I'm your host Paul Marden, and with my co-host Andy Povey and roving reporter Claire Furnival, we're here at IAAPA Expo Europe. In today's episode, I go on a trip on Santa's Enchanted Elevator with the Seasonal Group, and Claire meets Peter Cliff from Conductr. But before all that, let's head over to Andy.Andy Povey: Good morning, everybody. I'm joined today by Jerome Giacomoni from AEROPHILE for our French listeners. I hope I've got that right. Jerome is the chief exec of AEROPHILE and has been the co-founder and president of AEROPHILE. And AEROPHILE supply helium-based balloon observation opportunities. I probably got the marketing on that completely wrong, Jerome. So please, can you share with our listeners what AEROPHILE is all about?Jerome Giacomoni: So AEROPHILE is a company I created with Mathieu Gobbi, my partner, 32 years ago, with a very simple idea, make everybody fly, you know, and we use a balloon to fly. So we have a tethered balloon. We have a huge, big balloon inflated with helium, a gas lighter than air. And we go up to more or less 150 meters high. up to 30 passengers. So we are linked to the ground with a cable, and the cable is linked to a winch. So you have to imagine that you have a winch that— when we go up—pulls when we go down. This is the exact opposite of an elevator because the balloon wants to go higher and higher. We have a lifting force of four tons.Andy Povey:Wow.Jerome Giacomoni:Yes, it's a big one. And so we need a cable to keep it. And thanks to this lifting force, we can fight against the wind.Jerome Giacomoni: And so the balloon can swing when you have some wind because the balloon is just pulled by the cable itself.Andy Povey: And trust me, listeners, they look absolutely spectacular. Just before we started recording, I was admitting to Jerome that I'm scared of heights. So I've stood and watched. The dining balloon, Futuroscope, never managed to pluck up the courage to try it myself.Jerome Giacomoni: This is another concept, Andy. So we have built two concepts. One is a tethered balloon, a real one with helium, with a cable, with a winch, and we fly by ourselves. The balloon flies by itself, okay? We did another concept 20 years after we created our company, so 10 years before now, in 2013, which is what we call the aero bar. It's a flying bar, and you have an inflatable balloon. to cover the gondola, but it's a fake. This is a real elevator, and you have a gondola with some winches and a metallic structure, and you go up and down. So what you saw in Futuroscope is not a balloon. It's a real elevator.Jerome Giacomoni: And the one you can see in Disneyland Paris, Disney World, Orlando or San Diego Zoo are a real balloon named a tethered balloon. So I'm glad you fell down into the trick. You caught me. Yes, I'm glad about that. But we have really two different concepts.Andy Povey: But the concept, the thing that the guest is experiencing, isn't really related to whether it's a balloon or a lift.Jerome Giacomoni: No. i think it's very different okay i think the aerobar is fun and you have the feet in the sky you feel the thrill of height and everything but you stop at 35 meters it's it's quite high for a ride but it's not a real flight And I think the balloon is a real flight. We have a balloon in Paris. We have a balloon in Budapest, Berlin. And you see the city from the sky at 150 meters high, which is very high. So you really experience a flight. With the aerobar, you have a ride, okay? So both of them are related to the sky, are related to the view, but one is really a flight, the other one is really a ride.Andy Povey: That makes absolute sense.Andy Povey: It doesn't reassure me on my fear of heights anymore, that I would like to go up three times, four times taller, higher than the one I saw first. Very interesting. So, listeners, we're often talking about technology and attractions. There's a huge amount of talk about augmented reality, about AI, about motion simulators. The reason, Jerome, we asked you to come and talk to us is because you don't do any of that. No—your experience is fantastic and it's new and it's unique, but there's no technology or very little obvious technology.Jerome Giacomoni: Yes, quite little. You know, it's amazing because we do this for now 32 years, as I told you. The first balloon was inflated in 1994. We have sold 120 balloons in more than 40 countries. And each time with the balloon, you have a magical effect, you know, because the balloon itself is very nice— because the balloon itself is a show from people looking at it from the ground. And because... The flight experience is amazing because you are really in the sky. You are really looking at the ground, at the landscape. You have no noise, you know, when you take a helicopter or plane. You have a lot of noise. You are in an enclosed airplane or helicopter. Here you are outside. You are on a balcony flying at 150 meters. And wherever we are, always we have like a magical effect of the flight. And with the flying bar, we decided to do something different— where we say, 'Why drink on ground where you can drink in the sky?'Jerome Giacomoni: So we add the drink to the ride, you know. So you are on a table and you have what we say in French conviviality. So we share a drink. We go at 35 meters and you have the thrill of the view of the height and also the conviviality of drinking. So this is another concept, but both of them are universal. And wherever we do it, we have sold 20 aero bars worldwide.Jerome Giacomoni: Everybody is very happy to have this kind of ride. I would say we are on the side of the main market. You know, we have two niche products. The balloon is a niche product. And the AeroBar is a niche product where we have another experience than a normal ride, like a roller coaster or a flume or a spinning coaster.Andy Povey: You say you're a nice product, but the balloon in Paris for the Olympics, where you lifted the cauldron, had phenomenal numbers of visitors watching. That wasn't something you could go on.Jerome Giacomoni: Yes, it was an amazing opportunity. You know, sometimes life gives you some presents.Jerome Giacomoni: And imagine that we were contacted by the Olympic Organisation Committee one day, and we believed it was a joke. And they said, 'We need to talk to you.' And then we discovered that instead of flying humans, they asked us to fly a cauldron. So the Olympic cauldron. And we have like one year and a half of design and manufacturing.Jerome Giacomoni: And then, at 11 pm, 25, the balloon has to fly in front of everybody. I can tell you it was a very stressful time. But so nice and so amazing to have experiences. So, yes, the balloon suddenly was visible by everybody. And that's back now in Paris, isn't it? Yes. First of all, the balloon has to stay only twice— 15 days. You know, you have the Olympics and the Paralympics. So we were open only 30 days in total. And the success was so huge that every night, you have dozens of thousands of people coming to look at it. That's why the mayor of Paris and the French president decided to keep it.Jerome Giacomoni: And just after the deflation of the balloon, they call us back and say, 'Jerome and Mathieu, we would like to have the balloon back.' So we work again with the city of Paris and the French presidency, and we agreed to put the balloon.Jerome Giacomoni: Three times, three months. So from June 21st, in France, this is a music event, you know, the Day of Music. To September 14th, which is a day of sport. So every year until the Olympic game of LA, we will operate the balloon for three months in the summertime. Fantastic.Andy Povey: So, Jerome, you operate in lots and lots of different countries all over the world. I think it's 14 countries that you've been.Jerome Giacomoni: No, we sold, but we operate only in the US and in France.Andy Povey: Ah, okay. Interesting.Jerome Giacomoni: We own ourselves, we operate ourselves, six balloons in the 120 we have sold. So we operate three in Paris region. One, the Parc André Citroën, where we have the Generali balloon since 1999. One in Disneyland Paris since 2005. So we are in Disneyland Paris for now 20 years. Time is flying. And the last one, the Cold Run, which is a very specific event that we operate now for one year and for the next two years. And in the US, we operate Disney World Orlando in Disney Spring since 2009, and San Diego Zoo Safari Park since 2005, and Irvine. South of LA since 2007. So we operate now six balloons for a long, long time, except the cold run. And we keep selling balloons.Jerome Giacomoni: We sell more or less five to six balloons every year.Andy Povey: And how do you find the differences between the French culture and you're on either side of America, so the differences between the different coasts of America and France?Jerome Giacomoni: Yes, we... We are in the US, but we are also in Mexico, in a lot of countries in Asia. In the Middle East, we have a beautiful balloon in Dubai. We have a beautiful balloon in Seoul. So we work a lot with very different cultures. You know, it's very interesting to sell the same product to different cultures. So I would say... The main difference probably lies in the contract. It's very funny when you make the contract. I would say a 'yes' is not the same 'yes' depending on the culture. But everybody is, you know, you... You love people when