HI 🍂 Andi and I recorded this a while ago and I have just been having trouble with finding editing time. I am so sorry for the delay. But please enjoy us finishing Heartstopper Chapter Four! The gang is enjoying their time together in Paris, it's Tara's birthday, and Nick comes out to a room full of people! Also, as we were recording this, we got the news about Echo. I have cut it from the main episode but at the end you can hear us talk about how sad we are with the final page including Nellie. 😞 Join our Patreon for early access to episodes , live watches + more bonus content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tinyurl.com/WhyAreWePatreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you are enjoying the pod, please consider rating and reviewing on your preferred platform!

HI! So sorry this took so long. Please enjoy Andi, Zach, and myself jumping right back in where we left off last episode! Also thank you so much for going on this journey with me. I know coverage was quite a different vibe to the Heartstopper content you are used to from this pod. I appreciate all of you who continued to listen. And I am so happy that we met some new listeners along the way, as well! Welcome! I hope we all continue to enjoy the burgers and pasta together moving forward! 💙 Follow Andi: ⁠tinyurl.com/5abxzvaj⁠ Read Andi's fanfiction: ⁠tinyurl.com/6utrv58k⁠ Follow Zach: ⁠tinyurl.com/4xwtppew⁠ Zach's Substack: https://tinyurl.com/ymebmu5v Join our Patreon for early access to episodes + more bonus content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tinyurl.com/WhyAreWePatreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you are enjoying the pod, please consider rating and reviewing on your preferred platform!

WE'RE COMING TO THE COTTAGE! Andi and Zach join me for a lot of melting and jumping off emotional cliffs as we work our way through a little over half the season one finale! Of course, it had to be split in two recordings because we simply had too much to say. I hope you all enjoyyy! Shout out to Eli for the insight on the song from the car ride to the cottage! Here is the link to the youtube video for that, as promised-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9FDit6rgQI.

Helloooo everyone! I am joined by my friends KT, Lizzie, and Joe this week and we are back to talk all about the supportive female besties, The Tampa All Star Game Adventure, the iconic cottage invitation, THE monologue, and of course, the kiss that changed everything! I can’t believe we are already talking episode five! Stay tuned for a special bonus episode coming out soon where I got to chat with Bianca Nugara who plays Maria!  Follow Joe: tinyurl.com/3c3433wm Follow KT: inyurl.com/ynfassv4 Follow Lizzie: tinyurl.com/2r3ekw8k Join our Patreon for early access to episodes + more bonus content: ⁠⁠⁠tinyurl.com/WhyAreWePatreon⁠⁠⁠ If you are enjoying the pod, please consider rating and reviewing on your preferred platform!

Who is ready to have their heart stomped out?! I have my friends and Youtubers, Zachary Patton Garcia and Alastair Patton Garcia, with me to head to Boston for some steamy sex, tune melts, getting a little too vulnerable, and then leaving as quickly as possible. And then we head down to the club to break some hearts even further but hey, at least there's bisexual lighting! Also, we get our introduction to a true queen, Rose Landry! Once again, I am sorry for the barking in the last 20 minutes or so. My baby was not doing well when we recorded these last few episodes and hated being alone so he barked constantly. I cut as much of it as I could without taking away too much from the conversation. I appreciate y'all hanging in there with me while he was being loud.

Hi! I am back with Adam and Andi (Triple A status this time) to take a trip to the Big Apple and have some very gross looking smoothies! What a gem this episode is. We get to add Maria and Elena to the Girls Protecting the Gays Committee. We get a nice break from the horrible communication we have seen previously, as these two are just open and honest from jump. Also, shout out to Kip's dad for being the actual best ever? This is the longest episode WAWLT has ever put out so, buckle up! *Oh! And I apologize for the screaming cat in the background... My pets apparently have a lot to say about Heated Rivalry and are desperate to be involved in these recordings.

I am back with a brand new set of cohosts!! This episode I have Jeremy, Susan, and Aliza joining me to dive into flirty text montages, a sex scene far too tender to be casual, the emotional terror that is the Sochi Olympics, panic attacks in award show bathrooms, and crying in Vegas... again. So sorry for my elderly dog barking like mad from around minute 13 to around minute 40. You can only hear it when I talk and I tried to cut as much out as I could. He is seventeen and usually my partner is home to sit with him while I record but unfortunately for the first hour of this recording that was not an option. Here is the link to Ilya's perspective on Vegas from Rachel's website that is heavily referenced in the episode. Follow Jeremy! Follow Aliza! Follow Susan!

Oh, hello there. Welcome to our Heated Rivalry Discussions! This episode I have Ian Carlos Crawford and Chelsea King visiting Canada with me to meet our soulmate, head to the draft, form a rivalry, and then (naturally) start f*****g. [[Update: My tv is very old and I watched this episode on a friend's very nice new tv and was like omg, that is for sure NOT suite that Hayden is wearing. There's like a patterned stitch across the back that is not visible on my terrible tv. But it is still a nice outfit!]] Find Ian and all his things here. Find Chelsea here.

Hi! I am back with a new friend, Gloria, to chat about the Mental Health representation we get in the show and how important it is.

Hi! Here’s a really old recording I did with Alyssa continuing the comics! It was SO LOVELY to hear her voice again on the pod.🥹 (Note: this was recorded so long ago that we use the wrong pronouns for Darcy. They hadn’t canonically changed their pronouns yet. I am sorry about that!!) There’s a lot of background noise in this one and I am sorry for that, as well. It was clearly summer. There’s mowers going and kids yelling. And Alyssa moved near a fire station so we struggled with that too. BUT I hope you enjoy heading to Paris with the squad, watching the teachers flirt, learning Nick can speak French, and of course- Hickeys! Also, unfortunately we start to dig into Charlie’s struggles and start to discuss his disordered eating. So, it gets a bit heavy for a minute.

OH HI!! I have missed you so and I am so glad to be back! I have Sabrina with me to wrap up season three with our overall thoughts, favorite scenes, and reading out your emails! Adam was unable to join us but he sent in his thoughts so you will get to hear him in this episode, as well! There is a weird clipping every now and then thanks to my internet connection the day we recorded this over zoom. My apologies for those moments! I am leaving the schedule just a bit open here in the beginning, as I am about to head out to London for a week. I didn't want to delay the pod return any longer though, so I am moving forward with putting this one out on time! Thank you all for hanging in here with me while I took the much needed long break for the summer. I appreciate you all!! I hope you enjoy two hours of us gabbing season three!

HI. After scheduling conflicts and a week long sickness, I present to you OUR FINAL episode on Heartstopper the show?! I sobbed writing a little message for the top of this episode and had to just read it word for word to keep from sobbing on mic. lololol We are diving into Uni trips, buying sex supplies, the summer fete, and boyfriend sleepovers. This might be one of the longest eps we have released but with it being the final show discussion, I figured the length would be welcomed! I also included the book watch I forgot to add in the last episode. And obviously, you will hear the final book watch of the season with Kate! Big thank you to Kate for helping us out with that segment this season and for being so truly on top of the book count and analysis for this series! I also want to thank you all for being here and going on this journey with me. Talking about this show that means so much to us all with so many of you has been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions and I have loved every second of it. I hope you enjoy this episode and I look forward to continuing on with the graphic novels while we wait for the film!!
