This week we talk about what it means for love to really last. Every couple begins their marriage believing the best. We picture “for better” but rarely imagine “for worse.” Yet Scripture reminds us that real love is not built on chemistry or convenience. It is built on commitment.Every marriage goes through seasons. Spring brings excitement and growth. Summer is full of energy and busyness. Fall brings change and challenge. And winter can feel cold and quiet. But mature love learns to endure every season, trusting that God is still working when life looks barren.Message 711.16.2025

After a wild week in No.10 Downing Street, host Patrick Baker takes listeners on a podcast tour of the famous building to find out how the hell a cobbled-together Georgian townhouse is meant to run a modern state. Patrick asks how the rabbit warren layout influences those who govern the country, for better or worse. In one of his first interviews since stepping down, former Cabinet Secretary Simon Case opens up on how the building is less-than-ideal for the demands of modern government — with problems like losing the PM all-too-common. Case argues its layout contributed to the Partygate scandal that toppled Boris Johnson. The set designer of the film “Love Actually,” Jim Clay, recounts a tour given to him by Gordon Brown so he could memorise the layout  — and commentates on Hugh Grant as he boogies down the Grand Staircase.     Jack Brown, author of “The Power of Geography at No 10,” gives a step-by-step tour, taking us inside the pokey “Den,” the prime minister's office at the heart of Downing Street.  POLITICO Political Editor Dan Bloom explains why Keir Starmer prefers working in open-plan offices — and shares some secrets from rooms you've never heard of. Beatrice Timpson, former deputy press secretary to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, shares her sympathy for those in the policy unit, seen as banished to the rafters of Number 10. And she reveals the constant battle for phone signal that rages at the heart of British power.  John McTernan, who served as political secretary to Tony Blair, reveals stories from the Number 10 flat — and sets out what the current government must do to overcome the limitations of the building.

Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional. Healthy couples learn to fight fair by following the rules of engagement that keep love alive, even in tense moments.We talk about what research and Scripture agree on: how to start soft instead of sharp, how to calm down before anger takes over, and how to reach for repair instead of revenge. You will also learn why most marital conflict cannot be solved, but it can be managed with grace when you focus on the win that truly matters.The conversation then shifts to forgiveness, where every wrong creates a debt, and every heart must decide whether to hold on or release it. Forgiveness does not excuse sin; it releases control. Through Christ, every debt we owed was paid in full, and we are called to close the ledger and walk in freedom.Message 611.9.2025

So there's a young, handsome man who's suddenly all over our feeds. Some people say he's going to save America. Others say he's just a very good example of how charisma is the only thing that matters in a politician for the digital age. All we want to know about Zohran Mamdani is: What does he want from us? Also, Reese Witherspoon says the reason we're so bad at dating these days is because we're not watching rom-coms any more. Jessie, Amelia and Holly unpack some of the helpful dating tips they've got from rom-coms and ask: Were we really better at talking to each other in the Sweet Home Alabama era? And, 'smellmaxxing' and its unknowable limits. Now that your average 14-year-old boy has his own 'fragrance wardrobe' and we've all very much accepted that we stink, it was only a matter of time until there was a deodorant for everywhere, including 'down there'.

When you first fall in love, it feels like your brain lights up like a Christmas tree — dopamine, oxytocin, and butterflies in full swing. But when the chemicals fade and real life shows up, what's left?In this episode, we explore 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 and discover that love, actually, is more than a feeling. It's not dopamine, it's a decision. It's patient when things are slow, kind when life gets tense, humble when pride wants the last word, and forgiving when keeping score would be easier.Message 410.26.2025

It's just a film standing in front of two podcasters asking them to take it lovingly apart and put it back together better. Notting Hill Year: 1999 Written by: Richard Curtis Directed by: Roger Michell Stars: Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant Show notes: We really get into this one - and for ‘this one' read Richard Curtis films in general and their male leads in particular. 26 years after its release there is much that is good about this film and also much to fix. If you would like to skip the plot summary for this month's film you can spool forward about 12 minutes into the episode. In this episode we mention the films: Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109831/) About Time (2013) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2194499/) Love Actually (2003) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314331/) Going the Distance* (2010) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1322312/) Always Be My Maybe* (2019) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7374948/) The Idea of You* (2024) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9466114/) Pretty Woman (1990) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100405/) And the TV series: Black Books (2000-2004) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262150/) *Films marked with an asterisk have previously been featured on the podcast. Correction: We said in the last episode that Hitch might be the only rom com that centres the heterosexual man's experience. For whatever reason we forgot that Notting Hill also does this. As does Four Weddings And A Funeral. And other Richard Curtis films. If you are interested to read more about what has been called Boarding School Syndrome, Nick Duffell's book The Making of Them is a good primer. Chapter 8 can be found in its entirety on the boardingrecovery site here: https://boardingrecovery.com/docs/leaving-home.pdf.  Next month we are going to be talking about The Runaway Bride (1999) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163187/).  If you would like to suggest films for future episodes, you can tweet Lisa: @LisaStowaway.