you work worldwide. You learn a lot, you discover a lot. You have to learn with different cultures. And I have the chance in my professional life to experience that and to meet people from all over the world. And, you know, my job is to go on site, and discuss with someone, and see if it's possible or not to have a balloon at this place.Jerome Giacomoni: So it's always a beautiful job because I travel in a lot of countries in beautiful spots.Jerome Giacomoni: We don't succeed a lot because, if not, I would have sold thousands of balloons. We have always constraints with local authority, with food traffic, etc. But always, it's a pleasure to meet people. And once... The balloon is accepted by the local authority when the customer has a finance for it. Then start more or less a one-year work together between installation, work on site, inflation, and training of the team. And after... They fly with their own wings, even if we have no wings with our balloons.Andy Povey: Very good. And I imagine that you don't put balloons into ugly places.Jerome Giacomoni: We did, sometimes for specific contracts. Ugly, I won't use this name, but not very obvious, logical site. But it has happened. Sometimes we do for small events or for specific needs.Jerome Giacomoni: But yes, most of the time, the sites are very interesting.Andy Povey: So there are other things you're doing with the balloons. So the air quality messaging that you have above Paris. Tell us more about your opportunities to influence in other areas.Jerome Giacomoni: Yes, you know, the balloon is not only a ride, a passenger ride, but it's also an amazing opportunity for communication and for advertisement. So in the city center, like Paris, Berlin, or Seoul, the balloon is used also as a giant advertising billboard. So you have two revenues. You have the revenue of the passenger, but you have also the sponsor revenue.Jerome Giacomoni: When we started the balloon in Paris, it was extremely difficult to get the authorisation to have a balloon in Paris centre. We are two kilometres south of the Eiffel Tower. But you remember, we had the famous Millennium, the Y2K. uh and and so the mayor faris was looking for a new idea and we propose a balloon And they gave us only a one year and a half contract. And the investment was quite huge. And we told him, OK, we can do it, but we cannot do it for only one year and a half. Except if you accept that we have a name on the balloon, a naming and a sponsor on the balloon. And the mayor say yes. And we start another business where we put sponsor on the balloon. And this is a very good business because it makes a... activity immediately profitable so we did that in Paris in 1999 and in 2008 the balloon was like 10 years old because when you fly you have your the balloon is huge we talk about a 32 meters high balloon we talk about like a 12-story building.Jerome Giacomoni: So everybody knows the balloon in Paris. Everybody can see it. And so, when we fly, we have 400,000 people who immediately see us. So we decided to give citizen aspect. And we start— pour changer le couleur de la balle selon la qualité de l'air. C'était en 2008. Et parce que nous l'avons fait, nous avons des scientifiques... coming to us and say, 'Hey, this balloon is a wonderful platform to measure air quality because you make like a carrot of the air from zero to 150 meters. Jerome Giacomoni:  Can we bring some scientist instrument on the gondola? And we say yes. And then we start to make science. And then we start to make scientific publications, scientific publications. And then we start a new business where the balloon is not only a tethered gas balloon for passenger, it's only... advertising billboard and now it's only a scientific platform and so this is very interesting and the last things we have done in 2024 no this year in 2025 is to use the balloon for global climate change. As you know, we have two main gas pollutants for the climate change, CO2 and CH4. And the balloon is a perfect platform to measure evolution on CO2 and CH4. So we are working with a European group named ICOS. gathering all the best laboratories in Europe, who are making a huge study on how CO2 and CH4 how they are in each city.Jerome Giacomoni: And Paris has been chosen as a pilot city. So we are very glad to work with them. And so now the Balloon is also working on climate change. And we will have big, big, big LED screen. So we make some technology sometime, as you said, to inform people on the temperature elevation in Europe and in the world. And the news are very bad, as everybody knows.Andy Povey: But that's fascinating. I love the integration you've been able to take from this unique proposition and apply it to different markets, different problems.Jerome Giacomoni: You know, Andy, I think we have to exit from the box. My message to... all people who are listening to us.Jerome Giacomoni: Okay, passenger rides is very important. It's a key market for many of us. But sometimes we can use... another way to find new flow of revenue, like advertising, and we can be also helpful to our other citizens, like working freely for scientists to make measurements on pollutants of the air. This helps with both air quality and also climate change.Andy Povey: It's a beautiful concept, Jerome. I love it. Love it.Andy Povey: So, final question. Your experiences are obviously very unique. What advice would you have for a venue and possibly a smaller venue that doesn't have the resources to be able to build something 150 metres high or put something 150 metres into the air? What advice would you give them on how to make a compelling experience for visitors?Jerome Giacomoni: I really believe that you have to stick on your roots, okay? I mean that people want authenticity.Jerome Giacomoni: And as you know, we are very keen on balloons, as you can imagine. So we make in our, you know, Paris, it's in Paris where you have the first flight. Yeah. In 1783. Montgolfier, brothers. Yes, with the Montgolfier brothers, with Charles, the scientist. So we really stick on our roots. And I think where you are in Brittany, where you are in Japan, you have to follow your own road and your own path. By feeling what could be the good idea, but also what is your feeling inside you. You need to have something different that you feel very confident with.Andy Povey: Beautiful final thought, Jerome, I like it a lot. So listeners, stay authentic and be passionate.Jerome Giacomoni: Exactly, the right word is passionate.Paul Marden: Next up, let's get some soundbites from the show floor.Rheanna  Sorby: My name's Rheanna. I'm Marketing and Creative Director for the Seasonal Group. We are curators of Christmas magic all year round. Wow, wow.Paul Marden: So you make Christmas special?Rheanna  Sorby: We're the Christmas elves.Paul Marden: Awesome, awesome. I can see you've got such a great set of stands. What have you got here that you're exhibiting for the first time?Rheanna  Sorby: We have Santa's Enchanted Express, which is a three-minute experience that transports customers and guests from a very festive train station to the North Pole in just under three minutes. So it's quite a Christmas miracle. And it also transports on nine pallets. So it's a great return on investment for customers there if it's 24 people on. We also have our elevator experience, which went viral last year. And then we have VR, animatronics, and a lot of our famous items, like the snowman here, just dressed as a little, it's some sort of operator.Paul Marden: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. So we don't have a lot of luck with lifts at the moment because the team got stuck in a lift yesterday for about 45 minutes. Stop it. We got rescued by the... Well, I didn't get in the lift. I walked because there wasn't enough room. But two of them had to be rescued by the fire brigadeRheanna  Sorby: Okay, so this might be triggering. Well, you know.Paul Marden: Oh, no, I found it hilarious.Paul Marden: I was hugely supportive on the outside, yelling into them.Paul Marden: But Santa won't let me get stuck in a lift today, will he? Absolutely not.Rheanna  Sorby: No, there's an emergency exit. Excellent.Paul Marden: So what's new and innovative then about the Santa Express? What are you bringing to market?Rheanna  Sorby: So a lot of our clients, we sell business to business. They're struggling to get people into shopping centres and we're finding that we need to create retail theatre. So that is something I see as a massive trend moving forward. People want nostalgia. They want an experience, something memorable. But also our customers need a way to return investment as well. So they hopefully will spend something with us and then ticket the experience. So that's something that we're pivoting our business towards. Trying to create a brand new experience every year. A lot of people are struggling nowadays, cost of living.Paul Marden: Yeah, absolutely.Rheanna  Sorby: It's difficult, so we're trying to find a way that brings the Christmas magic to people's doors.Paul Marden: We are, where are we at the moment? We're in September, so we've still got a couple of months left before Christmas 2025, but that must be over for you.Rheanna  Sorby: No, the quality of the street is on the shelves. It's already happening. The install season starts literally on Monday for us. Really? Yes. When