#87 Grimsby’s Mariah, Beehive Blindness, and The Big Gig

The Fringe of It ·

2025/11/06

It’s an ordinary week. Charlotte, or should we say Mariah, is defrosting for Christmas and has the mood boards cooking. Liv is pondering if her house purchase of last year will serve her fittingly this firework night- oh, and Charlotte went… to a gig. A pop show! A rock concert! And has kindly supplied her tips on survival for those of us who prefer to not be out after 8pm.There’s also deep and meaningful thoughts about time, some trendy music (that’s us!), more chatter about Graham Norton than we

2025/10/30

It’s a cosy autumn Thursday morning. There is talk of Charlotte’s full-bodied soup, roast hunting and Jack eating chicken once again on the horizon. But! That’s not all- Liv has discovered (arguably) her TV watch of the year, and wait for it, it’s on the wrong side of spooky- what could it be?! The girls’ are also joined by the wonderful Odessa Young ahead of the new Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere movie, and yes, they did manage a sausage and Debbie Harry chat with her (important).In other big

In the giddiness of it all Liv shares her favourite Traitors anecdote not once but twice- you lucky devils!Plus, diving into the kitchen the girls discuss the best high street bagels, a soup that holds its own in the bin and there's some of the sexiest

2025/09/24

Like all good things, this season of The Fringe of It must come to an end... So here it is, your season finale! And to make sure they go out in style, Liv and Charlotte are together IRL to talk telly, food and everything in between. There's raincoat chat (Why do some have no hoods? Why aren't all hoods detachable? Why aren't coats the right length!?), there's Strictly chat (obviously), and there's a live tasting to whet your appetites.

The Fringe of It ·

2025/09/16

It's been a week and the girls are already requesting a polite refund on September. But! There's hope yet- isn't there? A promise of autumnal apple cakes, slow cookers, soups and oh, erm, never mind. Anyway! Liv finally, finally completed Love is Blind- and they have thoughts! Mainly Charlotte wanting to bellow 'you're a liar!' at strangers, but there are lots of thoughts nonetheless!There's also the discovery of a dream job they both feel very qualified for, a TV show they won't be sticking with

The Fringe of It ·

2025/09/10

As we slink into the 'ber months it's a week of all things marking the start of cosy season. Beans, Bake Off (even if, erm, there were some power naps) and the autumn classic...101 Dalmatians. Who'd have thought?! Is Glenn Close autumn's new Meg Ryan? Only time will tell...Plus, in a classic case of oversharing, Liv goes into a bit too much detail about her pre-podcast ritual, and despite swimming in Forest Feasts, it's a dictionary the girls appear to have eaten this week as there are new words

The Fringe of It ·

2025/09/03

Does everyone look their very best at the end of August? Or, ahem, is it just Charlotte? (It certainly isn't Liv, let's put it that way). Regardless of whether you have new highlights, a tan and a fierce new passion for bingo or not- we want holiday chat, and we want it now! But it's not just French poolside anecdotes this week- oh no! The girls talk... transfer deadline day?...Grimsby's penalties? and oh... the worst TV review of all time from Liv (but she *has* started Love is Blind, so give her

With Charlotte on her summer holidays (advice on how to find a partner with parents who retire to France within!) it's time to open up the electronic mail bag and see what's inside.Charlotte and Liv answer your questions on finding time for hobbies (or trying to manifest a weekly crafts club), share probably the best party theme that's every been thought of, and read our some listener telly recommendations.We'll be back next with regular programming, and hopefully many tales from sunny France (and

The Fringe of It ·

2025/08/19

Did Charlotte just say… golf?! Not another hobby! Alas, it’s juts another obscure TV show from Charlotte (well worth it, in our opinion) as well as some serious culture-vulturing from Liv (did she just say… Proms?!) and a game that means you can reenact the Traitors at home. But don’t worry, we’re 100% faithful.Plus, in a twist nobody saw coming- Liv discovers a snack that approximately ninety nine percent of the population on earth already consume- and, not to gossip- but there’s a new boy in town

The Fringe of It ·

2025/08/12

A week of roses and thorns; from broken laptops, old appliances and planned obsolescence to holidays which could be Hinge adverts (Hinge! Hit us up!!), an afternoon floating and a first ever exclusive 1000/10 rating on The Fridge of It- it really isn’t all that bad!There’s also a trendy nut chat we’re sure you’ve all been waiting for, a liquorice rating (nope, this isn’t pensioners hour, STAY WITH US) and some serious keyring comparison. And that’s all before the grand planned snack swap is

