Here in New Zealand, we’re smack bang in the middle of winter, but what better way to heat us up than a trip to Mallorca alongside a piping hot new Love Island cast? Love Island is all-consuming. When it’s airing it consumes our conversations at work, at home - it becomes our entire personality. And if we’re going to be talking about it anyway, we may as well broadcast it.  Every week we’re gonna bring you a debrief of what the crew’s been up to and unpack the inevitable gaslighting, misogyny and general shit chat that we know is gonna present itself to us throughout the series. It’s gonna be a ride and we want you on it with us.  And if you wanna watch along (which you totally should) you can do so on NEON, who are also making this whole podcast happen! Love that for us and love that for you!