we get back, we land and then we start installing.Paul Marden: And so this is the busy time. So let's talk about Christmas 2026. What are the trends that you see coming along at that point?Rheanna  Sorby: Whimsical, whimsical. So we've got Wicked number two coming out. And we've also had all like the Whoville, that sort of style, the Grinch. So imagine pastels, furry trees, things that don't quite make sense, a lot of whimsical wonderland, I would say, trend-wise. But equally immersive experiences and how we can bring magic to you.Paul Marden: Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you ever so much. Rheanna, it's been lovely to meet you. Thank you for coming on the podcast. And let's go and visit Santa in his lift, shall we? Yeah, excellent.Paul Marden: And here it is. So we are surrounded by suites in an old-fashioned lift. And there's our doors closed.Paul Marden: Oh, how amazing is this? We're going up.Paul Marden: Ice like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Great Glass Elevator. This is amazing. We're up over the clouds. Just stunning. There's a train there. I think we're going to follow into the tunnel after the train. Yes.Paul Marden: Got cold, now we're underground. Now we're in the tunnel.Paul Marden: And I think this might be Santa's factory.Paul Marden: Let's get ready.Paul Marden: Merry Christmas. The big man's chair as well. Can I take a seat in the big man's chair? Ho, ho, ho.Sohret Pakis: Hi, Paul. My name is Shorhet Pakis. I'm the brand ambassador for Polin Waterparks.Paul Marden: What are you launching this year at IAAPA? What's new for you?Sohret Pakis:Last year, we have won two big awards for a themed water slide, which is... Stingray it was in Nantes in France and it was something big because you know it was like Europeans best water slide number one and I have a brass ring award winner about two million number one but last night in Porta Ventura Stingray has won the second time best water slide of Europe award. But we have something new about it. Last year when I was telling about Stingray, it was an eight-person slide. This year we have something new. Now the capacity went up to 10, especially when we're talking about all these queue management issues. So that's something wonderful. And also, you ask, what is new? This year, we have something very exciting. A parrot-themed stingray. It's the same slide, but it's parrot-themed.Sohret Pakis: It's coming to Dubai by January. It's going to be open.Paul Marden: So can I ask you, what makes that innovative? What's new about that?Sohret Pakis: Actually, it's a very specifically themed waterslide. You know that POLIN has been pioneer in RTM manufacturing and U-texture. It's kind of a composite material technology which we can make waterslides look.  Look like a character, actually. We are the company who did this first because we said that storytelling is very important. Yes, but you know, slides are just slides. So we just wanted the slides look like the characters in that story. Of course, behind that, there is huge material technology, composites technology, design technologies. Actually, that's the time when we introduced King Cobra years ago. And now with Stingray, we took it much further. So actually, the team looks perfectly like a Stingray, but at the same time, it's a water slide with so many features. It has two big towers and between the towers, there's a bridge. From each tower, two slides start with a very special mist roofing and very special bridge where you can just see what's happening all over the slide.Paul Marden: So the queuing experience is enriched so it doesn't feel quite so long and boring because you can watch what everyone is doing.Sohret Pakis: It is, yes.Paul Marden: Super impressive. So we have been asking everybody to think about what are their predictions for 2026?Sohret Pakis: Everybody is talking about AI. Everybody is talking about immersive. So AI, of course, will make a huge difference in operation, especially.Paul Marden: In what way?Sohret Pakis: Actually, in guest satisfaction, because personalisation is very important in our industry. Whoever comes to the park, they are the heroes at the park. And so actually, if the park can make them feel that they are the heroes, truly— if that's their birthday, if that's their wedding anniversary, so whatever. If the park can make you feel that you're special, and thanks to technology, now it's possible.Paul Marden: Absolutely. That's so interesting. Thank you so much for your insights and for joining us on Skip the Queue. Thank you.Thomas Collin: I'm Thomas, I'm from VEX Solutions, so we are a VR company at the start, and now we're going to the arcade with mixed reality as well. Okay, so that's a nice link. What are you launching here at IAFA? So here for the first time we are introducing VEX Party Dash. The Party Dash is a mixed reality arcade machine. So automated, people can go on it, play on it. You have two huge screens that are really highly interactive. You can walk on the screen, you can touch the screen. The goal is really to make you moving. So that's what we want to do with the Dash.Paul Marden: That's amazing, isn't it? So we're watching people at the moment. You can see lights up on the floor that they're stepping on and on the wall.Thomas Collin: What is really the key aspect of this product is that it's highly attractive. People, they just go around, they stop by it, they want to try it. Actually, we can say, 'Hey, come and try it,' because we watch you, we see you. So we can say, 'Hey, come and try it.' And people stop by, they play it. It's highly immersive, but also highly active. Yes. You're just not standing on an arcade, sitting down. No, you're really moving around. So, this is really good for kids and families. Absolutely. That's what we see.Paul Marden: So, where do you see this being used? What sort of attractions will take this?Thomas Collin: Actually, with this product, it can go either in the attraction side or either at the arcade side. So, you can play it as one game, and you can play a three-minute game like an arcade, or you can actually book for 15 minutes. Since there is not a single game, but multiple games, you can play different games, you can play different levels inside the main gate. So you have a high replayability. Because we want you to come back, we want to attract the gamers, and then make them come back.Paul Marden: 15 minutes with this much activity sounds like quite a tall order. It's a workout.Thomas Collin: It's a workout. It's a workout. Yeah, yeah, yeah.Peter Cliff: Hi, my name is Pete Cliff. I'm from Conductr. We're here in Barcelona and it's so exciting to be back at IAAPA. Now, what we're super excited about this year is talking about our collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Lines on Great Stirrup Cay. It's their new water park. It's a great project. We're excited to talk to people about it. It's also lovely to be back in Barcelona. It's been, I think, about six years since we were last back here, and it's always one of my favourite European cities for IAPA. It's great to meet with people from the industry, reconnect with old colleagues and friends, and really see what's happening. There's a huge amount of innovation and special projects that are launching all over the show floor. So yeah, great to be back, and can't wait to see what the future of the themed entertainment industry has to offer.Laura Baxter: My name is Laura Baxter. You may know me as the girl with the purple jumpsuit on LinkedIn. I am the head of marketing for Black Gang Shine, but have most recently just announced that I've gone into freelancing and I've launched your CMO.Paul Marden: And I have to say, the jumpsuits work because I was about 50 metres behind you earlier on and I spotted the Your CMO logo on the back of the jumpsuit, so well done for that. We've talked to a lot of suppliers with stands that are exhibiting. From your perspective, this is your first time stepping over to the dark side and coming to an IAPA. What's the experience like for you? What are you here to get out of the show?Laura Baxter: I'd say it's twofold. Mainly it is for networking. Obviously anybody who's anyone in the industry is here. But also, it's inspiration because I want to be able to talk about new and exciting stuff with... Potential clients that I may have and ideas still for Black Gang as well. So, when you walk around show floor, which is just so vibrant and there's so much going on everywhere—you turn, you can draw inspiration from so many of the suppliers here.Paul Marden: What have you seen that's innovative?Laura Baxter: There's a huge amount of stuff being done with tech and it's very interesting because I think that's where a lot of people are going to think that they need to go, because that's the way of the world now, and the next generation don't know life off of a screen and they're expecting to have these incredible digital experiences.Laura Baxter: I'm not convinced that is the way to go. But yes, it's still impressive tech. So for me, there are things that I stand back out and look at and I'm like, 'Whoa, that's really, really cool.'Laura Baxter: I'm not so sure it's potentially what consumers want, though, controversially.Paul Marden: It's really hard, isn't it? Because as a parent of young kids, you want them off