About this listen

Bel's joined the tiny Manchester office of a national paper from her indie podcast.

Thirty-something Connor is going back to the start as the new intern.

The latest office news? They can't stand each other.

So of course Bel bumps into Connor when she's working undercover on the biggest scoop of her career. And of course she's forced to improvise, pretending they're a couple. A couple deeply in love.

Two rivals. One fake romance. The headline writes itself…
