    Happy anniversary, dearest listeners! Join us as we raise a catch and toast to Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1 and reminisce over twelve splendid months of flyaway balloons, scandalous journals and the most remarkable shade of blue. We'll be taking a celebratory carriage ride to the library to meet with a Regency king, a rugged pair of boots and a very tingly Lady Whistledown. And as Portia teaches a little lesson in self-love, we'll be lending Colin a hand in catching an authoress in an unexpected corner. With the champagne still flowing, we'll be moving the afterparty over to Bridgerton House for a chandelier rendezvous with Sibling Number Two and a rather enchanted Lady in Silver. And so, as we begin the next part of our journey, let us cheers once more to the match of the season, and the oldest of friends!*Show NotesTudum: Bridgerton renewed for Seasons 5 and 6Tudum: Sneak peak of Season 4 masquerade ballInstagram: @BridgertonNetflix Season 5 & 6 announcementWriters Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library: https://www.wgfoundation.org/"Out of the Shadows."

    Grab your Very Important Props and crunchiest snacks, dearest listeners! Join us as we step into the studio to meet the man behind the sound, Mitchell Kohen, to discuss his work as the ton's finest Foley Artist. We'll be learning how Mitchell made a splash in the industry, from his time curating airplane playlists, to working shifts at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and bowing before the Queen of Regency England.As Mitchell takes us on a tour of the Foley stage, we'll be living a day in the life of Bridgerton post-production, walking in the footsteps of the Diamond, playing skittles with Prudence and putting on our heels to dance the Quadrille six times over. We'll also be uncovering the secrets of Lady Whistledown's quill, an earthy afternoon tea and the great escape of a soon-to-be-monarch. What crucial role does a toy train play in the Polin love story? Why will we forever shudder at the thought of ravioli? And, most importantly, what does Francesca Bridgerton really think about SunChips?Turn up the volume and listen close: if there is one thing you should know by now, it is that this podcast cannot keep quiet for long. *Show NotesFollow Mitchell on Instagram: @soundslikemitchellFollow Mitchell on Reddit: u/soundslikemitchell*Show Notes: Crumbs Radio Times: Bridgerton casts Gracie McGonigal in Season 4 AlloCiné: Interview with Nicola CoughlanReddit: *Spoiler Alert* Rumoured casting for Season 4Reddit: Chris Fulton at Land ConYouTube: Trailer for Tudum 2025Shorty Awards: The Bridgerton Chaise speaks outGold Derby: Netflix put forward Bridgerton cast for Emmy considerationHarper's Bazaar: Nicola Coughlan honoured with Konbini Commitment Award at CanneseriesWhatsOnStage: Nicola Coughlan to star in ‘The Playboy of the Western World' at the National TheatrePlaybill: Hannah Dodd and Rob Madge join the London cast of ‘Cabaret'WhatsOnStage: Rob Madge's ‘My Son's A Queer (But What Can You Do?)' announces New York runWhatsOnStage: Kitty Devlin joins the cast of ‘The Show That Goes Wrong'Regent's Park Open Air Theatre: James Phoon joins ‘Shakespeare For Every Day of the Year: Live'UKTV: Release date announced for Bessie Carter's ‘Outrageous'*Follow UsPatreon Instagram⁠ ⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠YouTube

    Wait! Let us in, dearest listeners. We've reached the climax of our S3E4 rewatch and it is everything we have been wanting to say to you for weeks. As Pen's disastrous evening comes to a close, we'll be waving down her carriage, slipping down our sleeves and proofreading Colin's list of reasons as to why Lord Alfred Debling is just not right for his Pen. And while Colin lends his bestie a helping hand, we'll be solving the mystery of a missing cravat, placing an order with Gen for a very slippy dress and writing up the cleaning bill for two traumatised Featherington footmen. But let's not forget to stop at Bridgerton House first for we believe there is a question to be asked. What else could there possibly be left to say about these two old friends? So much more, listeners. So much more. Hit it, Archer: ♫ Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink.