the tech as much as you possibly can. But you need a hook. To be able to attract them, don't you? So there's been some amazing stuff here that bridges that gap between the real world and the tech world. So, summer season 2025 is over. What are your predictions about summer 26 and what operators should be thinking about right now?Laura Baxter: It's a really tough market, we all know that. Budgets are tight for households, so there is an awful lot more thought going into their spending and what they're doing and where they're choosing to take that little bit of disposable money that they do have. Therefore actually I don't think next year operators should be thinking about huge innovations or new attractions. I think they need to strip back to basics and nail their customer service. I think guest expectations now are so high. because they're parting with money that is a little bit more precious to them than perhaps if they don't leave at the end of that day having had a good experience they feel ripped off they're going to go straight to review platforms they're going to let it all out and actually you need to be focusing on making sure that every single touch point with that customer is bang on and we're talking pre-visit as well from the your website journey to buying it to the follow-up emails to the pre-visit emails to that first person they meet on front of house to the ride operators to the events team if you have that kind of entertainment on park if you are not nailing your experienceLaura Baxter: You are going to lose out well.Paul Marden: I think we should end it right there. That there is a nugget of gold.Paul Marden: So I am here with co-host Andy Povey and our good friend Josh Haywood from Crealy down in Devon.Josh Haywood: Hello.Paul Marden: It's the end of day two. What have you seen, Josh? What's blown your socks off?Josh Haywood: Good couple of days so far. We're probably into 40,000 steps, which is great. I think technology is the thing that struck me this week so far. Just the small changes that some of the operators and some of the manufacturers are putting into their existing kits. So, for example, I attended a seminar this morning about bowling. and normally temping bowling is temping bowling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But now there's augmented reality, and they've got features on the lanes, and it's not about just taking all the pins down, it's taking pin one and six out, and all those things they're trying to do to reinvent older, more traditional attractions, which I think I find really interesting. Yeah. I think some of the seasonality stuff, the Christmas and Halloween stuff has been really good. We sat on a train and went on a journey and the seats rumbled and the sound and the visual effects, they were great.Paul Marden: I saw that. There was no room for me to go and sit on that train. It was amazing.Josh Haywood: I thought that was really good. And, you know, I've been really impressed with generally the show. I think you can get around it all as well. It feels really friendly. I think the sun shining always helps as well. It's not too tough, is it?Paul Marden: I mean, the last time we were in Barcelona, we were all wearing face masks. Absolutely, yes. So it's really refreshing to be back here. And not have that.Josh Haywood: Absolutely. And not have to queue to get in as well. I think that was interesting on the first day.Paul Marden: Oh, did they see you and then just wave you through?Josh Haywood: Red carpet was up for, of course, award-winning theme park and resort. Paul Marden: Mr. Hayward. Did you say award? Winnie and obviously you're on the back of your two awards in the theme park awards last week. How was that? And then we've got some really exciting news from Creeley.Josh Haywood: I saw it at the press this morning. Yes, so a couple of things happened last week. So first of all, we had our anniversary 25 years of Maximus the Coaster. The Vekoma Coaster, 25 years. The first coaster in Devon. It was Devon's first coaster, over half a million riders later. It's done 2 million miles around the track. It's great. So we did a sort of event for that, and we used it to sort of make some announcements about future attractions, which I'll tell you about in a minute. But then we went to the Theme Park Awards last week at Wickste Park, where... We've been the recipients of a few bronze and silvers, and we go being little old us and hope for the best. And then the award I really wanted to win was one of two: the best for families and the best for value. And when the family award came up, they said, 'In bronze is such and such, in silver.' And I was like, 'Well, there you go.' That's all that's left for another year. And then when they said the win at gold was cruelly for best for families, we were delighted. I got a bit emotional about it. I think we would just work so hard over the years to be the best in the Southwest, certainly. And certainly since we put Sootyland in as well. We won the award for Toddlers.Josh Haywood: So it was a double wham. And within 10 minutes as well. It wasn't separated. Within 10 minutes, I just got my breath back from the first one. And then we were up on stage again taking that second award. Oh, it's tough, isn't it? Which was great, yeah. Multi-award winning. Multi-award winning theme parking resort. Devon's finest. Most right in Devon. We're just going to... absolutely bleep the hell out of this for the next 12 months because who knows we may not win it again so we'll just shout from the treetops about this and then we also won thanks to martin rose and rose events uh silver for best entertainment event for the city show It's still very popular, the legacy brand. People love the Sooty show. And as I said at the awards, we sell loads of those puppets. People love a Sooty and a Sweep. So it's been a really good collaboration for us.Paul Marden: We were at our first away day for our Merak team back a few months ago down at Creeley, and I found a little sooty puppet underneath the lectern. I was absolutely chuffed to bits. And there he was, just sitting at the front of the away day, watching everything going on with Sue next to him.Josh Haywood: He's still popular. We understood when we put Cityland in, it wasn't going to be Peppa Pig. world and we didn't think for a minute we'd even sort of get to those heights of Thomas Land at Drayton Manor but it certainly hit a chord with the older market certainly the nannies and the granddads who remember such from when they were kids and you know it's a legacy brand and it works but what we have done really well is sort of corner that market for younger children and toddlers and we Sort of took some comments over the last 12 to 18 months that we may be missing the mark when it comes to the 8 to 12-year-olds, which we were pretty good at five or six years ago. So we've decided this year that we're going to invest in some thrill attractions. So we've just launched news that we've got two new rides going in next year. One, I can't tell you exactly because we're still going under. Got some planning issues, but we're going to have the Southwest tallest ride and the Southwest first inverted ride. So a multi-million pound investment going in and hopefully that will give us another boost that we need to kick on again. We've still got new accommodation going in. We'll still be doing new events and shows for next year.Josh Haywood: So it's going to be a bumper year for Crealy. Absolutely.  I really look forward to that.Paul Marden: I look forward to you being on the launch ride.Paul Marden: Me down on the ground watching and videoing.Josh Haywood: What they have said, which is really interesting, we spoke to an operator, there's only one other ride like it in the UK, and that operator said, whatever you do, make sure when you put the ride in, you fit a hose pipe and a tap right in. Because you may be washing the seats down more than you would usually on your current ride. So, yeah, it certainly will add that next level of ride experience to our family market.Paul Marden: Yeah, I think that's super important, isn't it? Mr. Povey, what have you seen today that has blown your socks off?Andy Povey: I'm really looking for the place to go and get some more soft, comfortable socks. I've walked so much. I've stood around and listened to so many fantastic talks, had so many brilliant conversations. I'm done. My feet hurt. I need to sit down and have a beer.Paul Marden: Well, I hate to break it to you, but there's another day left. And there's still more interviews to do. Still more opportunities for us to get some interesting stories on Skip the Queue.Andy Povey: Look forward to that.Paul Marden: Gentlemen, I think we're about done. So thank you ever so much. It has been a joy. And Mr. Povey, see you back here tomorrow. Josh, wonderful as always.Josh Haywood: Maybe see you at OrlandoPaul Marden: Oh. Absolutely, yeah.Josh Haywood: We'll do it againPaul Marden: Thanks for listening to today's episode. If you liked it, leave a comment in Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Dearest Gentle Listeners,Now that we have covered the Mirror Scene comparison to Penelope and Colin's first time in the book, it is time to discuss the sweet, sultry and realistic first time between our favourite couple.Yours Truly,The Ladies Bridgerton

