The Fringe of It

Firstly WE ARE SORRY THIS IS SO LATE (Charlotte actually uploaded this a week ago but didn't press publish, we're sacking her). In this almost outdated catch up we rate our favourite Easter treats, June's blow drying ritual and the month countdown for Liv's wedding is now upon us. In Telly Talk we discuss GOT, the new Marvel film (we've watched neither), First Dates and Wild Rose. Liv's been readi...

This episode we really get stuck into the fine art of afternoon tea, and name our favourite places to visit for the fine British classic. We also discuss our favourite TV shows of the week, alongside a brief trip to Brighton and a few days in the Lake District. Joining us this week, is the very informative Genevieve Richardson. Genevieve is currently on an internship at Parliament, and works close...

This week Charlotte makes a LOT of new discoveries- including... Beyoncé and, erm, The Voice! What a week! We also discuss internet fatigue and what to do when it all becomes a bit much as well as getting deep after watching Mums Make Porn and some new television discoveries...

In this episode we interview the world's one and only comparison coach, Lucy Sheridan. In her own words, Lucy says: 'Screw comparison! Be less ‘them’ & more you.' We talk about life online / surveillance culture, how to use comparison as a tool for positive change and ways to talk to yourself like you would a good friend. Lucy was a really generous guest, and we hope you love listening to this...

We have no idea what number episode this is, we think it’s our second 39th episode…apologies for getting it wrong last week. This episode sees us have a good old chat about all kinds of different things including vaginas and vulvas, cancelling on friends (when is it ok and when is it not?) and the good old fashion telephone call. Alongside that we have our usual slice of Telly Talk and Shopping an...

In the episode that Liv realises she hasn't seen American Pie (we know),we go on to discuss ALL THINGS WEDDINGS. With both of us getting married this year, we cover all of the things stressing (and exciting) us in the lead up to the big day- and ways we're taking the pressure off too. With a new Richard Curtis film fuelling our chatter (as well as THAT Panorama BBC documentary)- we've got a lot to...

We’re back! We took a longer break than planned over Christmas and the New Year but are now ready to go. This week we have a unofficial guest, our friend Carrie (Wish Wish Wish), which we think adds rather a nice dimension to our real life girls night when we recorded. We talk about A LOT of TV, last count was 15 different shows and films...it’s safe to say we’ve been been making the most of the h...

2018- what a year you have been! WE GAVE BIRTH TO A PODCAST! And to celebrate this roller coaster of a year we present you with a (not so) concise roundup of the last 10 months, in true The Fringe of It style (with lots of thank you's thrown in for good measure). Thank you for being the absolute best listeners and sticking by as we figure this podcast malarkey out- it's been ruddy brilliant having...

As the big day creeps up (THREE DAYS PEOPLE) we sit down to talk all things Christmas, with Charlotte catching up with the exceptionally talented food writer Rosie Birkett to talk about everything from perfecting potatoes, the science behind the perfect dinner and tackling gravy. We also talk about the pressures around this time of year as well as some deep sequin reflection and The Marvelous Mrs....

The only way to describe our guest on this episode and the journey that life has taken her on, is a Phoenix rising from the ashes. Syreeta Challinger and her husband Rob are the duo behind MOSS: Moments of Sense of Style which is a business that has the most incredible story. The pair met in Hong Kong, and whilst on holiday in 2014 in Australia Rob suffered a brain haemorrhage and stroke. In their...

This week is a bit late, we’re really sorry, but are going by the motto: better late than never. Liv and I have a catch up, I act out my favourite scene from Four Weddings and A Funeral and Liv does a rendition of the Apprentice theme tune. All alongside the usual chat focused on shopping and TV.  Shopping: Check Beret: https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-check-beret/prd/9801381 Fred...

In this episode we speak to the incredible Dr Anita Mitra about all things women's health from periods, PMS, and down their health. If you've not heard the word vagina out loud for a while be prepared to hear it more over the next 40 minutes than you might than the next 6 months. We also discuss Bohemian Rhapsody, Liv's Strictly Come Dancing obsession and Charlotte's latest kitchen gadget Mandolin...

