Happy anniversary, dearest listeners!

Join us as we raise a catch and toast to Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1 and reminisce over twelve splendid months of flyaway balloons, scandalous journals and the most remarkable shade of blue.

We’ll be taking a celebratory carriage ride to the library to meet with a Regency king, a rugged pair of boots and a very tingly Lady Whistledown. And as Portia teaches a little lesson in self-love, we’ll be lending Colin a hand in catching an authoress in an unexpected corner.

With the champagne still flowing, we’ll be moving the afterparty over to Bridgerton House for a chandelier rendezvous with Sibling Number Two and a rather enchanted Lady in Silver.

And so, as we begin the next part of our journey, let us cheers once more to the match of the season, and the oldest of friends!

Grab your Very Important Props and crunchiest snacks, dearest listeners!

Join us as we step into the studio to meet the man behind the sound, Mitchell Kohen, to discuss his work as the ton’s finest Foley Artist.

We’ll be learning how Mitchell made a splash in the industry, from his time curating airplane playlists, to working shifts at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and bowing before the Queen of Regency England.

As Mitchell takes us on a tour of the Foley stage, we’ll be living a day in the life of Bridgerton post-production, walking in the footsteps of the Diamond, playing skittles with Prudence and putting on our heels to dance the Quadrille six times over.

We’ll also be uncovering the secrets of Lady Whistledown’s quill, an earthy afternoon tea and the great escape of a soon-to-be-monarch. What crucial role does a toy train play in the Polin love story? Why will we forever shudder at the thought of ravioli? And, most importantly, what does Francesca Bridgerton really think about SunChips?

Turn up the volume and listen close: if there is one thing you should know by now, it is that this podcast cannot keep quiet for long.

Wait! Let us in, dearest listeners. We’ve reached the climax of our S3E4 rewatch and it is everything we have been wanting to say to you for weeks.

As Pen’s disastrous evening comes to a close, we’ll be waving down her carriage, slipping down our sleeves and proofreading Colin’s list of reasons as to why Lord Alfred Debling is just not right for his Pen.

And while Colin lends his bestie a helping hand, we’ll be solving the mystery of a missing cravat, placing an order with Gen for a very slippy dress and writing up the cleaning bill for two traumatised Featherington footmen.

But let’s not forget to stop at Bridgerton House first for we believe there is a question to be asked. What else could there possibly be left to say about these two old friends? So much more, listeners. So much more.

Hit it, Archer: ♫ Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink. Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink. ♫

Dance cards at the ready, dear listener. This little love play is about to begin.

As Colin arrives fashionably late to the Queen’s Ball, we’ll be chasséing our way past the Lord Squad and lurking behind broken columns for the next part of our S3E4 rewatch.

After a danceus interruptus sends Debling’s proposal plans waltzing out the window, we’ll be battling it out with Eros and Psyche, not drinking lemonade with Miss Francesca and solving the mystery of the view across the square.

Perhaps you should put your armour back on, Colin. It appears you and Miss Featherington have something to resolve.

Do try not to injure yourself too badly, though. You’ll be needing those hands for later.

Clear your bottle-weary heads and step away from the windowsill, dearest listeners – we are in pursuit of some revelry.

Join us as we embark on the first part of our S3E4 rewatch, where we’ll be pulling out our Fuller Library cards to read up on the tragedy of a spinster, the fabled Northwest Passage and dropsy of a Featherington’s pancreas.

As Pen finds herself called upon by a very fine bird and a questionable potted plant, we’ll be crunching on mille-feuilles with the Marquess, lumbering in the hallway with Colin and checking the Bridgerton armour for signs of rust.

But let’s not miss the fruits of our labours, dearest listeners. Penelope may be getting a rather quick proposal tonight, but we’re not quite ready to close the book on one particular history of connection.

Can’t help but be drawn back into a story of love, Miss Featherington? We concur with you there.

Ships Ahoy, dearest listener! We’re setting sail on the Season of Love.

As we dip our toes into the cloudy waters of 1816, we’ll be pulling down our balloons, hoisting up our kites and grabbing our tins of yellow paint to redecorate for the season ahead.

Once we’ve dropped our anchors at Grosvenor Square, we’ll be slipping down the staircase with Benedict, sneaking into the maids’ quarters with Hyacinth and gossiping around the table with Footman John.

As preparations get underway for A Midsummer Night's Masquerade, we’ll be dashing across the square for an important afternoon of squeezing Colin’s cheeks, playing maid for Penelope and polishing up everyone’s favourite looking glass.

And when moonlight finally falls, we’ll be raising our masts and preparing for our decks to swept by the arrival of a skull and crossboned buccaneer.

Pirate Pen, the swashbuckling blonde? Shiver our timbers, indeed.

One, two, three – HEAVE! Grab a rope and get tugging, dearest listeners, because it’s time for Part 2 of our 303 rewatch.

As Penelope risks certain(ish) death for a glimpse of Colin Bridgerton’s exposed forearms, we’ll be rolling up our sleeves, sucking the sugar from our fingers and tearing through another pair of trousers to help a thirdborn’s hero complex save the day.

While we wait for the giant balloon to make its deadly approach, we’ll be passing time fourth-wheeling with Eloise, misplacing a dearly beloved pirate coat and seeking justice for severely aggrieved hand-woven swans.

Once we’ve finally deflated from a blustery day’s excitement, we’ll be dropping our gloves at the Hawkins Ball, hitting mute on a meet cute and summoning the courage to ask one Miss Featherington a very important question.

If only we could stop staring at her lips long enough to remember what exactly was on our minds…

Later, we’ll be heading to the shops with the ton’s newest Mama and a giant mint green bow, where we’ll be debating whether Eloise Bridgerton is finally ready to branch out or if we’re all just barking up the wrong tree.

Wakey, wakey sleepyheads. Looks like someone’s been enjoying their wildest fantasies a little too well.

After spending the night in dreamland with Colin Bridgerton’s roused subconscious, it’s time to jump out of bed, refresh the sheets and begin Part 1 of our S3E3 rewatch.

As Dream Polin consume our every thought, we’ll be breakfasting with Benedict, falling off roofs with Greg and gulping down tea with a rather flustered thirdborn son.

Once we’ve commiserated over a failed reconciliation, we’ll be clearing our head with a promenade, glaring at mamas with Rae and diving under a willow tree to meet with a very good acquaintance of the family’s.

And if a time-travelling vegetarian decides to come a-courting? Worry not, dear Mr Bridgerton. We have it on very good authority that Prophet Hyacinth has already foretold your future:

It is just Polin. It has only ever been Polin.

Make-up brushes at the ready, Rae. We should like to try something a little different tonight.

Join us as we welcome Erika Ökvist for a discussion of her exquisite work as Hair and Make Up Designer of Bridgerton Season 3.

As Erika reveals her journey from aspiring princess to an Emmy award-winning designer, we’ll be slipping on the banana peel of creativity to explore the importance of artistic experimentation, storytelling through details and why inspiration can be found in the most unlikely of places.

Erika will be taking us through the day in the life of a busy Bridgerton set, tackling tattoos, heatwaves and the deadliest sin of them all: gossiping. Elsewhere, we’ll be visiting Featherington House to discover the secrets of a Mayfair starlet and why true love really is the silk lining in our very own woollen coats.

And as the Season 3 winds blow our favourite traveller ashore, we’ll be swooning over pirate coats, sea swept waves and one very tousled emotional support curl.

After all: Colin Bridgerton, your eyebrows are the most remarkable shape of seagull wings.
