Wise Up

The nonsense returns! This week Maddie and Ashleigh engage in a fascinating debate regarding the nominative status of diluting juice / squash. Riveting as always. The two go on to talk about the topics that are on everybody's lips this week: Matt Hancock, the toxic relationship between white British men and football and #FreeBritney. Your favourite podcast duo are throwing it as they take a trip down memory lane to revisit their silly school stories and read out audience submissions. Now, let's promise to never speak of these incidents again.

The podcast was turned on its head this week as Maddie & Ashleigh's Australian alter egos make their debut! Amongst the silliness, the pair make fun of their own horoscope readings, update you on some VITAL (lol) Northern Irish news and discover a new British national holiday that makes their stomachs churn. In this episode, the beloved listeners shared their housemate horror stories with the duo and boy, were they spoilt for stories! Hold on to your seatbelts and let the chaos unfold.

Last week Ashleigh & Maddie used the horoscope segment as free therapy but this week it features personal life updates. Oversharing? Never heard of her. In an effort to keep listeners up to date with N.Irish political news, Ashleigh chats about the current imploding situation at Stormont but of course, the situation has already changed five more times since the episode was recorded. So much for topical. To balance out the despairing political news, Maddie tries to add a lighter tone before realising that perhaps her story isn't so cheery after all. This week, the pair disclose some ridiculous lies they've told and have a giggle over some listener contributions. Stay safe, stay secret & dissolve yourselves.

In a sudden twist of fate, Ashleigh & Maddie's notorious horoscope check in quickly descends into a free therapy session that they both clearly needed. This week, the pair switch things up as the news segment instead morphs into a selection of must-watch recommendations consisting of a mental breakdown scored to 80's synth ballads & a slimy French man getting slapped in the face; there's an option for everyone. So, what's the worst thing that's ever happened to you at work? Tune in to hear your favourite twosome purge themselves of their horror stories related to this week's highly anticipated theme and commiserate with the dear listeners who submitted their own trauma inducing experiences. And of course, don't forget to stay fancy!

Its week five, where does the time go?! This week the dramatic duo experience some technical difficulties but power through to bring you the latest news stories and a smörgåsbord of nightmare dating stories. Ashleigh chats about the most unlikely celebrity / political crossover you'll ever hear of and Maddie regales us with the downfall of a notorious (cheese loving) Liverpudlian gangster. A very valued friend of the podcast donates a generous amount of first date fails for the pair to dissect and the Tinder outreach program makes a return!

In this week’s instalment, Ashleigh & Maddie talk all things red flags and reflect on their tinder research over the past week. The pair are once again victimised by their horoscope app and lament the injustice that took place at Eurovision. On an important note, there is a discussion of the current situation in G a z a; if you are in a position to donate please do so, there are many organisations that are raising funds for medical aid such as MAP which you can find at map.org.uk .

This week, Ashleigh and Maddie turn to alcohol as they bemoan the lies in their horoscopes and the current nonsense surrounding Northern Irish politics before delighting in science's most important discovery to date: recreational drug use in dolphins. The listener contributions follow a thematic thread of drunken mishaps involving a one night stand gone wrong and the leaking of confidential company info. The tipsy twosome round off the episode with some drunken stories of their own, providing detailed analyses of their drink induced vomiting - now who doesn't want to hear that?!
