Not Another Couples Podcast

The UK heatwave rolls on… but why do we completely fall apart whenever the weather does anything remotely extreme? A bit of sunshine, a dusting of snow, and suddenly the country forgets how to function. Mark takes us back to the legendary Summer of ’76, including the time he ended up in hospital after an unfortunate encounter with a playground slide. Suzie, meanwhile, was far too young to remember...

It’s a milestone week as Flynn begins his last ever week at school . After years of school runs, homework, exams and parents’ evenings, the finish line is finally in sight. With celebrations, social events and plenty of memories being made, we chat about how it feels to reach this point. Is it excitement, pride, relief, sadness… or a mixture of everything? We also get into the world of A Levels, r...

Keir Starmer has resigned. What is going on in British politics? With another major change at the top, we discuss the latest political drama and ask whether Westminster has become more Blackadder and Monty Python than real life. Suzie certainly thinks so after watching Andy Burnham being sworn in as an MP again. We chat about what happens next, who could benefit, and whether constant political uph...

A social media ban for under 16s is being talked about more and more, but would it actually work? This week, we discuss the plans being considered, how any ban could realistically be enforced, and who should be responsible for protecting young people online — parents, schools, governments, or the social media companies themselves? We also take a trip down memory lane to a time when there were only...

Clarkson’s Farm Series 5 is here, and we’re asking the big question – do you love it or hate it? We dive into the latest season, from Jeremy’s ever-expanding farming empire and the rise of smart farming technology to the challenges of running his pub. Just how many glasses do you think disappear every week? And what’s the strangest item that’s been stolen from the pub so far? Along the way, we cha...

The FIFA World Cup is almost here, and once again the nation dares to dream. Can England finally end the wait for a second World Cup triumph, or will the ghosts of tournaments past return to haunt them? From 1966 to today, we look back at England’s rollercoaster relationship with football’s biggest prize, discuss the key players, the contenders, and rate their chances of finally bringing it home....

The new film Michael takes us back through the rise of the Jackson family and the incredible journey of Michael Jackson from his early beginnings right through to the mid-90s. We chat through our own memories of that era alongside everything featured in the film so far — the music, the moments, the madness and the impact Michael had on pop culture worldwide. This is part one of Michael’s story, an...

The fight everyone keeps talking about… but is it actually going to happen? Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua has the boxing world buzzing again. Promoters are talking, social media is convinced, and fans are already picking sides — but with plenty of time still to go, anything could happen. Warm-up fights, shock defeats, injuries… and let’s be honest, Fury retiring again wouldn’t exactly be a surprise...

Special guest this week as Flynn joins Suzie for a brilliant chat on life as exam season approaches. With the end of school in sight, they discuss pressure, future plans, and what really goes through a teenager’s mind at this stage of life. They also get into the rise of betting on sports fixtures among older teens, the influence around it, and why it’s becoming such a talking point. Then the tabl...

Step inside the wild, loud, and completely unfiltered world of At Home with The Furys — the family that makes even our “bonkers” lot look calm and collected. From traveller roots and caravans to luxury mansions dripping in Versace, it’s a fascinating clash of cultures, personalities, and lifestyles. Add in the raw and honest moments around Tyson Fury and his bipolar disorder, and you’ve got grippi...

Amber’s back in the hot seat as we dive into what it really means to be a student in the UK in 2026. From the highs of uni life to the pressures behind the scenes, we unpack how students are actually feeling right now — socially, financially, and mentally — and why this generation faces a completely different experience than those before them. We also tackle the growing concern around meningitis o...

SNL has officially landed in the UK — but it’s not the first time we’ve borrowed a hit from across the pond. From game shows to reality TV and comedy formats, we’re diving into the biggest US imports that made their way to British screens… and asking the big question: have we actually done some of them better? Suzie’s got a personal favourite that’s very close to her heart — and trust us, you’ll w...

