Note from Future Rachael: No you are not back on schedule babe but don't worry about it x

Uhmmm sorry for the tiny hiatus! Rachael turned 30 and bought a house literally within 9 days of each other and fell off the radar a bit. This is Rachael typing in 3rd person btw not Corey being passive aggressive.

You can tell when I (Rachael) do the show notes because they are literal chaos....

Anyway here's the things we mentioned and we promise to make up for the gap in scheduling with a special treat.....

Look at us, eh? Gracing your Monday morning feeds. What a treat to wake up to! Enjoy us in your ear-holes on the way to work, eating your breakfast or going on your morning jog (you know you don't have to do that, right?)

We're a week late but we're sorry and the audio isn't a mess so that's gotta count for something....

This week we're talking about Fiona Donohue's interview on Anything Goes with James English, Jonathan Van Ness's appearence on Jameela Jamil's iWeigh and the life of Yeonmi Park. What if Bill and Hilary hadn't gotten married? Curtis Sittenfeld's novel, Rodham, examines just that. We decide IF we're lovin' "And Just Like That" and we discuss burnout and the childhood trauma caused by Dame Jacqueline Wilson...

It's a little late- it's still good, it's still good!*

*It's a nerdy Simpsons reference, guess who did the show notes this week....

This week we're crying over mic quality again (sorry!!) and wondering how to kick off an episode candidly. We talk catfishing and swindling for Corey's reccommendations. Are we weird for wanting authors we've never met to be friends with us? And remember when we thought 30 year olds were real life adults??!

And we’re back! Welcome to Season 2 of Who Ya Lovin’? It’s so good to be rating all of our favourite shows, books and podcasts again. I can’t really explain it…I haven’t got the words!

This week we’ve both been loving Emily in Paris season 2#letpeopleenjoythings & Rachael has found a gem she describes as the “SATC but the college years”…

Our throwback is on all things cringeworthy that may have made it to social media in our younger years and our topic this week: well, it wouldn’t be January without mention of some resolutions.

The sunshine is here and we’ve come to the end of Season 1 ahead of our big summer blowouts!

Our reading this week includes a book of bite-sized therapy for millennials by Sarah Crosby as well as a fictional memoir-type by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

We have 2 no-nonsense podcasts, Pandora Sykes’ ‘Pieces of Britney’ and the Irish Times’ ‘The Women’s Podcast’.

We’ve watched Anna Kendrick in Love Life which tells the story of first love to lasting love and Michaela McCollum in High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule in which she tells her version of her arrest and time served.

Rachael theorizes on the houses all of us inherit at birth; and our finale special topics include a show and tell and a one-off “What Ya Hating?” segment (disclaimer: it’s very first-world problems-esque). Be cotton or be nothing?

Massive thank you for everyone for listening this season and massive appeal also to send us some of your pet peeves @whoyalovinpod on Twitter

Welcome back to Who Ya Lovin?

How are we on Episode 9 already?!

Is it Alma Mate-er or Alma Matt-er? And what are "cute tights", Rachael? We only ask the real, hardhitting questions here in the show-notes.

We review the Netflix Original Movie, Fatherhood as well as BBC's Time; Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers and The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave; and two of our new favourite podcasts- A Bit of A Mouthful and The Food Medic Podcast.

Our throwback this week explores whether it's possible to have hobbies as an adult or is it just, y'know, living your life- cooking isn't a hobby, it's a chore, babe.

Finally we wonder how anyone can look stylish after 18 months away from society- we don't know how to dress anymore!

Welcome to our first face to face recording of Who Ya Lovin? The excitement was real!

This week we discuss the present day work-life balance battle faced by millennials and Gen Zers alike. We share the things our younger selves considered as “notions”, and those we still stand by today.

For our topic this week, we’re talking about society’s heightened awareness nowadays thanks to social media and in particular the wave of bloggers/influencers who’ve taken to sharing their pregnancy/ birth journeys online.

Welcome to Who Ya Lovin? Episode 6- Return of the Tinny Audio (sorry!)

This week we have another podcast recommendation for the foodies; a show for fans of The Night Stalker and we dip our toes in the sea of Greek Myths & Legends.

We discuss that characteristically female-friendship occurrence where we try at length to avoid conflict and how things can eventually over-boil (sometimes into full-scale fights involving blocks of cheese!).

We discover the #bookstagram community & in our throwback we share our experiences of State Exams and the accompanying pressures. Tip: do your best & don't sweat the small stuff!!! #sayitlouderforthepeopleintheback

“Hot Girl Summer”, The Residual Trauma of P.E. Class & Why Everyone Needs To Watch Promising Young Woman

This week on Who Ya Lovin Episode 5, as well as some nostalgia-inducing recommendations in the form of an OC podcast and the latest season of Reeling In The Years; we are imploring everyone and their mother to watch Carey Mulligan in Promising Young Woman.

We chat about what it means to be “cool” and share our feelings on ‘Hot Girl Summer’ (spoiler: mute) as lockdown eases.

Our throwback takes us to P.E. class- everything from the dress-code, the regulations and how it has impacted our attitude to exercise- let us know your thoughts!

Welcome to Episode 4 of Who Ya Lovin? Not wanting to jinx us but we think we’re finally getting there with the sound settings.

A podcast of two Irish millennial women putting the world to rights, obviously.

This week we discuss world economics through the gaze of Cadbury Freddos; how TV can be satisfying even when it’s not substantial; and is it a war of married women vs singles? (see Carrie Bradshaw’s metaphor that we dare not repeat...)

Welcome to Episode 2 x Take 2 of Who ya Lovin? - This week we're recommending a few Irish podcasts to keep you entertained and we weigh in (impartially of course) on the interview that we are well aware has already been dissected to the death. We touch on Rachael's stage school stint, the universality of trolling and the parallels of Meghan & the "firm" and the modern workplace. We also talk the overnight decline of DVDs & CDs (RIP bonus features) & the mood lifting magic of those post-lockdown plans- whenever that may be- the extravagant and the banal!

Welcome to Who ya Lovin? - In our debut we share what's been keeping us entertained in recent weeks, including the unmissable podcast every SATC fan needs to hear. We talk getting our kicks out of recognizing filming locations onscreen & how it impacts our viewing experience. We reminisce on our earliest social media days of sharing the loves and top 16s following the news of Bebo's 2021 reboot. And, the burning question; do loose lips sink ships? Or do they simply just make you kick yourself for maybe slightly possibly oversharing?