Greg Alba, Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon react to and review the outrageous new spoof comedy The Naked Gun (2025), directed by Akiva Schaffer (Hot Rod, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers). This reboot of the classic parody franchise delivers slapstick chaos, absurd one-liners, and over-the-top set pieces that revive Lieutenant Frank Drebin for a new generation. Liam Neeson (Taken, Love Actually) steps into the deadpan role of Lt. Frank Drebin, bringing his action gravitas to the ridiculous detective hijinks. Pamela Anderson (Baywatch, Barb Wire) stars as the glamorous love interest, while the supporting cast includes Paul Walter Hauser (Black Bird, I, Tonya), Kevin Durand (The Strain, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), and CCH Pounder (Avatar, The Shield). Packed with slapstick gags, overblown set pieces, and celebrity cameos, the film spoofs crime thrillers, police procedurals, and even action blockbusters. Standout moments include Drebin bungling a hostage rescue, outrageous courtroom antics, and a side-splitting sports stadium finale that rivals the classic baseball sequence from the original. Join us as we break down the funniest scenes, the biggest surprises, and whether Schaffer's reboot successfully captures the spirit of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker original for today's audiences.

In Episode 135, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield dive into the surprising new coupling between fresh-faced actress Pamela Anderson and action star Liam Neeson.   The analysis begins with Liam's chart, revealing a quick-witted Gemini stellium opposed by a Sagittarius Full Moon—a configuration that points to strong ethics from his religious upbringing alongside a potentially unsettled emotional life. A Neptune sextile to his stellium makes him a perfect fit for romantic films like Love Actually, while a Pluto sextile brings the fierce, under-the-radar intensity required for roles like Taken.   Revisiting Pamela's chart (first broken down in Episode 9!), we find a chatterbox Gemini Rising and a Cancer Sun that explains her love of animals and home, though a square from Saturn suggests a late-bloomer energy. Her influential inner voice comes from a Mercury in Cancer contacting Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus, while a show-stopping Venus in Leo thrives on fame.    Together, their synastry is unexpectedly curious, both Suns aspected by Uranus encourage sudden growth and change, but also potential chaos. While Pamela's Virgo placements square Liam's Gemini placements, creating a "nun vs. trickster" dynamic, a supportive Venus sextile Sun and a fated boost to both their North Nodes suggest a profound connection. But can this fateful bond last? Tune in to hear the final Venus score for this unlikely new couple.   Book a Reading with us!

[School of Movies 2025] A major milestone in British cinema, pairing up dramatic director Mike Newell with comedy mainstay Richard Curtis. This one is easy to handwave off as fluffy and light, but it is a favourite of one of our psychology-specialising friends Doctor Hunter Mulcare, who joined us for Love Actually and specifically requested that when we covered this film, we have him on as a guest. The principle is simple, based on Curtis' own experience of attending dozens of weddings for various friends and acquaintances in a very short space of time, being propositioned by a mysterious lady whom he turned down... the afterimage of that road not taken stuck in his head, forming the anxiety of Hugh Grant's lead character, Charlie. And when it comes to this chap and his gaggle of unmarried friends one thing is certain regarding funerals and weddings... we may not get one, but we'll definitely get the other. This film is frank, hilarious, often painful and an accurately acerbic portrait of the British people. Certainly it struck home enough to make its budget back fifty times over, back in 1995. It remains special and a favourite of our too. Next week: We begin Marvel Season Guest: Dr Hunter Mulcare @realhuntermmm

Send us a textI've been thinking for a long time about the gendered sociocultural accusation of "too much" that's often directed towards women's behavior, especially how they love and connect to others, and how often this theme appears in romantic stories. This episode is the first in a little series I have planned, talking about female characters in romances who are shamed for being "too much," especially in costume dramas and 19th century romantic novel adaptations. Lena Dunham's fantastic new romantic comedy series is the perfect jumping off point to examine the power this accusation still has today. (I say fluffy about 29 times in this episode, but I won't apologize for being too much.)https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comNow this is a good trailer.
