The Weekly Crumb - Issue #7: What an Eagerly Awaited Visit [First Kiss Reaction and Promo Discussion]

5/9/2024
The embargo has lifted. The promo floodgates have opened. Let's just say we've been awaiting this particular visit for a very long time. During our crumbs-about-crumbs, we'll be greeting Pen in the Bridgerton entrance hall, celebrating a cheese-loving brother-in-law and gulping down Colin's emotional support beverage. Thirsty times indeed. And though we’re fresh off the boat from Paris, we find ourselves packing our thermals and ear muffs ready for a little voyage to the...uh, Antarctic. We sure about that, Pen? Before we set sail, let's take a quick detour back to the Featherington gardens to ask one tiny little life-changing question. After all, dear listener: one kiss is all it takes. * Spoiler Information Full episode discusses recent promo with details of characters, storylines and scenes from both Part 1 and Part 2.

The Weekly Crumb - Issue #6: What a Remarkable Shade of Yearning [New Promo & Carriage Teaser Speculation]

5/3/2024
"Sweet May hath come to love us, Pen, Colin, their carriage don; And through Netflix heavens above us, The very clowns clown on.” Welcome to May. Welcome to chaos. We'd tell you to get in the circus tent but this one's already occupied by Pen's finger lickin' good crumb and the final shred of Colin's sanity. In this emergency Weekly Crumb, we'll be sprinting outside palaces with Colin, wiping the tears away from a distressed Enchanted Pen and squinting very hard at blurry pieces of paper. The more things change, eh? Get the carriage cleaning crew at the ready, Footman John. Things are about to get rocky. * SPOILER WARNING: This episode is based entirely on newly released promo but involves discussion of fan theories and possible spoilers, including potential script excerpts. * Show Notes First For Women: Interview with Nicola Coughlan TV Line: Interview with Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton (Part 1, via Twitter) ⁠TV Line: Interview with Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton (Part 2, via Twitter)⁠ Reddit: Theories about Episode 4 script Reddit: Main new teaser Reddit: Hand injury clip Reddit: Tent and market clips Reddit: Osterley Colin at Full Moon Ball clip * Follow Us ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠ ⁠YouTube

Episode 43 - Rereading Mister Bridgerton: What a Gluey State of Mind [Ch 18 - Epilogue]

4/24/2024
Pritt Sticks at the ready, dear listeners. It's the morning after the night before and we've got a lot on our breakfast plates. In the last of our book reread episodes, we'll be sneaking an extremely dishevelled Penelope back to Mayfair, hastily moving up the dates of a small but magical wedding and taking a quick trip to some oddly brown Highlands. And as our beloved newly-weds find themselves in a rather sticky situation, we'll be stopping by The National Archives to enquire just how many cows one tiny blackmail plot can get you. Worry not, dear listeners. Because just when it seems all has come unstuck, we have a feeling one assuredly, fervently, loudly tack-tic might just swoop in to save the day.

Episode 42 - Rereading Mister Bridgerton: What a Long Way Home [Chapters 12-17]

4/20/2024
Get up, dear listeners. We're taking you to church. In our third reread episode, we'll be chasing hired hacks down Fleet Street, contemplating the logistics of carriage-based activities and indelicately faceplanting onto the streets of Mayfair. We'll also be turning up bright and early to the Tuesday Featherington family meeting, fetching watercolours with Felicity and staring out of rainy windows with a plate of smoked salmon sandwiches. And as a triumphant engagement ball turns sour, we'll be rummaging in the drawers for candles and moments of realisation. Because, dear listeners, this was Penelope and this was love. But be warned: this kitten has claws and she's not afraid to use them. * Show Notes Change.org: Petition to change the S3 poster and tie in cover of Romancing Mister Bridgerton ⁠Time Out: Bridgerton in Bowral⁠ Vanity Fair: Interview with Jess Brownell YouTube: Cast reading The Duke and I [Source of Luke Newton's "don't" clip] Twitter: Nana_Banana_Art fanart of church scene Available Internationally: Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn (Pikatus, ISBN: 978-0349429458) * Follow Us Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠ TikTok⁠ YouTube

Episode 41 – Rereading Mister Bridgerton: What a Better Part of Five Minutes [Chapters 6-11]

