You’re Not Allowed To Say The ’S’ Word - A Heartstopper Podcast

We hope you've been enjoying a great start to 2024! This is the second of our highlights shows looking back on the amazing few months we've had rewatching, and talking about, Series 1 of Heartstopper. This week is another bumper episode filled with some of our favourite moments, be they funny, emotional or reflective, either from, about or inspired by episodes 5 - 8 of Heartstopper Series 1.

We are taking a look back at the amazing few months that we had rewatching series 1 of Heartstopper and have put together two bumper collections of our favourite bits. This week, we have chosen some of our favourite moments, be they funny, emotional or reflective, either from, about or inspired by episodes 1 - 4 of Heartstopper. So, settle in and enjoy!   If we have missed any of your best bits, t...

Thank you for your patience in waiting for this episode over the past weeks. We are very pleased to finally bring you this episode, but we begin this week by sharing some news with you all which will explain our absence. Just a few days after recording this upcoming episode, we very sadly lost our wonderful Sky. We feel that the upcoming episode highlights all that Sky had to offer us and the worl...

Lessons have been learned.   TW: Talk of dark, intrusive and potentially suicidal thoughts in the first 15 minutes of this week's episode.   We are so sorry that today's episode was affected by an audio issue which means it sounds far from its best, but we hope you might still enjoy our discussions about the first half of the final episode of this series, where we touch on all manner of topics inc...

It's all over?!   We conclude our conversations about episode 7 with discussions including pastoral support, Yasmin Finney representing and Wasia Project.   A great track for the playlist this week: Smokey Eyes by Lincoln   Come and find us on Insta: @aheartstopperpodcast and remember to show us your love as well be reviewing us on Apple Podcasts.  

We've all lost the ability to speak!   Yet, we will fight through our incoherence, and some very strong feelings, to begin a deep discussion about episode 7 where we touch on subjects including slurs, scary situations and calling out Converse!   Great tracks for the playlist this week: Bang, Bang, Bang by Lauran Hibberd Tired by Beabadoobee Any Other Way by Tomberlin   Come and find us on Insta: @...

The champ is here!   This week we round off our chat about episode 6 with topics including sharing secrets, safe spaces and the greatness of Mr. A!   There are two great tracks to add to your playlists: Knock Me Off My Feet by Soak Flirting With Girls by Sir Babygirl   Feel free to get in touch with us through our Insta: @aheartstopperpodcast and don't forget to leave a review on Apple Podcasts an...

We're going off on a tangent...   Join us as we venture around ALL of the houses in our discussions about, and inspired by, the first part of episode 6 including harmful heteronormality, confessions and shoe storage. TW: discussions about eating animals that may not be comfortable for dedicated animal lovers or those who choose not to consume animal products.   Join us over on our brand new, offic...

Tired and emotional...   The feelings are being felt hard as we wrap up episode 5, including discussions about generational acceptance, having someone's back and the benefits of journalling.   Songs for the playlist: Paper Mache World by Matilda Mann I Want To Be With You by Chloe Moriondo   If you want to help us to keep going, like, share and review on your podcast apps and please keep getting i...

It's getting complicated!   This week, we dive deep into the first half of Episode 5, while also veering wildly off topic! Expect yet more debate on binary fashion and school uniforms, the complexities of family relationships and Monopoly.   There are, as always some great tracks to add to your playlists (if you're able to): Urbanangel1999 by Thomas Headon If You Want by Beabadoobee Buzzkill by Ba...

We did it in one!     It's a slightly longer episode this week, but we managed to discuss Series 1 Episode 4 in full so we're feeling pretty pleased with ourselves! This week, we take on topics such as school survival games, giving people the time they need and 'she who must not be named' all whilst picking apart the episode that brings us to the halfway point of series 1.     Your new playlist tr...

IT'S ALL TOO MUCH! We have some very strong responses as we discuss the second half of episode 3. The conversation goes deep with talk about the daily fears for those living outside of the binary, finding your place in the world and yet more dirty shoes. Absolutely phenomenal songs to add to the playlist this week: Clearest Blue by Chvrches Alaska (Toby Green Remix) by Maggie Rogers Keep the love,...

Uh oh, we've done it again...   I think we just might have to accept that this is a thing. We had too much to say about episode 3, so we've cut it into 2 parts again. We get into it about multi-generational queer experiences, calling out hate speech and playing Mario Kart with Olivia Colman.   New tracks for the playlist are: My Own Person by Ezra Williams Telephone by Waterparks   If you're enjoy...

Why am I like this?   We wrap up our breakdown of episode 2 which means we finally get to discuss the song, and the moment, that have been haunting us for 2 weeks! We also talk queer representation on TV from the past 25 years, having friends you can be open around and punctuating text messages.   The iconic song from the end of this episode is: Why Am I Like This? by Orla Gartland.   Feel free to...

Thanks for coming back!   This week, we start discussing S1E2 of Heartstopper. We hit all manner of topics including LGBTQ+ education, an A* first date and how Charlie ties his shoes. But here's the kicker - we talked about SO much stuff that we ran out of time, so this is part 1 of a 2 part chat! You'll have to join us next week for the rest of our thoughts about this amazing episode.   In the me...

The journey begins...   The Yellow and Blue Crew sit down to talk all things S1E1 of Heartstopper.   Section 28, trans representation, 'fast' running - they're all up for discussion in this deep, deep dive into the first episode of the hit Netflix series.   If, like Luke, you're compiling a 'Music from Heartstopper' playlist then make sure you add these tracks: Want Me by Baby Queen Lovesick by Pe...

Thank you all so much for bearing with us. We look forward to being back with you next week!

Hey gang!   We're working hard to resolve a major issue. Don't worry about us, but do talk amongst yourselves while we get things back up and running.   Much love from the Y&B Crew