Wie schlägt sich ein afghanischer Geflüchteter in der Provinz durch? Und kann die Liebesgeschichte zwischen ihm und einer 20 Jahre älteren Polin eine Zukunft haben? Nava Ebrahimi erzählt in ihrem Roman „Und Federn überall“ vom migrantischem Leben in der deutschen Provinz – und von einer polnischen Stadt, die von 1945 bis 1948 mitten im Emsland lag und Maczków hieß. Gerrit Bartels hat den Roman für uns gelesen.

„Heute Morgen um 5.40 Uhr – genau vor 86 Jahren – überschritten deutsche Truppen die Grenze zu Polen. ‚Jetzt also Krieg!‘ – so verkündete der polnische Rundfunk der Welt. Die Folgen waren verheerend: Der brutalste Krieg der Weltgeschichte, der Holocaust, Jahre totalitärer Herrschaft und rund 60 Millionen Tote – darunter über fünf Millionen polnische Staatsbürger, etwa drei Millionen davon polnische Juden. Für Polen bedeutete das fünf Jahre unter brutalster Unterdrückung. Und doch: Trotz all dieser Schrecken gab es einen unerschütterlichen Freiheitsinstinkt und Widerstand – oft heroisch, oft tragisch, aber immer ein Ausdruck des unbeugsamen polnischen Geistes.