The Fringe of It ·

2025/08/05

It’s a week of sandwiches worth leaving the M25 for, big TV moments (which show has taken Charlotte on a journey this week?!) and a very apt realisation that Charlotte and Liv might well be podcastings Shrek and Donkey- the glamour!There is also imperative (and delayed) football chat. Did the Lionesses win? Come to us to find out… last! And a discussion on which supermarket is in fact *the* supermarket for foodies! There’s also a dollop of DMC’s with a big chat about navigating grown up friendships

2025/07/29

The throes of summer can only equate to one thing- and that means that dreams of a full Hallie Parker and Annie James summer camp are rife. For Charlotte anyway! (Just sans poker by the lake, of course). For Liv it’s trying to decode tennis post Wimbledon, trying the infamous Ben Shephard sandwich- and of course roping in her dad for a verified Papa P lunchtime sando review. There’s also all important foccacia chat (or, ahem, aerated bread), dip charting and an excellent telly recommendation which

Cheese and wine nights? Jazz festivals? Yes, you did hear correctly! This episode comes to you following a week Nigella would be proud of. We know! Who ARE WE?! We have also rolled into the part of summer where Charlotte becomes a human buckaroo of accessories, and Liv reminisces over hair braid stories she’d sooner forget- oh summer, how we love thee!Heavy breathing to one side (apologies, dear listeners), the girls are also back with the slowest culture reviews in the biz!

2025/07/15

It’s the height of summer, and it was only a matter of time before conversations turned to sexing up salads, growing courgettes and Charlotte beginning the search for The Great Ice Lolly of 2025. It’s also a a slippery slope back into sailor dressing- and with Liv having not done her homework (as well as saying ‘like’ approximately 10000 times), it begs the question- did you try your best or were you at a sample sale?There’s also chat of *that* Aidan scene (yes, that one), an Alex Turner impression

2025/07/08

The bras are off and the girls (ahem, Charlotte and Liv)- are back! Just give Charlotte five minutes to remove her contact lenses please...It's the second comeback tour of the decade, and it's like we never left. No stone is left unturned from the last six months; from Charlotte's great rebrand as Corporate Sue, the burden that comes with being featured on Elton John's Instagram stories, a Leslie Bibb bob (try saying that tipsy) and a measly, but dedicated attempt at being a Come What May™️ girlie

We told you we wouldn't be gone for long, didn't we! This week is a *very* special bonus episode with none other than podcaster, activist, mental health ambassador and writer Gemma Styles. With today being publication day of her debut book, Why Am I Like This? We pulled Gemma into our virtual living room and made sure we covered everything from coping with comparison and the spotlight effect, managing authenticity online, setting boundaries and why being a human is actually pretty hard (and joyful,

As Shania Twain once said- looks like we made it! It’s the final episode of the series, and we go out with a big chocolatey bang (without giving anything away… ahem). From car MOT’s resembling Grease (or not), an inbox worthy of a dreamy scene with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks and a very exciting Blue Peter badge hack (for the first timein TOFI history this *could* be a ‘You Heard it Here FIRST')- there’s a lot to get to your teeth into this week, and that’s before we delve into Have I Got Food For You

It’s the penultimate episode of series 2, and this week The Fringe of It goes to the Fringe! Taking us on a rollercoaster of culture- it’s a buffet of comedy, crying and cabaret as well as a beautiful one woman monologue about Love is Blind (courtesy of Charlotte, sadly not performed at the Fringe… yet). Charlotte and Liv also delve into pressing matters such as bringing back liquid eyeliner and why women complimenting each other on their outfits is an integral part of serotonin sharing in our

It’s a late night edition of The Fringe of It this week. And by late night we mean it was recorded at 9pm on Saturday, way past Liv and Charlotte’s bedtimes, resulting in giddiness and the human equivalent of dog zoomies.Liv delves into her mad week which contained: a chic work trip, playing tennis with a certain Wimbledon winner, and a throwback to a childhood phenomenon that she struggled to cope with. Charlotte discusses her recent Vinted haul, the details of which lead to Liv nearly choking on

Wondering about what cereal to buy next? Do nothing until you’ve listened to this episode. Liv discusses her favourite chocolate granolas, and we really get into the merits of a good salad, in particular, the importance of it being well-dressed. Colin from Accounts gets some high praise, and there are some dates for your diary in the form of returning classic TV shows that have got us feeling autumnal in spirit. Liv does a chocolate Marmalade taste test live on air, and we discuss THOSE biscuits
