July 07 0.24: Chapter Four (Part Three)
HI 🍂
Andi and I recorded this a while ago and I have just been having trouble with finding editing time. I am so sorry for the delay. But please enjoy us finishing Heartstopper Chapter Four! The gang is enjoying their time together in Paris, it's Tara's birthday, and Nick comes out to a room full of people!
Also, as we were recording this, we got the news about Echo. I have cut it from the main episode but at the end you can hear us talk about how sad we are with the final page including Nellie. 😞

May 09 Heated Rivalry: 1.06 The Cottage (Part Two)
HI!
So sorry this took so long. Please enjoy Andi, Zach, and myself jumping right back in where we left off last episode!
Also thank you so much for going on this journey with me. I know coverage was quite a different vibe to the Heartstopper content you are used to from this pod. I appreciate all of you who continued to listen. And I am so happy that we met some new listeners along the way, as well! Welcome! I hope we all continue to enjoy the burgers and pasta together moving forward! 💙

April 09 Heated Rivalry: 1.06 The Cottage (Part One)
WE'RE COMING TO THE COTTAGE! Andi and Zach join me for a lot of melting and jumping off emotional cliffs as we work our way through a little over half the season one finale! Of course, it had to be split in two recordings because we simply had too much to say. I hope you all enjoyyy!
Shout out to Eli for the insight on the song from the car ride to the cottage! Here is the link to the youtube video for that, as promised-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9FDit6rgQI.

Helloooo everyone! I am joined by my friends KT, Lizzie, and Joe this week and we are back to talk all about the supportive female besties, The Tampa All Star Game Adventure, the iconic cottage invitation, THE monologue, and of course, the kiss that changed everything!
I can’t believe we are already talking episode five! Stay tuned for a special bonus episode coming out soon where I got to chat with Bianca Nugara who plays Maria!

March 05 Heated Rivalry: 1.04 Rose
Who is ready to have their heart stomped out?! I have my friends and Youtubers, Zachary Patton Garcia and Alastair Patton Garcia, with me to head to Boston for some steamy sex, tune melts, getting a little too vulnerable, and then leaving as quickly as possible. And then we head down to the club to break some hearts even further but hey, at least there's bisexual lighting! Also, we get our introduction to a true queen, Rose Landry!
Once again, I am sorry for the barking in the last 20 minutes or so. My baby was not doing well when we recorded these last few episodes and hated being alone so he barked constantly. I cut as much of it as I could without taking away too much from the conversation. I appreciate y'all hanging in there with me while he was being loud.

February 19 Heated Rivalry: 1.03 Hunter
Hi!
I am back with Adam and Andi (Triple A status this time) to take a trip to the Big Apple and have some very gross looking smoothies! What a gem this episode is. We get to add Maria and Elena to the Girls Protecting the Gays Committee. We get a nice break from the horrible communication we have seen previously, as these two are just open and honest from jump. Also, shout out to Kip's dad for being the actual best ever?
This is the longest episode WAWLT has ever put out so, buckle up!
*Oh! And I apologize for the screaming cat in the background... My pets apparently have a lot to say about Heated Rivalry and are desperate to be involved in these recordings.

February 05 Heated Rivalry: 1.02 Olympians
I am back with a brand new set of cohosts!! This episode I have Jeremy, Susan, and Aliza joining me to dive into flirty text montages, a sex scene far too tender to be casual, the emotional terror that is the Sochi Olympics, panic attacks in award show bathrooms, and crying in Vegas... again.
So sorry for my elderly dog barking like mad from around minute 13 to around minute 40. You can only hear it when I talk and I tried to cut as much out as I could. He is seventeen and usually my partner is home to sit with him while I record but unfortunately for the first hour of this recording that was not an option.

Here is the link to Ilya's perspective on Vegas from Rachel's website that is heavily referenced in the episode.

Follow Jeremy!
