outing of the little cousin of The Way They Were - aka, The Way They ARE - it's Grainne's turn to present us with a couple, who despite all odds, managed to keep their wedding vows.
And in this case 'till death do us part' was probably the promise that saved them from the scandal of the divorce courts.
And in Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd's day, it was probably easier to suck it up and hope they didn't have to stay wed in the afterlife!

October 25, 2024 104: Chesney Hawkes, LIVE! Sam Malone & Diane Chambers
Well, it HAPPENED! As promised, Grainne and Chantal did what most of us can only dream of and enticed 'The One and Only' Mr Chesney Hawkes into a room so he could tell us which couple he hasn't gotten over breaking up; and what a wild ride the escapades of Sam Malone and Diane Chambers' romance was.... almost worthy of a storyline from a 1980s sitcom*.
Not only will you hear Chesney talk about his own romantic endeavours, but you'll also get to listen to some of the most dramatic - and electric - reenactments we've ever had on the show.
Thank you to everyone who made it down to see this, no doubt you're still reliving the incredible performances Chesney did of his new track 'Get A Hold of Yourself' and THAT song from the 1990s, but for those of you who couldn't join us, this episode is a gift for you to enjoy...*CHEERS!
