The Fringe of It

It’s the big 1-0-0! Who’d have thought?! And to mark the occasion the girls’ are celebrating with a giddy high in a farm shop, the first Strictly discussion of the season and pondering one of parentings big questions: is it actually screen time when it’s plasticine? There’s a big trip to the Cotswolds (exhausting work), an introduction to the mother of all salmon lunches and an AI dessert that has truly pushed luddite-Liv over the edge (and she’ll happily stay there if any more fraudulent puddings appear). We also chat car pyjamas (a HUGE discovery) and get a little bit sentimental after so many hours nattering on air, thank you for being here, friends! REAL M&S snacks can be recommended at thefringeofit@gmail.com and Liv can also be hired as a wedding guest via the above, too. 

It’s Tuesday. It’s September. And according to Liv, porridge season is upon us! There’s been flirting with the thermostat, dreams of a UK tour and Charlotte’s love hate relationship with East Midlands Airport. Oh and Greggs. And Burger King. Oh and pastries. And toothbrushes too- okay maybe a few love hate relationships, but we promise there’s fun to be had!In the food department, there’s flattie thoughts, the finest food delivery you can get nationwide (HUGE) and in enormous developments Liv’s French peach syrup is making it’s way across the Channel- what a time to be alive! There’s also concern of Liv being banned from Five Guys, initial thoughts on Off Campus and why midnight feasts should be #banned. Please send your flattie cooking times, barmy backgrounds, porridge toppings and book recommendations to thefringeofit@gmail.com- thank you! See you next week for the big 100! 

This week we’ve gone international baby! Reporting live from Rab’s record room in France, Charlotte joins us from across the pond- bringing news of her broken Hugh Jackman virginity and lamenting the end of giant Babybels- a mixed day, if ever there was one. Back in the U.K Liv has some exciting news- and it’s not just about Mike updating his phone background to a rock formation, oh no! There’s talk of Top of the Pops and University Challenge (two new shows we’re *certain* you wouldn’t have heard of) and the girls ponder one of life’s big questions: what is it with men and Spinal Tap?Please send your hallmarks of a good cafe and best Hugh Jackman songs to thefringeofit@gmail.com. 

If you like your podcasts brimming with #hacks, #lifegoals and #tips to maximise on everything, perhaps you’ve actually come to the right place… Well, that is, if you like napping. Enter napmaxing! From Liv’s thrill of a Power Nap, to Charlotte desperately seeking time to lie down to a very big, and, ahem, important conversation on wearable tech- the girl’s are giving their best podcast bros! That is of course until Charlotte puts £50 in the washing machine cooking a prawn dinner, Liv begins singing the Sleepover Club theme tune and Agatha Christie comes up- oh well, they tried!There’s also late summer nectarine loving, an official cookie dough PSA and a love letter to the best new phone game in town (just prompt Liv into starting a leaderboard if you happen to get into it)…For prawn dish suggestions, lines for Charlotte’s film quote bank and other forgotten TV shows- please email thefringeofit@gmail.com- love you! 

It’s what, week 2 (week 4 current TFOI time) of the school break and Liv has no tan and a new vertical grey hair- happy holidays! It’s just what Enid Blyton would have wanted! This week, joined by a small whistling child (who will only come off air if rewarded with giant marshmallows) Charlotte and Liv channel their true Kermode and Mayo with, you guessed it, a Minion’s review (cue Liv bellowing ‘ILLUMINATION!’). It’s slick, it’s cutting edge. Charlotte also delves into a show making her a puddle of tears, a dessert that *could* have made her a puddle of tears (slight exaggeration) and a dress incident that nearly made Liv a puddle of tears too. And now for the whistle…Please share the wonderful films you’ve half finished and best prawn dishes to thefringeofit@gmail.com. Love you! 

Happy New Year! We're back! And only a cool 8 months after the Hootenanny aired, and Charlotte and Liv are back in you ears for more timely chat! Including (but never limited to) World Cup nonsense (which is good because it only finished about 4 weeks ago), a birthday trip (in May) around the Marks' food hall and the weather. Oh the weather! But! That's not all. Charlotte goes through her fan inventory (warning: it's big), there's talk of arguably *the* funniest show on TV and Liv realises she could have a tendency for the tiramisu shakes- it's all rock 'n' roll baby, but we like it! Thank you for having us back (again)- and thank you to lovely Sally for the title idea! Yes it's another come back, but ain't we glad about it! Please (if you'd like) feel free to email the postbag at thefringeofit@gmail.com!
