Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

HEY CUTIE-CUTIES, we're back for more in '24 and we're in love, we're in love and we don't care who knows it! Before you get the ick, this isn't about our marriage, it's an incredible new three-part documentary series (as recommended by Natalie Gold - GOLD! Always believe in your soul - on last week's episode.)Plus, we talk to a YOUNGSTER. Yes, that's right: We cut across many demographics. It's Kat Sadler, creator and star of BBC Three's 'Such Brave Girls'. She's funny, she's talented, she's on the up and up - by rights we should hate her, but she's just so damned likeable. We're filing for adoption.Send us an email: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comProtect our credit rating: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHEdited by Annabel Port.

It's the festive perineum, and what do the other podcasts do? Phone-it-in with rehashed clips and lazy ask-us-anythings. Not us!

Succession's Justine Lupe and Natalie Gold, stand-up hero Nish Kumar, The Buccaneers' Katherine Jakeways, Breeders' Chris Addison and Full Circle's Ed Solomon all weigh in with TV picks. PLUS!

And an even longer one on Patreon.May your days be merry and bright!Love, F&N (neé S&G) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