Dearest Gentle Listeners,Join your Ladies Bridgerton as we discuss the most interesting (verbal) boxing match of the season - Colin V's Portia. Colin walks in to hear his girl being verbally assaulted by her mother and he was not here for it. Grab your popcorn and enjoy our commentary on the match of the season (pun intended).Yours Truly,The Ladies Bridgerton

No episódio de hoje, convido-o a navegar comigo à boleia de Inês Rodrigues, num barco à vela, pelo Pacífico. Numa conversa intimista, Inês conta, sem rodeios, como foi percorrer 9000 milhas náuticas de veleiro desde o Panamá até à Austrália, com passagem pela Polinésia Francesa, Fiji e Nova Caledónia.

Care for a game of charades, dearest listeners? Bridgerton rules, everyone. After a couple more rounds on the chaise, we're taking the carriage across the park to finish up our S3E5 Part 2 rewatch before the clock runs out. Um. The clock of life, of course. With the Queen back on her fruitless hunt, we'll be snacking on biscuits with a hungry Pen, shirking Colin's gaze all evening and chasing a suspicious streak of mud with a phantom-to-be. While Kate outdoes herself at the Polin engagement party, we'll be inviting ourselves over for macarons, riddles and-- LILIES. FORGET-ME-NOT. LILACS! (No, Anthony. Dessert.)And as the clock approaches midnight, we'll be gasping for breath as we wait to see if the intellectual genius of the group will finally reveal herself. Time will surely tell, dear listeners. So let's raise a toast to muddy boots, atrocious riding and to knowing each other fully.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: 1 PEDRO 4:7-11 Plano De Leitura Anual: SALMOS 40–42; ATOS 27:1-26  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  Em junho de 1965, seis adolescentes saíram da ilha de Tonga onde moravam, na Polinésia, e partiram em busca de aventura. Na primeira noite, a tempestade quebrou o mastro e o leme da embarcação e eles ficaram à deriva por dias, sem mantimentos, antes de chegar à ilha desabitada de 'Ata. Foram 15 meses até serem encontrados. Os rapazes montaram uma horta, escavaram troncos de árvores para armazenar água da chuva e improvisaram uma academia. Quando um deles quebrou a perna, eles fizeram uma tala com gravetos e folhas. Resolviam suas discussões com reconciliação, começavam e terminavam o dia cantando e orando. Todos foram resgatados saudáveis e suas famílias maravilharam-se, pois já tinham antecipado os seus funerais. Ser cristão no primeiro século pode ter sido uma experiência de isolamento. Talvez eles tenham se sentido perseguidos por sua fé, afastados da família e à deriva. Pedro os encorajou a permanecer disciplinados nas orações, amar uns aos outros e usar todas as suas habilidades para realizar a obra (1 PEDRO 4:7-8,10-11). No tempo certo, Deus os restauraria, sustentaria e os fortaleceria (5:10). Em tempos de provação, é necessário ter a “fé como a de um náufrago”. Oramos, somos solidários na obra, e Deus nos conduz.   Por:  SHERIDAN VOYSEY 

"Ich hab ein Jahr als eine vollwertige Fachkraft im Krankenhaus gearbeitet, ohne einen Cent dafür zu bekommen!" So erinnert sich unser Gast in dieser Sommerfolge Zuzanna an ihre schwierige Ankunft in Deutschland. Die gebürtige Polin hat im deutschen Nachbarland sogar Pflege studiert. Trotzdem musste sie bei ihrer Ankunft in Deutschland die Ochsentour absolvieren, bis ihre hochwertige Ausbildung anerkannt war. Sie sieht es pragmatisch: "Nichtsdestotrotz, ich bin dankbar für jeden Weg, ich hab von unten bis nach oben alle Stufen durch" Was für ein Land ist Deutschland im Bezug auf die Pflege? Wie schwierig ist es, hier anzukommen, nicht nur beruflich, sondern auch menschlich? (Spoiler: Zuzanna hat große Akzeptanz, aber auch auch Eifersucht erlebt) Und wie weit ist in Polen eigentlich die Akademisierung der Pflege? (Spoiler: sie wird radikaler durchgezogen) Und warum bist du damals nach Deutschland gekommen, Zuzanna? Viele Jahre lebt und arbeitet sie schon in Deutschland und hat eine außergewöhnliche Perspektive auf beide Länder und ihre Pflege. Weil man beim Blick von außen immer am meisten lernt, bekommt ihr von uns den: Einschaltbefehl!

Im letzten Jahr lieferten sich Kasia Niewadoma und Demi Vollering ein Herzschlagfinale für die Ewigkeit - mit gerade mal vier Sekunden Vorsprung gewann am Ende die Polin. Jetzt geht die Tour de France Femmes in die nächste Auflage - schafft Vollering die Revanche, verteidigt Niewadoma ihren Titel oder gibt es eine lachende Dritte? Die Redakteure blicken zurück und voraus, stellen die Strecke vor und analysieren die Chancen der deutschen Starterinnen. Vive le Tour, watch the Femmes!

They discuss the plan for Gaza proposed by Israel's defence minister that has stirred trenchant opposition inside and outside the country - and the military draft bill splitting an already divided Knesset. They are also joined by Rachel Goldberg-Polin, whose son Hersh was murdered while a captive of Hamas, for a conversation about grief, belief and the future of Israel.

In this week's episode, Dr. Abigail Polin joins us to answer your questions from the internet, on a variety of topics tangentially related to astrophysics! Questions range from the basic and fundamental to the obscure and weird. Answers are totally unprepared and rambling. Our guests this week are Dr. Abigail Polin, PLUS an extra-special mystery guest!

No furtive looks necessary, dearest listener. Our S3E5 Part 1 rewatch is not a thunderbolt from the sky. With a newly engaged Polin busy announcing their happy news, it seems we have much to catch up on indeed. We're in high spirits, despite the one Bridgerton sibling who's even less thrilled about it than Eloise. As word of the betrothal spreads through the ton, we'll be shouting for all of Mayfair to hear as we fry fish with Anthony, take a morning stroll with Benedict and buffer up the bee on Colin's belt. Is there more? Oh, so much more. After a showdown between Catherine the Great and the neighbour boy, we'll be heading to an opera singer's residence to pull down the dust sheets, lay out our furnishings and turn our two blue pools towards a conspicuously placed looking glass. Lie down, dearest listeners. There are other parts we've been dreaming about. And you should see them as well. *Show Notes: Crumbs IG: @BridgertonNetflix Season 4 end of production videoShondaland: Photos from the Season 4 Table ReadThe Hollywood Reporter: Interview with Jonathan BaileyWhat's On Netflix: Bridgerton Adds 12 Supporting Cast MembersDeadline: 5 Songs with Bridgerton Music Supervisor Justin KampsDeadline: Adjoa Andoh at Italian Global Series FestivalCiak Magazine: Interview with Polly WalkerLoungefly: Bridgerton Mini Backpack*Show Notes: Rewatch Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library"Tick Tock."

