Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

Our final episode semi-recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, and Sara thinks it's the 2nd best interview we've ever done. Geoff is more circumspect about making those kind of statements, but you're in for a treat: Comedian Matt Forde talks about his new show "The End of an Era Tour', and this tumultuous past year of his life. Plus, if you're here for the Hermitage of Braid content, good news! There's an arguably overly-long anecdote about the Hermitage of Braid.Email: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHEditor: Annabel Port

It's the second of our summer specials where we talk TV with the most dazzling comedians at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Today, it's Pierre Novellie. This guy has standup as good as Seinfeld, and he has just published a truly, genuinely we-mean-it brilliant book about receiving an autism diagnosis at the age of thirty-one. Plus America's sweethearts, the DCC - if you know, you know - and if you don't, you soon will. Also: Sara exhibits her most British behaviour to date. See Sara's show, 'Anything For You' at the Edinburgh Fringe: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/sara-barron-anything-for-youThen see Pierre's show, 'Must We?': https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/pierre-novellie-must-weAnd once you've done all that, read Pierre's book: https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Pierre-Novellie/Why-Cant-I-Just-Enjoy-Things--A-Comedians-Guide-to-Autism/29646545Send flotsam and jetsam downstream: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comLet the river flow: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHDam built by: Annabel Port

Sara's at the Edinburgh Fringe - or is she? So, it's the first of our summer specials where we talk TV with the festival's most dazzling comedians. Today, it's Jessie Cave. We loved her previous Edinburgh show, Sunrise, and she's back at the Fringe with *two* shows, An Ecstatic Display and a work-in-progress with her partner/ex (delete as applicable) and baby-pappa, Alfie Brown. You may know Jessie from her many TV appearances and acting roles, or as Lavender Brown in various Harry Potter movies and other I.P. She's funny, she's insightful, she's candid, and she's got all the talent. It's all very triggering to Sara, but she'd still like to be Jessie's BFF.See Sara at the Fringe: https://bit.ly/3vRVCw3A more gracious podcaster would have linked to Jessie's Fringe shows first: https://bit.ly/jtltw and https://bit.ly/jtltw2Email us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comReduce the debt Sara is accruing in Edinburgh: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHEdited by Annabel Port https://annabelport.substack.com/

Summer vibes, everyone! SUMMER VIBES. We're bridging out of usual vibes into summer vibes. We spoke this week to HOLLYWOOD INSIDER Mark Monroe, about being Hollywood's go-to documentary doctor. You'll be unsurprised to hear we think he really liked us. Plus chat on living separately - we're not divorced, but have we mentioned Sara's up in Edinburgh? - and your usual email contributions. PLUS our podcast plans for the remainder of the summer. Email us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comHelp Sara pay for a deep clean of the carpets: patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by Annabel Emily P.

Sara is deep in Edinburgh Fringe preparation, so it's a basic bitch episode: You'll get our guest, you'll get your email, then we're OUT. Not that our guest is a basic bitch, she's a real lady (like Easy V, who doesn't come for free.) She is Camilla Whitehill, creator of Channel 4's 'Big Mood'.Be Sara's penpal while she's away in Edinburgh: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comMake the tiniest of dints in the debt Sara will accrue at the Fringe: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHEdited by Hamble 'Annabel' Port

For the first time in forty-five years, Sara watched football. Despite how momentous this was, she was forbidden from using the experience for her Quick Watch. Instead, she did what all good women do when their husbands TRY TO CONTROL THEM: a pivot to Rashida Jones. Also we talk to the laser-sharp and truly hilarious Michelle de Swarte, whose new show Spent is out now!Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comHelp us help our refrigerator: patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by Naughty Porty from Number 40. Thanks to Patreon darling Miriam for recommending 'Sunny'

Happy one-year anniversary to They Like to Watch! To celebrate, we completely forgot until our sweetest listener emailed to remind us.We visit the Sperm Kings, as a couple, but then go our separate ways for Nordic Noir and Rylan Clark. Try to guess who chose what. We also talk to the truly hilarious Amy Gledhill about her excellent Blap - BLAP! - Toads. Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comGive us the anniversary gift we actually want: patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by Tom's baby momma, Annabel Port: https://annabelport.csubstack.com/*** Sorry it's late, there was a horrible outbreak ***
