Nobody Wants This S2 with Alice James
It was the series that gave us the perfect first kiss and reignited our love for Seth Cohen. So the big question that looms is...did the second season live up to the glory of the first? Alice James and I reunite for the first time since she became a Mum (whoop whoop) to have an honest discussion about our favorite new show...where it went RIGHT and where it went....well...wrong.

Matt Hansen, the troubadour with 4 million followers and a whole lotta love.
If you know Matt's music, you'll know that he is undoubtedly a hopeless romantic, so of COURSE I jumped at the chance to interview him during his recent Aus/NZ tour.

What The Beckhams have taught us about LOVE.

WINE! How to order it. How to enjoy it! (with Angus O'Loughlin)
Wine is something a lot of us enjoy, but not many of us feel super confident ordering. And given that wine can often play a big part in setting the mood when it comes to dating, love and romance I thought I'd invite my friend and co-host of Got Somme podcast Angus O'Loughlin on to help take the stress out of ordering and enjoying wine. You'll learn some amazing tips and tricks for navigating a tricky wine menu, keeping within budget and ultimately avoiding a wine fail, whether you're at the bottle-o or a fancy restaurant.

What Frozen has taught as about LOVE.
You'd be forgiven for only associating the Disney film 'Frozen' with earworms, Elsa costumes and the 1hr 42 minutes of peace you can enjoy while the kids watch it This week however, the clever and insightful Damaris Treasure returns to discuss the fact that FROZEN MIGHT BE THE ULTIMATE SELF HELP MANUAL FOR LOVE! We also have an in-depth discussion at the end about the hottest male cartoon characters and I think it might be the most important moment in 70+ episodes of Hopeless Romantics.

Quickie: Did Adam Brody give us the best TV kiss of 2024?
If our full episodes are a deep dive, consider this more of a dip of the toe. Maybe a waist-deep wade? We are less than TWO WEEKS away from the return of 'Nobody Wants This', the show that was easily my watch of 2024. In this quickie, we deep dive what could possibly be the best kiss in recent TV history. The full episode can be found in season 1 episode 21!

Clint Randell reflects on 17 years of marriage and the power of doing 'the work'.
Clint Randell is a very recognisable face and name here in NZ where he's fronted TV and radio shows for well over a decade. But when I think of Clint, the first word that comes to mind is 'family'. Clint is a man who takes any opportunity to talk about his beautiful wife and two kids, and it is a joy to watch him parent, and a joy to see his eyes twinkle every time someone mentions Jaime. This is perhaps the most vulnerable and honest you've ever heard Clint, as we have a long conversation about finding his faith and his future wife in his early twenties, and how the two were inexplicably intertwined. I want to thank Clint for being so honest about the joys and also the really tough parts of his 17 year marriage, and I want to thank his amazing wife Jaime for allowing their story to be told. Ultimately, this conversation highlights the importance of doing 'the work', and how redemption is possible if both people are willing to get honest, raw, and commit to a better future. I love you both very much, and I know this conversation will touch a lot of people, as it did me (I literally sob around thirty minutes in) x LINKS: Follow Clint on ⁠instagram⁠ Follow me on ⁠⁠tikok⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠ Follow the podcast on ⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠ Order my debut novel ⁠⁠Love on the Air⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

If our full episodes are a deep dive, consider this more of a dip of the toe. Maybe a waist-deep wade? In this quickie, Harriet Power and I take a look back at one of the best scenes in one of the best rom-coms of all time. Julia Roberts. Hugh Grant. And one hell of a dinner party.

Adam Hyde (a.k.a. Keli Holiday) joins me this week for an open hearted chat about the profound power of love, the profound impact of personal loss and how the two are inexplicably linked.

What Downton Abbey has taught us about LOVE.
This week, we head to the cinema (art house, obviously) to see the new Downton Abbey film and return with tales of squeaky chairs, loud sobs (Ash's, duh) and more importantly...four key love lessons that Downton Abbey has taught us over the years. From Sybil and Tom’s cross-class romance to Lady Mary’s habit of shagging strangers, we unpack how the show (and the film) can help us in life and more importantly in LOVE! Plus, we round it all off with a few castle-based rom-com recommendations to keep the magic alive.

Harrison Keefe (just can't help falling in love)
You may know him as the 'vibes guy' on the internet or the host of Edge arvos on your radio station (if you live in NZ). But after this chat, you'll know him as the guy who sends his Dad 30 minutes voice memos, sometimes cries in the car and has never heard his girlfriend pass wind. It was an absolute JOY to get to know Harrison on a deeper level, and a pleasure to him hear him open his big, soft heart as I sat there and cried intermittently for 39 minutes.

Welcome to the first Hopeless Hotline, where I answer listener-submitted dilemmas - ranging from love and friendship to identity crises and existential meltdowns. This week, our 'hopeless romantic' has a question about a big clash in values between herself and her partner. It's taken her by surprise, and left her wondering if she's misread him - and them - all along. Have your own question for the hotline? Shoot me a voicemail or DM on instagram!