Deauville, no norte da França, inaugurou no dia 21 de junho a primeira edição de um festival totalmente dedicado à fotografia esportiva. Durante três meses, o Deauville Sports Image Festival oferece ao público uma série de imagens feitas por profissionais que imortalizaram, ao redor do mundo, momentos importantes e inesquecíveis de diversas modalidades. São cerca de 300 fotos em grande formato, espalhadas por 12 exposições ao ar livre, em diversos lugares da cidade balneária, e divididas por temas. Entre elas, um “Best of 2024” e uma exibição das “façanhas paralímpicas”, para lembrar os Jogos Olímpicos e Paralímpicos de Paris. A lista conta ainda com uma exposição dedicada às 20 fotos que marcaram a história do esporte. Na seleção rigorosa, uma homenagem ao piloto brasileiro Ayrton Senna, clicado com os olhos fechados em sua última largada de uma corrida de Fórmula 1. O público poderá conferir ainda uma exposição de fotografias em preto e branco sobre corridas tradicionais de hipismo na Indonésia, praticada por crianças. Entre outros destaques, está uma retrospectiva da carreira do fotógrafo Neil Leifert, que durante 60 anos acompanhou diversas competições e realizou retratos do famoso boxeador americano Muhammad Ali. Prêmios Na abertura do evento, foram divulgados os vencedores de três prêmios. O de Melhor Fotografia Paralímpica foi atribuída a Dimitar Dilkoff, pelo clichê na disputa da medalha de bronze de esgrima nos Jogos de Paris 2024. O prêmio de Melhor Reportagem Esportiva do Ano foi concedido ao fotógrafo Etienne Garnier, pelo belo registro da americana Simone Biles durante sua apresentação na final da prova de barras assimétricas. E o prêmio de Melhor Reportagem do Ano foi para Bernard Le Bars, que acompanhou, em fevereiro deste ano, a chegada no oeste da França da navegadora Violette Dorange, de 23 anos, a mais jovem participante da Vendée du Globe, a regata solitária ao redor do mundo, sem assistência e sem escalas.   Além da exposição pelas ruas de Deauville, um leilão de fotografias icônicas do esporte foi aberto para que os fãs possam adquirir imagens que entraram para a história. Intitulado “Um século de fotografia esportiva”, o leilão oferece um lote composto por 92 fotos, vintage ou contemporâneas, como a célebre imagem do francês Jérôme Brouillet que imortalizou a comemoração do surfista brasileiro Gabriel Medida  ao surfar uma onda em Teahupoo, na Polinésia Francesa, durante os Jogos Olímpicos de Paris 2024. Medina parece flutuar no ar com o braço direito erguido e com o pé esquerdo amarrado em sua prancha, numa composição perfeita.  Até sexta-feira, o valor da fotografia já havia atingido € 11 mil, o equivalente a quase R$ 70 mil. Fotos de profissionais renomados como Raymond Depardon, Michel Birot ou Emanuelle Scorcelletti estão à venda e os clichês são tão variados quanto às emoções que eles inspiram. Fotos da passagem da Volta da França por Deauville em 1920 e do último Dakar nas areias desérticas da Arábia Saudita, a largada de uma corrida de Harley-Davidson na Itália, uma ginasta fazendo acrobacias em barras assimétricas, o acidente de automobilismo com Lewis Hamilton do GP de Monza em 2017, a saída da corrida 24 horas de Le Mans de 1962, ou ainda o piloto Juan Manuel Fangio em 1958 estão na seleção. O leilão iniciou-se em 21 de junho, dia da abertura do festival, e os últimos lances podem ser dados no site da casa de leilões até o dia 10 de julho.

With 59 hostages still in Gaza, both dead and alive, Jon Polin, the father of slain Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, doesn’t believe it’s appropriate for any Jew to have a festive Passover celebrating freedom this year. "The point," he says, "is let's lean into the pain this year, and not even try to sugarcoat it for our kids" Polin and his wife Rachel became prominent international advocates for their son Hersh’s release until the tragic news of his murder by Hamas terrorists in an underground tunnel last August. The couple continue to advocate tirelessly for the release of the remaining hostages. On the Haaretz Podcast, Polin spoke with host Allison Kaplan Sommer about how his family is facing their difficult first Passover Seder since Hersh’s death and how he believes others should treat the holiday. “We've talked about symbolic things that people should do: Maybe put a lemon on your table. A lemon because it's yellow, the color of the hostage struggle, and because it's bitter - to reflect the bitterness that the hostages and their families and all the Jewish people are going through,” he said, also suggesting “instead of just dipping our greens in the salt water, let's drink some salt water, because we know from testimonies of recently released hostages that is what they are drinking." In recent weeks, Polin made headlines in Israel by calling for members of the coalition to refrain from wearing yellow ribbon pins symbolizing solidarity with hostage families and on the podcast, explained his rationale. “If you're in a position of authority and you are not willing to do the things necessary to bring home hostages, that's your political choice. But then, don't wear the pin.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jews began celebrating Passover during the actual exodus from Egypt, sometime in the 13th–15th century BCE, and the tradition has continued—evolving but unbroken—ever since. To honor this tradition, we will be doing something different on this Call me Back episode – we will be talking about Passover, and about what this tradition can teach us […]

Dearest Gentle Listeners, It is the final countdown before the big 'carriage' scene! Debling ditches Penelope - was it really to do with Colin and Pen's feelings or was Debling making a last ditch effort to escape the meddlesome mama Featherington? In today's episode we talk Debelope, Peneloise and Polin, what a tangled web Penelope has woven (yes, that is an Odyssey reference). Fear not gentle listeners,. The FEAST is nearly upon you, Yours Truly, The Ladies Bridgerton Featuring special guests Butler, Daisy and Seymore

Dearest Gentle Listeners, Buckle up your bellies because there is some deep, visceral laughs that go into this episode. Your Ladies Bridgerton have returned from holidays and are using all of the laughs we banked over the weeks we couldn't record together. In today's episode, we look at the dance between Debling and Penelope and followed by the dance between Pen and Colin - who ever thought the two most eligible gentlemen of the ton would be fighting over Penelope - certainly not Cressida. Yours Truly, The Ladies Bridgerton

Wakey, wakey sleepyheads. Looks like someone's been enjoying their wildest fantasies a little too well. 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. It has only ever been Polin. * Show Notes: Crumbs Shondaland: Behind-the-scenes photos of the Season 4 table read What's On Netflix: Susan Brown cast as Mrs Crabtree PORTER: Interview with Phoebe Dynevor The Direct: Phoebe Dynevor Season 4 update Screen Actors Guild: SAG Awards 2025 nominations IFTA: IFTA Awards 2025 nominations The Hollywood Reporter: NAACP Awards 2025 nominations Art Directors Guild: ADG Awards 2025 nominations Digital Spy: Digital Spy Readers Awards 2024 The Jamie Lloyd Co.: Full casting for Much Ado About Nothing Theatre Royal Bath: A Man for All Seasons Hope Mill Theatre: Vignettes – Letters to the NHS Mrs Warren's Profession, Garrick Theatre ITVX: The Masked Singer Show Notes: Rewatch Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library "Forces of Nature."