First things first- sorry about the ruffling in the beginning- I promise it eases up! Anyway- following a week away this Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we are recording half from our living rooms and the second half from Kentish Town, where we speak to ‘spreader of good vibes’ aka Sarah Powell.

In this weeks episode, we tried something a little different alongside our catch up- by asking you to ask us! With numerous questions thrown our way, we thought we'd chat through some of our favourites this week- covering everything from mental health to dream dinner party guests (Colin Firth included, naturally). With midnight cossie shopping and the (not so) wild side of Ibiza making sure we had...

In this episode of The Fringe Of It (which is a day late in being uploaded, apologies *sickness*) we talk to one of our very own listeners all about finances! Liverpool based, Julia Day runs her own business called 'Easy as VAT'. Julia is passionate about empowering women, by helping to managing their finances and cultivate confidence around money. After working as an accountant in the corporate w...

In this episode we discuss getting our periods, our new favourite TV favourites, including 'Trust, The House Of Getty', The Circle, Killing Eve and of course GBBO where we put Liv's spelling to the test. Shopping wise Charlotte's been hitting the make-up counters and Liv discusses the revival of the Cowboy boot and her style icon Steve Coogan. In this week's discussion we talk about influencers an...

Episode twenty six this series is a special one for us, as this season it marks the first with a very special guest- with our first being none other than the wonderful Gina Martin. Discussing everything from activism, changing the law and even knowing where to begin- we talk about everything from the House of Lords to As Seen On Screen, with some serious inspiration thrown in for good measure. Nat...

We are BACK! After nearly a month off, here we are with season two. This episode is a big old catch up of what we have been up to over the summer, including Planes, Trains and Automobiles. There's the familiar shopping chat, Liv's made a big purchase and Charlotte has been suit shopping. In Telly Talk, we get stuck into the new series of the GBBO and the show on everyone's lips: Bodyguard. Plus ou...

This episode of The Fringe Of It is brought to you by Origins, and was recorded in front of a live audience at The Hoxton, Holborn on Wednesday 8th of August. Liv took Charlotte to see Mamma Mia 2 kicking and screaming, but what did she think of it? Also Autumn Winter dressing is on the horizon and we discuss the finer (and the jumbo) details of our favourite cord suits. The discussion this week i...

Firstly, a huge apology for the delay in sharing the episode this week- due to unforeseen circumstances it's a week delayed, so all references to our live event are now outdated (with out final episode also up this week)! It's the penultimate episode of series one of The Fringe of It, and this week we're reflecting over the last 23 weeks and revisiting some of our favourite episodes- from body ima...

Just to let you know, we briefly talk about suicide (15:35) and racism in this episode (31:44).  This week we have a long catch up, firstly starting with the weather because would we be British if we didn’t? In Telly Talk it’s the penultimate of Liv’s ‘Love Island Minute’ - Liv also discusses Mamma Mia 2, Disney’s Coco and Christopher Robin. Meanwhile Charlotte’s been watching Anthony Bourdai...

This week's episode was recorded on Thursday 19th of July in partnership with Fresh on Marylebone High Street in front of an audience of 25(ish) people. In Telly Talk Charlotte gets confused between the new Queen film trailer and the released press shot of Olivia Coleman in the Crown, happens to the best of us. She also tries to explain Dietland, might have to wait until next week for a more throu...

This week's episode is a long one! Shopping wise we find out what Liv's been buying at Sezane, what floral purchases Charlotte has been picking up. In TV we discuss the season two of GLOW on Netflix, continue talking about the The World Cup where we applaud Gareth Southgate's Positive Mental Attitude, and we also look at some of the social issues around football. Are elements of it sexist and homo...

This week's episode comes to you down the line and is a bit of a deep ol' episode (for us anyway)! In telly chat we discuss the fact we are now fully established football fans (cough), with your 60 second weekly Love Island update too, for good measure. We also discuss body confidence in summer, having a bad week and this weeks topic: going on holiday and the pressure of travel. We talk about our...
