Number 1: Harry & Meghan’s UK Return: The Royal Reunion?
Breaking news! Just when we thought Harry and Meghan had settled into their Californian era, the ex royals are heading back to Britain. Even though the baby is sound asleep next door, Grainne and Chantal have called an emergency The Way They Were summit to discuss what this means for the royal family and whether reconciliation is finally on the cards. Plus, over on Patreon: Dakota Johnson, Nicole Kidman and… Shane Richie? Three names we never expected to put in the same sentence, but here we are.

Number 2: Earl Charles Spencer & Countess Karen Gordon with Davina Bentley
From society weddings to headline making break-ups, Earl Charles Spencer's love life has generated almost as many column inches as the royal family itself. This week, Chantal and Gráinne are joined by the hilarious Davina Bentley to untangle the many relationships of Princess Diana's younger brother, from his marriages to his recent split from Countess Karen Gordon. From grand estates to front-page dramas, the trio explore how one of Britain's most famous families found itself back in the spotlight and ask why the romantic lives of the aristocracy continue to fascinate us.

Number 4: Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj
What's the T? The Girls are figthing! There was a time when Nicki Minaj and Cardi B looked like they could rule rap together. Instead, they gave us one of the defining celebrity feuds of the 2010s: diss tracks, subtweets, fan wars and, eventually, a flying shoe. This week, Chantal and Gráinne trace how admiration curdled into all-out warfare, ask whether there was ever room for two queens, and wonder if there's any way Nicki Minaj can come back from her MAGA downward spiral.

Number 5: Taylor Swift and Katy Perry
In 2015, Bad Blood turned a rumoured fallout between two pop princesses into the biggest cold war of the 2010s, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry became locked in a feud fuelled by stolen dancers, subtweets, stan armies and forensic lyric analysis. This week on The Way They Were, Gráinne and Chantal revisit the glittery, petty, weirdly addictive feud that defined pop’s Tumblr era and ask: was any of it ever really about the dancers?