Dearest Gentle Listeners, Welcome to the queens ballet. Penelope watches the love ballet of Eros and Psyche be played out, the queen wears the weight of the gods (and swans) on her shoulders and Debling thinks his carefully calculated actions are finally coming to fruition. Let us dance our way ever so closer to the magical carriage ride. Yours Truly, The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners, We change up the format today.  We want to discuss Pen's interactions with her mother and Colin's interactions with his mother.  We will focus on the Mamas and their different approaches.  Let's begin the Tale of 2 Mamas! Yours Truly, The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners, In today's episode we will be talking all things revelry. We don't hold back on our feelings about the Lord Squad or their interactions at Mondrich's bar. Lady Patti has some theories on Floppy Flacid Fife and we share a moment of sadness for lonely boy Colin in his Down Bad Era. Yours Truly, The Ladies Bridgerton

How big a computer do you need to simulate a supernova? Or a planet being formed? Or a black hole swallowing gas? Many astrophysicists spend their time developing computational models to simulate these systems and learn how they evolve. We discuss these computer simulations with Purdue Professor Dr. Paul Duffell. In this first episode of season 2, Dr. Abigail Polin takes over as host.

Dearest Gentle Listeners, The Ladies Bridgerton talk all things Greek history in today's episode - from statues, gods and even fabled myths. Hopefully our love duo of Season 3 aren't as tragic a love story as the Odyssey - our Penelope deserves better than to wait 20 years. Yours Truly, The Ladies Bridgerton

Dearest Gentle Listeners, Buckle your seatbelts and get ready to clutch your pearls because this is a big one! Today we are finally discussing the much anticipated Episode 4! Lord Debling calls upon Penelope, is a fern ever just a fern in the world of Bridgerton? Patti uncovers some truths behind why Colin was stepping aside to make way for Debling in the first place. Prepare your minds because mine is officially blown. Yours Truly, The Ladies Bridgerton

O Willow Tree! O Willow Tree! How lovely are thy branches! Alas, dear listeners. It has been quite a journey we have taken together. Join us as we look back over a most remarkable year of Polin, celebrating string quartets, non-friendly dreams and a very Shooketh Colin. We'll be playing Secret Santa for our dearest members of the ton, gifting Byron's novel to an unappreciative Benedict, maple sugar to a suspicious Pen and parmesan cheese ice cream to a grimacing Eloise. And after we've nursed our hangovers with Colin and checked on those pesky staffing issues at Bridgerton House, we'll be joined by the Ghosts of Seasons' Past and Present for a festive trip to the library. Seasons' Greetings, dearest listeners. 'Tis the Season to be Polin. * Show Notes Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library “Art of the Swoon.” Bridgerton. Written by Leila Cohan-Miccio.

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. After all… are they not friends? * Show Notes - Crumbs Elle: Nicola Coughlan on Emmy's 2024 Red Carpet Voice: Kick Some Class: Claudia Jessie talks going from council estate to Bridgerton The Jamie Lloyd Co: The Tempest Etsy: Journals By James Instagram: @JournalsByJames Focus Entertainment: Warhammer Space Marines II @SohoPlace: White Rabbit Red Rabbit Reasons to be Joyful Podcast: Sam Phillips Talks Bridgerton and The Crown YouTube: Mum I'm In A Movie Instagram: Mum I'm In A Movie Radio Times: First Trailer Released for Channel 5's The Hardacres Nordisk Film & TV Fond: Last to Break Trailer Fever Up: Candlelight x Bridgerton Spotify: 'Too Sweet' (Hozier) by Atwood Quartet Spotify: What a Barb!

Ever finish a show and NEED to chat about it with someone who feels your pain (or joy)? Melisa and Meghan are here for you! This week, they're diving deep into the emotional rollercoaster that is Queen Charlotte and the ending that left them both in a puddle. But fear not, Gentle Reader, because Bridgerton Season 3 is here to whisk them (and you!) away to a world of gossip, romance, and of course, Polin finally getting their happily ever after. So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and get ready to dissect every detail of Penelope's love stories with these two obsessed fans! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Part two of our ‘Bridgerton' series finds Pam, Laura, Micah, and special guest, Morgan (That Nerd Thing Podcast) taking a deep dive into ‘Bridgerton' season 3. This time around, we aren't holding back— spoilers for all season of ‘Bridgerton' are fair game and run rampant! So consider this your official warning, dearest gentle listeners! We kick things off by checking in with Laura and Micah to see if they feel compelled to update their fan status from the last time we recorded. ‘Bridgerton' season 3 marks the first time in the series' history that Netflix has felt compelled to split the season into two parts. Did this work well for them? Did it play well for us? How about all those subplots? Were we intrigued or fatigued by how much they packed into this season? And more importantly, did it come at the expense of Polin? Speaking of Colin and Penelope, do we feel satisfied with the way their story played out or were we left wanting more? The topic of redemption as an overarching theme comes up in relation to Cressida, Lady Featherington, and even Penelope. We dive into the Lady Whistledown reveals, beginning with the shocking moment when Colin finds out it's been his beloved Pen all along. Was Colin justified in his feelings, and did the show give him enough breathing room to explore the complexity of his emotions? Were we expecting Penelope to come clean to the entire Ton? The group makes some predictions with regards to what that means for the future of her gossip column Listener submitted questions find us ruminating over the Polin sex scenes and whether this season was spicy enough, Eloise's ultimatum, and the shocking twist the show chose to make with regards to gender bending a beloved character from the books. Still thirsty for more ‘Bridgerton' season 3 content? Be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel where Laura and Pam recorded their initial reactions to this season right after they finished binge watching! Learn more about your ad choices.
