In the final instalment (for now) of this off shoot series
of the main show, Grainne and Chantal get to the heart of why love and politics
DO mix... at least in the case of Bill and Hilary Clinton, a power couple in
just about every sense of the word, despite a few ummmm challenges that is.
See you next week for The Way They Were Christmas special,
maybe it's time to look at the lasting love of Mr and Mrs Klaus?

In today's instalment of The Way They ARE, we are ALL amused at the right royal romance that was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, as it's often held aloft as the quintessential fairy tale love story.. but perhaps other motives were at work behind the scenes, and that one of the party weren't quite as on board with it as legend suggests?
This ep is an eyeopener in more ways than one...believe me....

In our next instalment of our mini-series, The Way They Are,
Chantal and Grainne explore the tempestuous - and ultimately tragic - love
story of JFK Junior and Carolyn Bessette, which was as overtly passionate,
as it was stylish. As we know the lives of this beautiful young couple
were cut way too short, so our hosts imagine what this romance could have been if it was allowed to run its full course.

Chantal is back in the chair for this episode of The Way They ARE - and what JOY she is spreading, as she presents to us the elusive, but very much celebrated and newish love that appears to have formed between two of showbiz's most loved stars ... Meryl Streep and Martin Short! Grainne nearly jumped out of her seat when the realisation hit that we would be revelling in this most well deserved happy endings, the likes of which most movies could only dream of!

In the second outing of the little cousin of The Way They Were - aka, The Way They ARE - it's Grainne's turn to present us with a couple, who despite all odds, managed to keep their wedding vows.
And in this case 'till death do us part' was probably the promise that saved them from the scandal of the divorce courts.
And in Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd's day, it was probably easier to suck it up and hope they didn't have to stay wed in the afterlife!

Well, it HAPPENED! As promised, Grainne and Chantal did what most of us can only dream of and enticed 'The One and Only' Mr Chesney Hawkes into a room so he could tell us which couple he hasn't gotten over breaking up; and what a wild ride the escapades of Sam Malone and Diane Chambers' romance was.... almost worthy of a storyline from a 1980s sitcom*.
Not only will you hear Chesney talk about his own romantic endeavours, but you'll also get to listen to some of the most dramatic - and electric - reenactments we've ever had on the show.
Thank you to everyone who made it down to see this, no doubt you're still reliving the incredible performances Chesney did of his new track 'Get A Hold of Yourself' and THAT song from the 1990s, but for those of you who couldn't join us, this episode is a gift for you to enjoy...*CHEERS!

It's finally arrived! Comedian Heidi Regan has given us all permission to wallow in the lost love of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams and once again lament the fact that no one but Rachel will be kissed they way Ryan kissed her at the VMAs... but unless it's Ryan doin the kissing, what's the point?
Theirs was a love straight out of a Hollywood film, going from hate to love - and in any good romcom, the director would have yelled 'cut' straight after that VMAs kiss and let them walk off into the sunset, but alas, they were in charge of their own destinies and theirs wasn't the fairytale ending of our dreams. So, what ultimately went wrong? Well Grainne and Chantal have all the answers...
Come and see TWTW LIVE at this year's Cheerful Earful festival in London on October 19th 2024! Full info and tickets can be found HERE! And a VERY special announcement as to who the guest will be is imminent, so stay tuned! See you there XX

This week's episode of TWTW is a 'voyage' into the swinging world of knitted sequin hats, platform silver boots and Eurovision.Yes, cabaret star Luke Merideth, really does a great job in knowing me, knowing you, and decided it was high time we took a deep dive into the torrid love story behind the stars of ABBA!
But, as we didn't have three hours to record, this time we focus on what went on between the one half which contained Agnetha and Bjorn. Did the winner take it all when this romance ultimately failed, or were our erstwhile couple glad that the other took a chance on love?
As always Grainne and Chantal are ready to divulge the details and lay all the love on us, so here we go...

Christmas has come early for Chantal, as we take a deep dive into the very couple she wanted more than ANYTHING to explore, and thanks to her her apparent soul mate, comedian and podcaster Zack Signore, she's able to rip the wrapping off the whirlwind 'romance' that was Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton's more than vile (geddit?) union.
Even ardent team Jen's listening to this will be running over to the dark side to embrace this match made in the underworld - the campaign for them to rekindle this epic love story starts now!

Today's offering of The Way They Were will have anyone with even a passing interest in the escapades of The G.C and Arg absolutely delighted, because thanks to comedian and podcaster, James Barr, that's the only way we're going with this ep! Yes, the Burton and Taylor of reality TV started their wild romance in the year of 2012, the Mayans were right to end their calendar then, as the next 10 years was truly the age of Essex. As always, Grainne has spent days in the archives in order to dig out the real story of this off and on again saga, allowing us to feel like we were at their first kiss thanks to dramatisations by Chantal and James.
AND, James comes up with possibly the best love match for patron saint Cher we've had yet..

In today's episode, we see that young love can be just as heartbreaking and nuanced as any adult relationship - especially if the people concerned have stayed at the age of eight for 35years... which is exactly the state of play for Lisa Simpson and her bad boy love interest Nelson Muntz.
Yes, that right, we're going all the way back to the golden year of 1996, when our saxophone playing precocious genius, Lisa had her head turned by the local tearaway, Nelson, and for that we have writer, comedian and internet sensation, Benedict Townsend to thank! Haaahaa!
According to the 'The Simpsons' Lisa and Nelson were never meant to be, but what happens to our star-crossed lovers beyond Springfield? Is there more than meets the eye to this story? Perhaps so, and there are dramatisations aplenty in this ep to illustrate what really happened in this sweet tale of first crushes...

In this week's episode of TWTW, we are transported back to the first decade of the new millennium, when the IT girl of the era hitched her wagon to the frontman de jour, and we were gifted with Alexa Chung and Alex Turner stepping out at Glasto and gracing the gossip pages.
Comedian Amy Matthews is to thank for finally allowing us a good old dissecting of this much lamented king and queen of indie culture, so get your ballet pumps and skinny jeans on, and we'll see you down at Bungalow 8.