We go deep inside the manosphere with Louis Theroux — exploring one of the most talked-about and controversial corners of the internet right now. From modern masculinity and dating dynamics to online influencers, red pill culture, and the growing divide between men and women, we break down what the manosphere actually is — and why it’s gaining so much traction. Suzie has strong opinions (and a few...

The Donald Trump era influence is back in the spotlight as another Middle East shake-up sparks debate around the world. But what has it actually achieved… and more importantly, who is it really helping? Suzie and Mark dig into the ripple effects of conflict, the politics behind the decisions, and the uncomfortable question of who tends to benefit when the world gets unstable. From power plays to g...

“I Swear” – the powerful film about Tourette’s – has hit the headlines for all the right reasons… and some very wrong ones. Celebrated for its raw honesty and impact, the film has been making waves with award wins and emotional reactions. But alongside the praise, controversy has bubbled up — including some eyebrow-raising BBC moments that have left people asking serious questions. What exactly ha...

Sir Keir Starmer – will he, won’t he? The pressure’s building, the whispers are getting louder, and Westminster feels like it’s holding its breath. This week we dive into the storm surrounding Keir Starmer and ask what’s really going on behind the careful statements and strategic silences. Is this smart leadership… or political hesitation? We also unpack the global aftershocks of the Epstein files...

The Epstein files feel like the most disgusting can of worms imaginable — names, power, influence, and a silence that’s somehow louder than ever. We try to make sense of how something this big has never truly been dealt with, and whether it’s simply an impossible task when the people implicated are the same ones who still hold the power. Is justice even possible when the system protects itself? Su...

If you thought free-solo climbing was wild, Alex Honnold has gone and raised the bar again — climbing 101 skyscrapers on a live feed, with no safety ropes, in just 1.5 hours . Totally insane… or absolute genius? Suzie couldn’t watch it. Not a chance. Mark, meanwhile, is weirdly calm about the whole thing. We chat through what we actually think of Honnold’s latest feat, why some people are wired fo...

Love it or hate it, The Apprentice still gets people talking — and we’re no different. Suzie and Mark get stuck into why the show keeps coming back year after year, whether Lord Sugar still enjoys firing people, and if Baroness Brady secretly lives for a boardroom stare-down. We chat about the absolute disasters, the overconfidence, the moments that make you shout at the TV — and whether any of it...

Families always have drama… but has Brooklyn Beckham taken it too far — and why? Suzie and Mark break down the who, what, why, and when of the Beckham family fallout. Is the tension being driven by Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz, or does this go much deeper than that? And then there’s that vow renewal… Why did David Beckham and Victoria Beckham feel the need to renew their vows after just three yea...

We’re back — HNY 2026! 🥂 The Donald Trump saga rolls on, with his latest talk of Venezuela dominating the headlines — what he seems to believe versus what the rest of the world is actually seeing. What’s the masterplan this time? “Liberate” the country, take control of the wealth… and maybe pocket a bit on the way? Totally normal stuff. We also ask the big questions no one else dares to tackle: w...

This week we’re fully leaning into CRIME PODCAST mode as we unpack the absolute chaos that is Joey Barton’s record of fines, fights, scraps, scandals, and the kind of behaviour that would have most people in prison, but somehow he still ended up managing a football team. From violent outbursts to unprovoked attacks, we go through the list and try to work out how on earth this man has lived so many...

An eccentric aristocrat is advertising for… a Good Breeder. Yes, really — a wife who can provide him with male heirs! Join us as we dissect his utterly bonkers criteria (helicopter licence = bonus?!) and wonder what Mark would put on his list… Suzie says the whole thing feels very Downton Abbey meets Bridgerton — although she fully expects to host the TV adaptation. Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodca...

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here is BACK for its 25th series! We’re diving into this year’s lineup, the surprises in store, and a look back at some of the most iconic camp-mate moments — including who earned what in the jungle 👀 Mark unleashes a rant about car insurance that everyone can relate to, while the dogs decide to be high maintenance at the worst possible time, sending Suzie into a fu...