4/14/2024
Pack your bandages and earplugs – curtain’s up on the most melodious event of the season. Mozart, stand down. Lou Bega’s got this one under control. In the second of our read-along episodes, we’ll be making puddles with Colin, taking First Aid lessons from Penelope and dipping our thermometers in half-hour old bath water. Ahead of the weekend, we’ll be spending an unremarkable day sampling lemonade, squinting at inkstains and getting a little too excited on Mount Street. She kissed him on a Friday, dear listeners. And it was glorious. (And probably tasted like cheese.) * Show Notes Available Internationally: Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn (Pikatus, ISBN: 978-0349429458) YouTube: Bridgerton Season 3 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4JYAx5rNRA * Follow Us Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/whatabarbpod/ ⁠ ⁠ TikTok⁠: https://www.tiktok.com/@whatabarbpod⁠ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhataBarbPod

Episode 40 - What a Way to Get Carried Away! [Bridgerton Season 3 Trailer Reaction and Discussion]

4/13/2024
Up, up, up and away, dearest listeners! It’s time to soar into the S3 trailer heavens at long last. As our ship docks back in London, we’re trading sea for air as we float above Mayfair alongside an extraordinary balloon, a winged god and a sleepy-but-sturdy Bridgerton. We’ll be enjoying splendid weather with Lord Wilding, laughing in the library with Blue Pen and attempting a little archaeological excavation of a broken Grecian column. And as our leading man pulls the Uno Reverse card from the chaotic deck of romance tropes, we’ll be keeping our lanterns close-by as a tiny flame finally takes flight. Rejoice, dear Polin fans. The lights are on and Colin Bridgerton’s home. * Show Notes YouTube: Bridgerton Season 3 trailer Vanity Fair: Article about Cressida and Eloise Shondaland: Season 3 trailer article + 7 new stills History of Balloons: Montgolfier Brothers - The Montgolfière-style Hot Air Balloon WikiArt: Le ravissement de Psyche, William-Adolphe Bouguerau (1895) * Follow Us Instagram⁠ TikTok⁠ YouTube

Episode 39 - What a Hands-On Courtship! [Penelope & Debling Promo Reaction]

4/10/2024
Hold onto your hats, dance cards and wallflowers, dearest listeners. It's time to discuss the Season 3 promo that has wrought such chaos into our lives that even Book Colin would blush. We'll be taking a trip to Hyde Park for a startling encounter on a blanket, having our dance cards filled by a hands-on Vegetarian and swooning over the long-awaited appearance of Enchanted Pen. And if you're missing our dear thirdborn Bridgerton, then worry not. It seems a Wallflower's shoulder has finally defrosted thanks to the trailing hand of a much-loved pirate. Hold on tight, Polinators. The Social Season is almost upon us and a splendid plan is underway.

Episode 38 - Rereading Mister Bridgerton: What a Puddle of Mud [Prologue - Chapter 5]

4/6/2024
She fell in love first. He fell into a mud puddle harder. Join us for the first of our read-along episodes as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of Book Polin’s love story! We’ll be taking a fatefully muddy ride through Hyde Park, uniting in the glee of matchmaking mamas everywhere and putting up the wet floor signs to mop up a rather concerning blob of Chantilly cream. And as those April showers sprinkle their way across London, we’ll be taking our black parasols for a bittersweet trip across Berkeley Square as we head for afternoon tea with a very special Lilac Pen.

Episode 37 – What a Whey to Look in a Mirror! [Polin Mirror Promo Reaction]

3/30/2024
Just put your hand on the glass, dear listeners. It’s time to reflect on the latest Polin mirror-cle. We’re starting with the gentleman in the mirror as he finally gets around to crossing off his two-hundred-year-old to-do list, before catching up with his good friend Pen and a most hardworking pair of fingerless gloves. Meanwhile, Necklace Truthers arrive from across the fandom to ask the most important question of all: Mirror, Mirror in Pen’s room, is that her necklace from Tudum? And just as our looking glasses are getting a little too steamed up, we find ourselves plunged into the Arctic Tundra courtesy of one very cold shoulder from a less-than-impressed wallflower. Has all that Gruyère-ling self-reflection worked up an appetite, Mr Bridgerton? Well, do Comté the kitchens for a spot of evening caseiculture with Beans. Cheesemaking on a Polin podcast? You’d feta find a whey to brie-lieve it. * Show Notes Twitter: Mirror Polin promo clip (widescreen version) Twitter: Cold Shoulder Polin promo clip Sherwin Williams: Tame Teal colour profile Reddit: December promo filming speculation by u/lechimeric Reddit: Fan prediction of Mirror Promo RedBubble: Shop Flamedork’s Polin fanart * Follow Us Instagram⁠ TikTok⁠ YouTube

