    The Weekly Crumb #10 - What a Splendid Anniversary! [S3 Pt 1 Retrospective & S4 News]
    May 16 2025

    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!

  • Episode 69 - What a Conversation with Mitchell Kohen! [Bridgerton Foley Artist]

    Episode 69 - What a Conversation with Mitchell Kohen! [Bridgerton Foley Artist]
    May 6 2025
    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. *Show NotesFollow Mitchell on Instagram: @soundslikemitchellFollow Mitchell on Reddit: u/soundslikemitchell*Show Notes: Crumbs Radio Times: Bridgerton casts Gracie McGonigal in Season 4 AlloCiné: Interview with Nicola CoughlanReddit: *Spoiler Alert* Rumoured casting for Season 4Reddit: Chris Fulton at Land ConYouTube: Trailer for Tudum 2025Shorty Awards: The Bridgerton Chaise speaks outGold Derby: Netflix put forward Bridgerton cast for Emmy considerationHarper’s Bazaar: Nicola Coughlan honoured with Konbini Commitment Award at CanneseriesWhatsOnStage: Nicola Coughlan to star in ‘The Playboy of the Western World’ at the National TheatrePlaybill: Hannah Dodd and Rob Madge join the London cast of ‘Cabaret’WhatsOnStage: Rob Madge’s ‘My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?)’ announces New York runWhatsOnStage: Kitty Devlin joins the cast of ‘The Show That Goes Wrong’Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre: James Phoon joins ‘Shakespeare For Every Day of the Year: Live’UKTV: Release date announced for Bessie Carter’s ‘Outrageous’*Follow UsPatreon Instagram⁠ ⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠YouTube

    Episode 68 - What a Feeling That is Like Torture! [S3E4 Rewatch, Part 3]
    Apr 20 2025
    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.
