The Fringe of It

#75 The Paddington Review, Festival Wristbands and The Joy of Looking Your Age

The Fringe of It

Show Notes

Cheese and wine nights? Jazz festivals? Yes, you did hear correctly! This episode comes to you following a week Nigella would be proud of. We know! Who ARE WE?! We have also rolled into the part of summer where Charlotte becomes a human buckaroo of accessories, and Liv reminisces over hair braid stories she’d sooner forget- oh summer, how we love thee!

Heavy breathing to one side (apologies, dear listeners), the girls are also back with the slowest culture reviews in the biz! Forever championing longevity of the arts (or so they’re calling it), hotly anticipated reviews of Paddington and… Wicked are IN. And with Charlotte having finally heard Defying Gravity for the first time- it poses the question, where is the best place for singing out loud?

From Vinted finds of the year and a chat about looking your age (which could have been another episode in itself)- no ground is left untouched! And, as always, we bloomin’ love receiving your wonderful emails, and if you have a snack suggestion or burning question for our new feature It’s Not For Us To Say (or just fancy sending us a delightful telly recipe too) you can pop them across to [email protected], and for courgette-to-Cawley themed carousels and VIDEOS (yes!!!) you can have a nosey on our IG too @fringeofit too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 There is still garlic bread chatter, Ready Brek recall (yes a break is needed) and some out of date Traitors chat to tide you over.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)!

Oct 6, 2026

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).

Sep 30, 2026

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!

Sep 22, 2026

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…
