’You’re Not Allowed To Say The ’S’ Word - A Heartstopper Podcast’ is the small Pod which is big on heart and HUGE on Heartstopper! Host Luke Sibson is joined by the Yellow and Blue Crew - a wonderful group of young, and not quite as young, folks - as they rewatch every episode of the hit Netflix series ’Heartstopper’ and share their thoughts, feelings and their own Heartstopping experiences. Join them each week as they take a different episode of Heartstopper, analyse it, maybe sometimes have a little cry about it, and pick out favourite lines, top fashion picks and those moments that made our hearts flutter the most. Look out for bonus episodes with special guests and deeper discussions. Keep in touch on Insta to share your thoughts, ask questions or perhaps even guest on future episodes: @mr_s_teaches or @flx_wrestler

    This one may require an apology...   Against our better judgment, and all advice, we have decided to share with you some of the bits that we absolutely could not include in our discussions about series 2 of Heartstopper. Don't worry, there won't be any obscene or offensive language, but expect stumbles, fumbles, childish behaviour and A LOT of very heavy innuendo. We just hope that this doesn't alter your opinions of us and that you come back for more episodes of You're Not Allowed to Say the 'S' Word. Be warned, this is definitely a blooper collection for ages 15+.   If you feel the need to tell us off for our terrible behaviour, then you can do so on our Facebook group or on Insta: @aheartstopperpodcast
