What a Barb! A Polin Podcast

Happy Wedding Eve, one and all. Yep, we’re swapping boughs of holly for bouquets of larkspur as Penelope and Colin finally nod their way down the aisle in Part 2 of our S3E7 rewatch. Following a late night of secret dealings, marriage counselling and a little horsing around, we’ll be wiping the dust from our eyes and taking our seats next to a gaggle of redheads for the nuptials of the season. Once we’ve joined Pen and Colin in holy matrimony, we’ll be admiring swan cakes and chasing jelly moulds before a royal gatecrasher puts our wedding night plans in peril. Let’s hope that sofa’s comfy, Colin. But if things are looking a little bleak for our newlyweds, then worry not. If we take a peek beneath the Christmas tree, we might just catch a glimpse of the happy couple kissing underneath the mistletoe. You know we love them so. * Show NotesComing soon

The worst reaction out of everyone in the ton? Well, he is a sensitive boy. With a secret out in the open and an engagement up in the air, we have our social calendar full this week as we begin our rewatch of S3E7 Joining of Hands. As we plan the most elaborate wedding breakfast of the season, we’ll be checking the diaries of the Smythe-Smith quintet, finding a hair tie for a heartbroken ponytail and taking a trip across town to check the marital status of an old friend. Elsewhere, we’ll be eavesdropping on a staircase confrontation between an uncommonly lucky Eloise and a commonly entrapped Colin, before baiting our nets to catch a sad little rainbow fish over at Featherington House. But beware, dearest listeners: we hear an imposter is on the loose. And gossip as we might, we cannot tolerate a lie. Isn’t that right, Penelope? *Show Notes Coming SoonWriters Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library: ⁠https://www.wgfoundation.org/⁠"Joining of Hands." Bridgerton. Written by Geetika Tandon Lizardi.

Hell is empty and the she-devil is here, dearest listeners. As Colin puts a ring on a very inky finger, we'll be joined by an impending sense of doom for our S3E6 rewatch of Deceiving - uh, we mean Romancing - Mister Bridgerton. We'll be chaperoning with Portia, matchmaking with widows and making an announcement of an announcement with a newly-betrothed Frohn. Elsewhere, Minster Hughes will be taking us to church for a reading of the banns, a Creloise break-up and an impromptu loved-up waltz. Seems like Sunday service is the perfect time for confession. Right, Pen? As we discover that ladies do not have dreams and Wills do not have bars, we'll be burning our life's work with Pen and burning the midnight with Colin and his...implements. And with the scribe herself ready for her big entrance, we'll be heading to the Mondriches for the revelation of the Season's greatest secret: a giant flowery Dalek. With a viper on the loose and a fiancé on our tails, we'll be grabbing our pens and carriages for a late night dash to the printers. But has anyone been keeping an eye on Colin? Prepare to unfold, Lady Whistledown. Your Mister Bridgerton is approaching. * Show Notes: Crumbs Coming Soon  Show NotesWriters Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library: https://www.wgfoundation.org/"Romancing Mr. Bridgerton."

Cinch your wrists, dearest listeners. The Season 4 crumbs are dropping faster than an unbuttoned glove on the Featherington tiles. Join us as we take a trip down the staircase to brush fingers with an enigmatic Lady in Silver, catch the eye of an enamoured Man in Mask and clutch our pearls at the sight of a scandalously bedazzled ankle.After spending the day redecorating with Colin, we’ll be grabbing our binoculars and maps to join a search party with a rather reluctant sibling. Thought your days of tracking down mysterious ladies were behind you, El? Think again, dear sister. And once the paint has dried at Featherington House, we’ll be masking up and stepping back into the ballroom to celebrate the return of everyone’s favourite Cheese Man and his bug-loving wife. Hold onto your banisters, everyone. The search for true love is only just beginning.*Show NotesTudum: Updated Bridgerton Season 4 article Instagram: @BridgertonNetflix TODAY Show: Interview with Shonda Rhimes *Follow UsPatreonInstagram⁠YouTubeTikTok⁠ 

Thank Goodness! A leak has sprung at Bridgerton House and we couldn’t be happier. To celebrate the unmasking of the Season 4 release dates, we’ll be tipping our gloves to the Dutch, hiking with the ducks and grabbing our baskets for a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt.* After drinking that brown liquor with a Bridgerton father figure, we’ll also be stopping by Romney Hall to scatter a few seeds with the Collector and search for a Lady in Silver standing amongst the roses. And if we happen to have a little Spare time on our hands? Well, perhaps we’ll borrow a Baronet’s tools to do a spot of raking around. With 7 reasons to love Benedict Bridgerton and only 116 days until we love Sophie Baek, the gloves are off and the countdown is on. Unmask true love? Don’t mind if we do.
