We Barely Know Each Other

Self-care is the latest buzz-word to hit 2018, but there is a whole lot more to it that bubble baths and face masks (though that's o.k too). Oprah is an advocate, and so is Winnie the Pooh – so do you know what it is? Did you celebrate International Self-Care Day? Charlie schools Britt in the ways of self-care and Britt supplies the mid-show snack…and shares a little too much about her elbows.

This episode, Britt educates us all on a millennial trend almost everyone can relate to – binge watching. From box sets to harrowing 12 hour Netflix sessions, we go deep into the psychology of this potential addiction while discussing our own binge habits. What actually happens at the end of Lost? Is How I Met Your Mother a complete waste of time? Is Sainsbury's peanut ice-cream just too peanut-y? This, plus much, much more.

Charlie gets environmental and educates the We Barely Know Each Other team on the debate on straws. We all know it's important to cut down on plastics, but is this trend all it cracks up to be? It's a stat-heavy, pun-filled chat about the STRAWful problem our world faces. Meanwhile, we try out a traditional Welsh snack as we try to embrace life in the UK.

Season two starts with a bang as we discuss the origins of 'Lit'. Listen up to hear all about it with surprising links to venereal diseases and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Get Lit, get turnt and get We Barely Know Each Other in your ears. 

The practice of meditation began thousands of years ago, yet it seems to be a major trend of 2018 for celebs, the corporate world and everyday people alike. 

Sit down, get comfy and focus your mind for this episode where we go deep into the history, science and trend-factor of mediation. 

The cold shoulder - an uncomfortable social encounter, the next biggest clothing trend to sweep the planet or both? Which do you love or loathe more? There is a raging debate in the depths of the internet that this week Britt informs Charlie, and all of you, about. 

Plus, the snack bell returns, albeit it little more quietly than last time...

What was the top 'how to' google search of 2017 and still in the top 5 now? No we're not talking about any of the Kardashians for once, but the significantly less glamorous topic of Slime! It's had a long and twisty journey from its Nickelodeon days to bring it to where it is now – a subculture of ASMR followers, teenage millionaires and concerning scientific studies. Listen up for all things slime explained and the return of the snack bell!

Best listened to on your lunch break, because this episode Britt and Charlie condense 1.9 million years of food history into half an hour while discussing the surprisingly engrossing subject of ... sandwiches! Sink your teeth into the wide world of 'sammiches' in which  Mammoths, Earls and eye-drops all play a part.

Part two of our Italian special brings you the tale of Romeo and Juliet expertly told by your two favourite antipodeans Britt and Charlie. Think you know everything about this 'tragicalle' tale? Listen in for some top-rate balcony facts and Paul Rudd chat to keep you entertained. Want to hear what Ryan Reynolds and a shower cubicle have in common? We have that too…

Benvenuti to part one of our Italian special! That's right; WBKEO has gone international, recording two episodes in fair Verona. Britt takes us through the colourful history of high-heels from ancient times to modern day court cases while competing with a vast array of night-time Veronese noises. Are these noises delightful and charming or distracting and un-professional? Only one way to find out! Tune in for your fortnightly dose of chat, facts and culture.
