57. The end is near. Again. 21.01.2024

Vita Nova strike again, in the form of Jordan the wards-man. Poor Justin, another near miss for him. Suffocation would have been a bad way to go.

56. Just grow up! 14.01.2024

We're on a theme of growth this week in The Bay. Irene tells Roo to grow up. Mali needs to grow up and confront his Promise Wife. Theo faces a dying Justin and is forced to grow up and Tane needs to grow up to the reality of women's fertility. Catch us on Twitter (we need to grow up and start calling it X) @unofficialbttb

55. New Year, Old Lyric 07.01.2024

It's the first episode of 2024 and the girls are feeling positive, but testing negative. Fake Covid has struck resulting in a BTTB first - a socially distanced episode. Be warned, it's not without it's hitches... Recorded on Nollaig na mBan (Women's Christmas), the girls discuss the women of action and the men of, well, inaction in The Bay. Leah, with the hair of a goddess, saves t...

54. The launch, the arrest and the rescue 26.11.2023

It's a season finale in The Bay, not that Maria and Fáinche knew! Whoops!

Fáinche brings us another #cringeorbinge with a left of centre mention of sports. Like, share and rate #homeandaway

53. The End is Near 19.11.2023

Well, did we think we'd see The Cult back again!

A new segment Cringe or Binge is introduced and the usual Away From The Bay makes a return.

52. The world is a terrible place 12.11.2023

The girls are delighted to be back with Season 3. It was a long break between seasons and a lot went down in The Bay in that time but Fáinche and Maria breeze through the highs and lows of storylines since they were off air. The current storylines get the usual in-depth analysis, while a sad In Memoriam is also discussed. #homeandaway #backtothebaypod

51. Season 2 Finale 04.06.2023

Bad News: It's the Season Finale. Good News: Fáinche's Back! And just in time to watch Justin go up against the Australian Judicial System with David The Lawyer by his side.

Away From The Bay were talking Auld Dads a...

50. You're so golden! 28.05.2023

It's our 50th episode and Maria struggles to find words to rhyme with 'golden'. With Fáinche still away Orla's back and getting caught up in the little details.

Away from The Bay Maria talks gold and silver tickets for a meet and greet, Orla tells us about blinking to destress.

48. "A lot can happen in 10 minutes" 14.05.2023
