Show Notes
We told you we wouldn't be gone for long, didn't we! This week is a *very* special bonus episode with none other than podcaster, activist, mental health ambassador and writer Gemma Styles. With today being publication day of her debut book, Why Am I Like This? We pulled Gemma into our virtual living room and made sure we covered everything from coping with comparison and the spotlight effect, managing authenticity online, setting boundaries and why being a human is actually pretty hard (and joyful, and weird and wonderful- naturally, but CRIKEY it's tricky sometimes).
In a turn of events, we also enter what can only be described as our Stressful TV Era, Charlotte is caught off guard by the funeral in Four Weddings (...and a Funeral) and we discuss the best frozen sweet pastry out there (nope, t's not a croissant) and being new to Gru (we'll let you decide if that's cool or not)! If you’d like to make some unstressful TV suggestions (all about balance)- you can email us at [email protected]. We’re also over @thefingeofit and @charlottejacklin and @livpurvis and will see you very soon!
Gemma's brilliant book is available from today, and you can pick it up here! https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/why-am-i-like-this-gemma-styles/7665116

More from The Fringe of It
This week we come to you in the shape of a little podlet. Is that a thing? Let's make it a thing! Liv is on holiday, Charlotte is *sick* of talking about sausages and the girls' are having a one week R&R break. BUT! There is still garlic bread chatter, Ready Brek recall (yes a break is needed) and some out of date Traitors chat to tide you over.
Autumn is here! The porridge is on, Liv is cheerfully waving to everyone she passes and Charlotte has cut the ribbon on roast season! It's all go! Except there's trouble in paradise- despite some triumphant Yorkshire puddings Charlotte admits a gravy blindspot, and needs your tips! ASAP! (We're serious)!
It's a supermarket-delivery shaped start to this weeks podcast, and after a DMC (that's deep meaningful chat, to those unacquainted) about how they got their slots, the girls are OFF. But it's a pizza bombshell from Charlotte that stops Liv in her tracks- all before the biggest bombshell of all; Traitors chat is back (and Charlotte has the whole family watching).
It's a whole lot of food and films this week, as Charlotte goes on a culinary tour of Margate that Henry VIII himself would be proud of (remember: it's not the quantity it's the ORDER), and in a never heard of situation, Liv manages to stay awake for a whole... 3 films. In a week! Miracles can happen!
Wow oh wow, it’s been a big week. And if you thought that was counting a visit to Skegvegas, talk of smart speakers and Charlotte’s big delve into The Cottage Cheese Scene- we’re only just getting started. There’s talk of THE only radio station worth knowing (well, one of about three), some quite serious sausage chat #EverySausageHasAStory (if last year was Charlotte’s bonnet year, every year is her sausage one) and how on earth Liv ended up at Jarvis Cocker’s birthday party on Friday night…
