Hi!

Here’s a really old recording I did with Alyssa continuing the comics! It was SO LOVELY to hear her voice again on the pod.🥹 (Note: this was recorded so long ago that we use the wrong pronouns for Darcy. They hadn’t canonically changed their pronouns yet. I am sorry about that!!)

There’s a lot of background noise in this one and I am sorry for that, as well. It was clearly summer. There’s mowers going and kids yelling. And Alyssa moved near a fire station so we struggled with that too. BUT I hope you enjoy heading to Paris with the squad, watching the teachers flirt, learning Nick can speak French, and of course- Hickeys! Also, unfortunately we start to dig into Charlie’s struggles and start to discuss his disordered eating. So, it gets a bit heavy for a minute.

OH HI!! I have missed you so and I am so glad to be back!

I have Sabrina with me to wrap up season three with our overall thoughts, favorite scenes, and reading out your emails! Adam was unable to join us but he sent in his thoughts so you will get to hear him in this episode, as well! There is a weird clipping every now and then thanks to my internet connection the day we recorded this over zoom. My apologies for those moments!

I am leaving the schedule just a bit open here in the beginning, as I am about to head out to London for a week. I didn't want to delay the pod return any longer though, so I am moving forward with putting this one out on time! Thank you all for hanging in here with me while I took the much needed long break for the summer. I appreciate you all!! I hope you enjoy two hours of us gabbing season three!

HI.

After scheduling conflicts and a week long sickness, I present to you OUR FINAL episode on Heartstopper the show?! I sobbed writing a little message for the top of this episode and had to just read it word for word to keep from sobbing on mic. lololol

We are diving into Uni trips, buying sex supplies, the summer fete, and boyfriend sleepovers. This might be one of the longest eps we have released but with it being the final show discussion, I figured the length would be welcomed! I also included the book watch I forgot to add in the last episode. And obviously, you will hear the final book watch of the season with Kate! Big thank you to Kate for helping us out with that segment this season and for being so truly on top of the book count and analysis for this series!

I also want to thank you all for being here and going on this journey with me. Talking about this show that means so much to us all with so many of you has been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions and I have loved every second of it. I hope you enjoy this episode and I look forward to continuing on with the graphic novels while we wait for the film!!

Hi!

Adam and I are back to discuss the PENULTIMATE EPISODE of season three on this the three year anniversary of season one. What is time, actually? (HAPPY HEARTSTOPPER MOVIE ANNOUNCEMENT DAY TO YOU ALL AS WELL!!!!!)

We get some really bad sex education followed by some really great representation of healthy sexual exploration. Our hearts swell watching Tao, Naomi, and Felix help to put Elle back together after the fall out of the interview. Harry graces us with his punchable presence one last time. And the amount of forehead touches we get in this one actually murders me. (I am typing this from beyond the grave. Ghost Sarah says hello to you all.)

Here is the Adolescence discussion Adam put out on his podcast.

Hi!

We are back to catch up with Adam and hear all of his thoughts for Winter and Body before we dive back into the last two episodes together. We also read out some comments and emails and discuss the lovely insight you all shared with us.

Note: The outro says we will be back in 2 weeks with "Together" BUT I actually have so much going on this upcoming week that I am thinking I am going to have to push it one week. This will be the first episode of our s3 coverage that won't air on it's intended date. So I will take it as a win that we made it to the final two episodes before the schedule fell apart this time! 🤪

Anyway, enjoy!! Thanks for listening and writing in to us and for supporting us and being so lovely all the dang time! Big love to you all! 💙

Hi!!

Sabrina and I are back to chat sexual tension, really good therapy sessions, the horrors of drinking as a youth, delicious parallels, comic goodness, and Jonathan Bailey! Enjoy our chat on Body!

And send in your s3 emails for the next episode! We will catch up with Adam and hear his thoughts on Winter and Body + read out your emails. 😊

*ps-- there was an issue with my audio this time where it like clips and sometimes the middle of my word is cut out. So, if I sound a bit like a dysfunctional robot every now and then, I am so sorry. Also, my cat, Tara, was screaming outside my door for a bit bc she loves my office window and was locked out. If anyone speaks cat, let me know all the insults she threw my way during that section. 😉

Hi!!!

I come to you with a new voice! For this episode and next episode, I am joined by my dear friend and the person responsible for my Heartstopper obsession, Sabrina Ryan! She and I have come full circle now that she is here on mic with me! We are here to talk Christmas, horrible family members being the worst, HENRY, Tori being the best sister ever, OLIVER, Nick getting Heartstopper's first "fuck," New Years parties, MICHAEL HOLDEN, and trans sisterhood and mentorship! I hope you enjoy our chaotic banter.

Hi!

We are back (with the correct audio this time) on the Spring couch picking back up right where we left off. Charlie is sliding deeper and deeper into the darkness until Jane and Julio finally offer him a lifeline. He packs up and heads into a treatment facility. Susan and Geoff are there to help him through it and he comes out the other side feeling better. We get to see the Tao's full video, learn more about Imogen and Sahar, Darcy announces a pronoun change, and Nick is Tori's favorite. PLUS a very special surprise guest joins me for a discussion on this episode. Again, grab those tissues and buckle up! We are talking the second half of Journey!

Who's ready to cry?! This episode has so much packed in that we decided to split it between two discussions with Nick's half first and Charlie's half next time! So join us today, as Nick learns the benefits of journaling. Charlie heads off to the Daffodil Clinic. The friendship group comes together to support not only Charlie, but also Nick. Sahar has a massive halloween party and also MAKES OUT WITH IMOGEN?! Tao and Nick break our hearts. Charlie starts to see some progress. And we all get sent right back to the beginning of the episode in a brilliant move by Alice and the team! We are talking season three episode four JOURNEY!!!

Side note: we got so caught up in Nick and Charlie that we did not get too much into Darcy's hair cut or Imogen and Sahar's makeout (I KNOW! HOW DARE WE!?) Fret not, those are on the part two agenda to discuss ;)

Hi!

(This is another super long one. I had some major  technical difficulties in the editing process and it took me literal ages. I am now three hundred and forty-seven years old as I type this out for you. Please excuse the animals you can hear in the background sometimes and the entire last 40 minutes or so is only very roughly edited because it just kept freezing so I had to save my sanity and release control over the quality a bit. There's definitely more "uhm's" and more general background noise than usual. My deepest apologies! -Ash)

We are headed back to where it all began- SCHOOL! Tao is so extremely mopey. Isaac has had enough and finally explodes. Tara is really feeling the burnout. We get some birthday shenanigans at the zoo. THE memory photo album makes an appearance. And then we all lay down in the fetal position and have a good collective cry. We are talking Heartstopper season three episode three “Talk!”
