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. Uh…right, Pen?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Clear your bottle-weary heads and step away from the windowsill, dearest listeners – we are in pursuit of some revelry.
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? We concur with you there.

Ships Ahoy, dearest listener! We’re setting sail on the Season of Love.
As we dip our toes into the cloudy waters of 1816, we’ll be pulling down our balloons, hoisting up our kites and grabbing our tins of yellow paint to redecorate for the season ahead.
Once we’ve dropped our anchors at Grosvenor Square, we’ll be slipping down the staircase with Benedict, sneaking into the maids’ quarters with Hyacinth and gossiping around the table with Footman John.
And as preparations get underway for A Midsummer’s Night Masquerade, we’ll be dashing across the square for an important afternoon of squeezing Colin’s cheeks, playing maid for Penelope and polishing up everyone’s favourite looking glass.
But then we’ll be raising our masts and preparing for our decks to swept by the arrival of a skull and crossboned buccaneer.
Pirate Pen, the swashbuckling blonde? Shiver our timbers, indeed.

One, two, three – HEAVE! Grab a rope and get tugging, dearest listeners, because it’s time for Part 2 of our 303 rewatch.
As Penelope risks certain(ish) death for a glimpse of Colin Bridgerton’s exposed forearms, we’ll be rolling up our sleeves, sucking the sugar from our fingers and tearing through another pair of trousers to help a thirdborn’s hero complex save the day.
While we wait for the giant balloon to make its deadly approach, we’ll be passing time fourth-wheeling with Eloise, misplacing a dearly beloved pirate coat and seeking justice for severely aggrieved hand-woven swans.
Once we’ve finally deflated from a blustery day’s excitement, we’ll be dropping our gloves at the Hawkins Ball, hitting mute on a meet cute and summoning the courage to ask one Miss Featherington a very important question.
If only we could stop staring at her lips long enough to remember what exactly was on our minds…

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.

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.
And as the Season 3 winds blow our favourite traveller ashore, we’ll be swooning over pirate coats, sea swept waves and one very tousled emotional support curl.
After all: Colin Bridgerton, your eyebrows are the most remarkable shape of seagull wings.

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.

Join us for Part 2 of our S3E2 rewatch, as we take cover with an abandoned pirate coat, sneak a peek at a little Parisian smut and take a crash course in Bandaging Mister Bridgerton.
Once Pen’s made sure her hand is all patched up, we shall be galloping along to the nearest lunar soirée to search for a missing bonbon, take a sex ed class with Portia and mourn the loss of a quickly departed steed.
As we get back into the saddle with Season 1 Colin, we’ll also be commiserating with Window Pen, planning our next paycheck with Rae and slipping into the garden for a covert meeting with an old friend: the Pointy Topiary.
And once hope is lost, on an unknown night of the week, in the heart of Mayfair, in a moonlit garden in Grosvenor Square, we’ll sobbing along as Colin Bridgerton kisses Penelope Featherington.
And, dear listener, it will be bloody glorious.

Imagine it with us, listeners.
A dashing suitor – sorry, tutor – and his very teachable pupil dedicated to academic pursuits. What could possibly go astray? 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.

Delicate and oh so agreeable? Crack open the bonbons, dearest listeners, because Harry Dankworth has come to call.
Join us as we welcome the astonishing James Phoon for a splendid conversation about his time on Bridgerton, including Prudank nose boops, a cheese-loving brother-in-law and a newly Christened Baby Dankworth.
We’ll be following James’ time on the show from a mysterious audition and inspiring costume fitting, through to the weird & wonderful celebration of our favourite citrus-loving family.
And once the final butterfly has flown from the Dankworth-Finch Ball, we’ll be heading to the Yorkshire Moors for a discussion of the other, other, other Brontë, the importance of claiming your own space, and navigating life through journaling.
A journal by a Regency gentleman? Colin Bridgerton, eat your heart out.

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?

Filming leaks falling down like pieces into place...
The cameras are rolling. The churro truck has opened up. It's time to pack Gregory off to Eton and welcome the newest family to town as we celebrate the beginning of Season 4 production.
While Portia and Colin battle it out over the Featherington ledgers, we pull up our silver gloves, borrow a few items out of Westley's wardrobe and steal away into the gardens for a late-night rendezvous, (not so) far away from prying eyes.
And as we dream up family plans for the festive season, we recruit a pedagogical gerbil to help us track down a missing Viscountess, a Succubus of the First Water, and everyone's favourite Plant Daddy.
Our very first look of a midnight masquerade? That's fifty points to Ravenclaw.

Coming Soon
🎵Summer days drifting away but oh, those 15-billion-minute-long summer niiiights 🎵
After a summer swimming in the Polin seas, we’re almost ready to pack up our seashells, buy Pen a stick of rock and head home for an Autumn of filming crumbs and rewatches.
But before we lock up our trunks and board the boat back to Mayfair, we have one last task on our hands: ardently, fervently and loudly declaring our Season 3 episode rankings.
Which episode left our Polin hearts soaring inches above the ground like a slow-moving hot air balloon? Is that really the Grim Reaper toasting marshmallows with us at the Floral Ball? And why oh why is Lechi crying again on a Zoom call?
We wish you the best of luck, S3 Episodes. To the field of combat we go.

Sigh no more, listeners, sigh no more. The Lady in Silver has been found at last.
But there’s no rest for the Wicked as Beans has found herself with a new mystery on her hands: we don’t even know which rare Bavarian text it is, but we’re looking for it.
As we scour the shelves of Shakespeare & Co. for the elusive tome, we’ll also be searching for answers to burning Season 3 questions about bandaged flashbacks, Italian Contessas and babies named Ginger.
Elsewhere, we try to recover from the shock of finding Kanthony inside their own home by sitting down to talk Regency mommy bloggers, Daddy issues and whether Mr Bridgerton said he’d buy the flowers himself for the Featherington estate.
And as August(us Gloop) slips away into a moment of time, we’ll be reminiscing over summer love at the Polin wedding and the cryptic identity of a most important guest.
Fife or not Fife: that is the question.