    Dance cards at the ready, dear listener. This little love play is about to begin. As Colin arrives fashionably late to the Queen's Ball, we'll be chasséing our way past the Lord Squad and lurking behind broken columns for the next part of our S3E4 rewatch. After a danceus interruptus sends Debling's proposal plans waltzing out the window, we'll be battling it out with Eros and Psyche, not drinking lemonade with Miss Francesca and solving the mystery of the view across the square. Perhaps you should put your armour back on, Colin. It appears you and Miss Featherington have something to resolve. Do try not to injure yourself too badly, though. You'll be needing those hands for later. *Show Notes: Crumbs Entertainment Weekly: New stills from Bridgerton Season 4Reddit: Theory about Peneloise stillWhat's On Netflix: Tudum 2025 infoYahoo!

Join us as we embark on the first part of our S3E4 rewatch, where we'll be pulling out our Fuller Library cards to read up on the tragedy of a spinster, the fabled Northwest Passage and dropsy of a Featherington's pancreas. As Pen finds herself called upon by a very fine bird and a questionable potted plant, we'll be crunching on mille-feuilles with the Marquess, lumbering in the hallway with Colin and checking the Bridgerton armour for signs of rust. But let's not miss the fruits of our labours, dearest listeners. Penelope may be getting a rather quick proposal tonight, but we're not quite ready to close the book on one particular history of connection. Can't help but be drawn back into a story of love, Miss Featherington?

After spending the night in dreamland with Colin Bridgerton's roused subconscious, it's time to jump out of bed, refresh the sheets and begin Part 1 of our S3E3 rewatch. As Dream Polin consume our every thought, we'll be breakfasting with Benedict, falling off roofs with Greg and gulping down tea with a rather flustered thirdborn son. Once we've commiserated over a failed reconciliation, we'll be clearing our head with a promenade, glaring at mamas with Rae and diving under a willow tree to meet with a very good acquaintance of the family's. And if a time-travelling vegetarian decides to come a-courting? Worry not, dear Mr Bridgerton. We have it on very good authority that Prophet Hyacinth has already foretold your future: It is just Polin.

    Make-up brushes at the ready, Rae. We should like to try something a little different tonight. Join us as we welcome Erika Ökvist for a discussion of her exquisite work as Hair and Make Up Designer of Bridgerton Season 3. As Erika reveals her journey from aspiring princess to an Emmy award-winning designer, we'll be slipping on the banana peel of creativity to explore the importance of artistic experimentation, storytelling through details and why inspiration can be found in the most unlikely of places. Erika will be taking us through the day in the life of a busy Bridgerton set, tackling tattoos, heatwaves and the deadliest sin of them all: gossiping. Elsewhere, we'll be visiting Featherington House to discover the secrets of a Mayfair starlet and why true love really is the silk lining in our very own woollen coats.

Accompany us to Rotten Row for fresh air, a fluttering of fans and a little failed flirting as we begin our rewatch of S3E2 ‘How Bright the Moon.' As a brightly coloured bonnet and a fatalistic gust of wind conspire to forge this particular history of connection, we'll be reminiscing over mornings at the bordello, Sunday teas at Bridgerton House and a most remarkable shade of blue. So take a gulp of your emotional support lemonade and grab your playing cards – it's time for an eagerly awaited visit to the classrooms of Grosvenor Square. You wish for no more talk of books, Colin? We've heard through the grapevine that your star pupil is preparing her own seminar, ‘Romancing Professor Bridgerton,' and we'd bet anything she's going to get full marks. * Spoiler Warning 40:26-40:36 - Brief mention of a Season 4 filming leak * Show Notes   Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library "After the Rain."

    Dearest Polin rewatchers, we have been apart for far too long.  After four months, seventeen cities and zero letters from redheads with exquisite roobies, the tides of change have finally swept our sturdy pirate back to English shores. And it seems as though he's arrived with a new friend: the Emotional Support Curl.  As we swagger glove-first into the finest match of the year, we're raising our lemonades in honour of fashion icons past, cold shoulders and texts that really should've stayed in drafts. And thanks to Rae's side hustle of making a profit out of one man's desperation, we'll be returning to the scene of the Polin crime for an entirely platonic love confession, a titillating double handshake and the formation of a rather splendid plan.  Doomed to fail spectacularly? Surely not.
