Sorry for the delay but Happy Birthday Twice is back with a BUMPER long episode. This 2 hour special features my friend, Primary School teacher, and great scholar Mary Sorell. We discuss 'Clueless' and the book it was based on, Jane Austen's 'Emma'. It's a free form discussion, enjoy it all at once or in parts or however you goddamn please. And remember, 2020 is a virgin who can't drive.

The Bird Watching edition of Happy Birthday Twice is here! New ornithologist (bird watcher) Rob Stewart talks me through the pleasant and mindful joys of studying birds. Never bird watched before?

In this episode I talk to expert cricketer Kieran Colvin all about PARK GAMES. We do talk about cricket to begin with but then expand the conversation to all your favourite games to play in the park. Yes rounders DOES get featured, as does our wonderful sponsor SPIKEBALL. We also tackle the gnarly issue of park game haters, what to do about them, and how to begin a park game when you may not be a natural leader. Featuring listener questions and votes!

I am joined by Olga Koch and Izzy Bromfield for a 3 way discussion about Taylor Swift's recent SURPRISE album. In many ways the most ideal way to spend a Friday evening on this whole goddamn planet. Any creative contributions please send to happybirthdaytwice@yahoo.com x

We cycle across London visiting Pubs that have been suggested via instagram and twitter, talking about and ranking the pubs as we go! All the pubs are absolutely amazing in their own way, but who will be the Happy Birthday Twice PUB champion!? I am joined by manager of the Clerkenwell pub, The Sekforde, Harry Smith who serves up plenty of pub info! Thanks so much to anyone who suggested a pub and to anyone who SPONSORED a pint! We are so so so grateful. ENJOY with or without a pint! (For any ongoing creative contributions please email happybirthdaytwice@yahoo.com) xx

Welcome back! In this episode we talk The Social Network. I am joined by media mogul and also flatmate David Rose (also ft. Brad Sayers). We discuss Fincher, Sorkin, Mark, Facebook, Myspace and many more classic and crazy things. We also thrash out whether Tarantino was right to describe The Social Network as "hands down" the best film of the last decade. Also a reminder to send in any lockdown artwork to happybirthdaytwice@yahoo.com! (Brad thought of the title btw)

Hello and welcome back to Happy Birthday Twice! This is the exercise episode where I talk to great friend and personal trainer Lucy Zarza. I am a beginner and she is an expert! We use a lot of great audience polls and votes in this so thanks for the contributions. This is all about seeing exercise as something fun and helpful, (and dw I used to be a naysayer myself). I have started to really enjoy jogging in lockdown and want to dedicate this ep. to Ahmaud Arbery. Find out more about how he was shot by white supremacists while out on a jog at www.runwithmaud.com

"Take her to sea Mr Murdoch. Let's stretch her legs". In the first MAY episode I talk to comedian MAE Martin about the film Titanic. There's not much more to it than that. Pure and Simple, two fans of the best film of all time just sit and chat about it at length. We have answers to a variety of instagram polls on questions such as "would you have lit the extra boilers?", "Cal. yes or no? (to have sex with)" and many more. A lot of personal and, tbqh mindblowing, theories on the film are revealed too. We also delve into Leo's career and quote a lot of lines from the film. Mae has a sitcom out atm called Feel Good on Channel 4 (and US Netflix) which you should definitely check out. It's SO good. But ultimately this is simply a podcast about Titanic.

Welcome to our Fleabag episode! This is the second part of a Kesta two parter. We discuss the filmed play of Fleabag that has been uploaded to the Soho Theatre On Demand website.

Welcome to Happy Birthday Twice Episiode 5.5! I am joined by friend and great literary mind, Kesta Macgarrow. This was initially meant to be one episode in which we compared My Year of Rest and Relaxation with the Soho Theatre On Demand version of Fleabag. However, we ended up having quite an extended chat about the book, so gave it its own ep. Feel free to enjoy our chat if you haven't read it, but there are lots of spoilers for the book!!!