The Weekly Crumb - Issue #5: What a Cuppa Tea [New Polin Sightings and Promo Reactions]

3/27/2024
Pop the kettle on, the Brits are coming round for a cuppa. We’ll be nibbling on a plate of Season 3 crumbs, including the current whereabouts of Colin’s emotional support curl, Penelope’s secret garden and the passing of some very special torches. We’ll also be swinging by the drawing rooms of Grosvenor Square to squint at more blurry leaks and brew up a few loose leaf tea-ories about our favourite Regency nerds. But who’s that swirling amongst the Earl Grey? Have we been sipping on a certain Greek elixir or is Colin Bridgerton just pleased to see us? Drink up, dear listeners. After all, he’s just our cup of tea. * Show Notes IG: @barbiesimons promo BTS with Nicola Coughlan IG: @barbiesimons promo BTS with Luke Newton IG: @barbiesimons promo BTS with Claudia Jessie, Ruth Gemmel and Hannah Dodd Reddit: Tea Colin IG: @Bridgertonnetflix Passing the Torch with Simone Ashley and Nicola Coughlan IG: @Bridgertonnetflix Passing the Torch with Jonathan Bailey and Luke Newton London Live: Interview with James Phoon (via Reddit) Capital FM: Nicola Coughlan interview clip (via Reddit) The One Show: Nicola Coughlan interview clip (via Reddit) RHS: The Bridgerton Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show Channel 4: Big Mood * Follow Us Instagram⁠ ⁠ ⁠ TikTok⁠ YouTube

Honk, honk. It’s clown time! But this time, let’s make it seasonal. Join us as we live react to Next on Netflix’s trailer-that-wasn’t and head to the Danbury Ball for a sneak peek of Season 3. We’ll be clinging to the corners of the ballroom with a very sad wallflower, throwing back cocktails with the Lord Squad and twirling around the dance floor with a loved-up Viscountess. And as we sip on our lemonades, we can’t help but wonder if It's Too Late for a certain Bridgerton to get to the ball on time or if he’s still hanging around that box of biscuits in Milan. Hurry home, Colin. There's a season for you to lead. All four of them, in fact. * Show Notes YouTube: Season 3 Danbury Ball sneak peek Shondaland: Sneak peek article Soundcloud: ‘Cougar Town’ by South 4 Reddit: Theory about Penelope’s missing hair piece by u/springgirl27 * Follow Us Instagram⁠ TikTok⁠ YouTube

Pasta lovers, pack your bags. We're off to Milan. But forget the Duomo and gelato, we're here to visit the Number 1 tourist attraction: Loved Up Polin in an Italian department store. As the Necklace Truthers hold an emergency meeting over the joining of two very special hands, the rest of us attempt to become experts in graphology to decipher the mind of one charming, funny and sincere pirate. But rejoice, one and all. For Colin Bridgerton has finally taken his place at the side of his beloved: a box of Cook's famous butter biscuits. True love, united at last. Oh, look. Hey Pen!

Splish splash, it’s time to take a Bath! Lather up the bars of soap and pack your excavation trowels because we’re travelling back to January and February 2023 for our penultimate Season 3 crumbs expedition. We’ll be throwing a welcome home party for a (temporarily) triumphant wallflower, chasing a hackney carriage through the frosty streets of Mayfair and carrying out a most sacred task: checking up on Colin’s emotional support curl. Elsewhere, we find ourselves enchanted by a British morning TV show, swooning over 0.2 milliseconds of a Polin dance and peering through the fog as a Regency romance accidentally masquerades as a Gothic horror novel. Caution: watch out for flying top hats.

Stop the press! We have a new Pen sighting on our hands. Well, on our t-shirts at least.

Our Fashion Correspondents will also be on standby to catch up with the ton's next top models: Anthony Bridgerton, Double Daisy Pen and the breakthrough talent of the season, gossamer cobwebs. Has it really come to a point where a 90s t-shirt is considered breaking news? Well, dear listeners, it's probably best not to pull at that particular thread. Let's just sleeve it at that.
