Why Are We Like This: A Heartstopper Podcast

Hi!

(This is another super long one. I had some major  technical difficulties in the editing process and it took me literal ages. I am now three hundred and forty-seven years old as I type this out for you. Please excuse the animals you can hear in the background sometimes and the entire last 40 minutes or so is only very roughly edited because it just kept freezing so I had to save my sanity and release control over the quality a bit. There's definitely more "uhm's" and more general background noise than usual. My deepest apologies! -Ash)

We are headed back to where it all began- SCHOOL! Tao is so extremely mopey. Isaac has had enough and finally explodes. Tara is really feeling the burnout. We get some birthday shenanigans at the zoo. THE memory photo album makes an appearance. And then we all lay down in the fetal position and have a good collective cry. We are talking Heartstopper season three episode three “Talk!”

Who's ready to go be really sad in Menorca?! 🫠

(Heads up, I was sick when we recorded this. You can hear it in my voice but also there is some real heavy breathing sometimes because I simply could not breathe through my nose. Apologies! -Ash)

Darcy moves in with their Gran who is a LEGEND. Nick heads off on holiday with his Aunt Diane who is ALSO a legend. Tao and Elle are absolutely insufferable while Isaac is left third wheeling. Charlie isolates himself and Tori can't stop herself from investigating. Ash gets confused both about the geography and car horns. And Adam tells us how he really feels about Jane. We are talking Season Three Episode Two Home!

Hiiii!!!!!

(First, I just want to note that we use the wrong pronouns for Darcy several times in this recording. We do much better moving forward in the season. Apologies for the mistakes!! Also, you can hear my dog barking a couple of times. He is old and does what he wants.)

Season three begins!! "Charlie wants to say I love you." Tao is planning the most romantic summer he can possibly pull off. Darcy hates gender. Ashley mistakes VHS tapes for books (as if she doesn't still have at least 50 vhs tapes) and gets overly excited for hand fan representation. Adam waxes poetic about the ocean kiss and firmly states his opinion on the vest vs tank debate. We are talking Heartstopper Season Three Episode One "Love!!"

Hi!

I am THRILLED to give you the kick off episode for our season three coverage! I am so ready to get into this season. I have been watching it on repeat and crying nonstop. This is just an intro ep where Adam and I talk a bit about the season as a whole and what we loved about it, a little of what we would have changed, how certain things translated over from the comics to the show, the music, and just general squealing about getting to finally jump into this season! We are working on a recording schedule now so we will be back very soon with a better idea of when to expect episode one to drop. I am going to try to get us back on the biweekly schedule, so we will record a couple of episodes and then I will start to roll them out for y'all. I am also really excited to have Sabrina Ryan joining me for a few episodes, as well! Thank you all for being patient and understanding as we have gone through this transition! Enjoy this intro episode and we will be back asap to squeal about LOVE!!!!

Hi!

We have returned to wrap up our season two music discussion JUST IN TIME for season three! There is some chaos in this one. Some unavoidable shenanigans, if you will. Alyssa was only able to join us for a short bit and Kass had to join us late but fear not! Everyone got their thoughts in, Alyssa still does their Ur So Pretty analysis, every song is a perfect choice, and we are all emotional about everything. HAPPY SEASON THREE WEEK!!! We hope you enjoy this final s2 episode!

Hi!

We are back with our comic coverage! (As you will hear, this chapter is so thick that we decided to split it into 3 parts. This episode covers all of the pre Paris bits!)

Alyssa has an exciting announcement at the top! Then we dive into extreme flirting, sex ed class, getting caught kissing at school, Charlie opening up to Nick about his past, prepping for Paris, and the difficulties of trying to come out!

Helloooo!

We waited until they were all out to chat about the new promo clips we got. So here we are to talk all about the gang living their best lives on NYE, Michael freakin Holden, and our boys being the cutest ever. We also talk about the cast clips we got in the stories from Pride! I do think I messed up saying Leila played the drums- I am 99% sure it was Cori. Also, please enjoy their sandwich choices making Alyssa very sick. Haha! (The account mentioned that has these posted is @wherethefismycokezero)

HI!

How are we all doing? Everyone still breathing?? We are sooooo excited to chat about the stills we got earlier this week! This was kind of a last minute decision so it's a little chaotic. We get all of the couples being adorable, Charlie and Tori making our hearts swell, Isaac giving us a book watch right away, FREAKING OLIVER SPRING?! And last but not least, we get our hearts completely destroyed by Nick and Charlie individually. Send help.

Well, hello there! This bonus ep is super fun and we are so excited to share it with you! We are joined by freelance writer, Tariq Raouf to discuss the shows adults. We focus mostly on the queer adult  journeys we get in season two with Mr. Ajayi and Mr. Farouk. However, we also touch on the lessons the show offers parents, teachers, friends, and family of LGBTQIA+ folks and the importance of unconditional love and safe spaces regardless of sexuality. We also heavily discuss an article Tariq wrote for IGN, which is linked below. As you will hear, we highly recommend giving it a read!
