    Episode 72 - What a Leak! [Bridgerton S4 Release Date & Poster Easter Eggs]
    Oct 5 2025

    Thank Goodness! A leak has sprung at Bridgerton House and we couldn’t be happier.


    To celebrate the unmasking of the Season 4 release dates, we’ll be tipping our gloves to the Dutch, hiking with the ducks and grabbing our baskets for a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt.*


    After drinking that brown liquor with a Bridgerton father figure, we’ll also be stopping by Romney Hall to scatter a few seeds with the Collector and search for a Lady in Silver standing amongst the roses. And if we happen to have a little Spare time on our hands? Well, perhaps we’ll borrow a Baronet’s tools to do a spot of raking around.


    With 7 reasons to love Benedict Bridgerton and only 116 days until we love Sophie Baek, the gloves are off and the countdown is on. Unmask true love? Don’t mind if we do.

    Episode 71 - What a Muddy Pair of Boots! [S3E5 Rewatch, Part 2]
    Jul 27 2025
    Care for a game of charades, dearest listeners? Bridgerton rules, everyone. After a couple more rounds on the chaise, we’re taking the carriage across the park to finish up our S3E5 Part 2 rewatch before the clock runs out. Um. The clock of life, of course. With the Queen back on her fruitless hunt, we’ll be snacking on biscuits with a hungry Pen, shirking Colin’s gaze all evening and chasing a suspicious streak of mud with a phantom-to-be. While Kate outdoes herself at the Polin engagement party, we’ll be inviting ourselves over for macarons, riddles and-- LILIES. FORGET-ME-NOT. LILACS! (No, Anthony. Dessert.)And as the clock approaches midnight, we’ll be gasping for breath as we wait to see if the intellectual genius of the group will finally reveal herself. Time will surely tell, dear listeners. So let’s raise a toast to muddy boots, atrocious riding and to knowing each other fully.

    Episode 70 - What a Curious Piece of News! [S3E5 Rewatch, Part 1]
    Jun 29 2025
    No furtive looks necessary, dearest listener. Our S3E5 Part 1 rewatch is not a thunderbolt from the sky. With a newly engaged Polin busy announcing their happy news, it seems we have much to catch up on indeed. We’re in high spirits, despite the one Bridgerton sibling who’s even less thrilled about it than Eloise. As word of the betrothal spreads through the ton, we’ll be shouting for all of Mayfair to hear as we fry fish with Anthony, take a morning stroll with Benedict and buffer up the bee on Colin’s belt. Is there more? Oh, so much more. After a showdown between Catherine the Great and the neighbour boy, we’ll be heading to an opera singer’s residence to pull down the dust sheets, lay out our furnishings and turn our two blue pools towards a conspicuously placed looking glass. Lie down, dearest listeners. There are other parts we’ve been dreaming about. And you should see them as well. *Show Notes: Crumbs IG: @BridgertonNetflix Season 4 end of production videoShondaland: Photos from the Season 4 Table ReadThe Hollywood Reporter: Interview with Jonathan BaileyWhat’s On Netflix: Bridgerton Adds 12 Supporting Cast MembersDeadline: 5 Songs with Bridgerton Music Supervisor Justin KampsDeadline: Adjoa Andoh at Italian Global Series FestivalCiak Magazine: Interview with Polly WalkerLoungefly: Bridgerton Mini Backpack*Show Notes: Rewatch Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library"Tick Tock."
