The Way They Were

How could this episode of TWTW be anything less than a bumper edition when it's got comedian Laura Lexx AND the erstwhile true love of JENNIFER ANISTON AND BRAD PITT?! Chantal (@chancentrate) and Gráinne (@grannymaguire) had no choice but to give this one the extra time, as Laura regresses back to the real-life fairytale of Brad and Jen. But alas, no one told her life was gonna be this way, when our Prince Charming fell off his white horse into the waiting arms of the Wicked Queen Herself.., Angelina Jolie...But has the luxury of passing years softened our cold, judgemental hearts towards Ange? Was it Jen's book club that drove Brad to form Brangelina? Did Brad ever date Sinitta, or is it an elaborate government hoax? All these questions and more are pondered by the best love detectives in town...Follow Laura - @lexxlauraFollow us - @thewaytheywerepodcast (Insta) @thewaytheywere pod (Twitter) Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello and welcome to this episode of TWTW and have Grainne (@grannymaguire) and Chantal (@chancentrate) got a treat for you? That's obviously a rhetorical question because their fantastic guest is the wonderful comedian and actor David Mills! As if that weren't enough, he came armed with a box of delights that is the lost love of Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche! Yep, it's a 90s thing, so put on your white, trouser suit and fantasize what a typical date with what is arguably the first famous lesbian couple would have been.Help us marvel at what a big deal it was for our trailblazers to be stepping out together, when perhaps more eyebrows should have been raised at Anne's previous relationship to the one with Ellen ... but like I said, it's a 90s thing.Who thrived and who survived? The answer may not be as obvious as you think...Follow David - @davidmillsdeptFollow us - @thewaytheywerepodcast (Insta) @thewaytheywere pod (Twitter) Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the first flurry of episodes of The Way They Were! In this edition, Grainne and Chantal welcome you to join them to celebrate the lost love of the king and queen of Juicy Couture, Cheryl Tweedy, and Ashley Cole!And the guest taking us back to the days of ghetto fabulous and dubious self-tanning choices is comedian and writer, Athena Kugblenu! Yes, thanks to Athena, we get to cast our memories back to the days before Cheryl's name became too long for an autocue and Ashley still lived in a flat (Why?? He was a multi-millionaire... BUY A HOUSE).We walk through the early days of that erstwhile love affair and those first faltering texts Ashley sent to woo the nation's sweetheart (Silvia Plath he ain't) and find, ultimately who thrived and who just survived after the relationship. Also, each week Chantal and Grainne will be asking the guest to come up with the perfect life partner for a very special single megastar and Athena's suggestion shouldn't work, but just does.
