Our Lady Emma of Thompson

In episode 54, Rosie and Jessica have fulfilled a request by going on a literal Day of Fun. Rosie has cooked enormous lunches, Jessica’s been to a shindig and many knitted toys are on the horizon. Plus discussion of Over the Garden Wall and large amounts of cod. Wheel of cheese.

Jet and Frances Owens

In episode 51, Rosie and Jessica are celebrating three years of sororal broadcasting with a fortnight of having done almost nothing, except pick up some new, quite bad television. Then they bring you their Top 5 Sisters, including quite a lot of nuns in a particular order (Holy Orders.) Then Jessica reels off pi for a bit. Happy Birthday!

In episode 50, Rosie and Jessica have both had platonic Valentine’s weekends, inspiring a rundown of their Top 5 rom-coms.

Top 5 returns with their Top 5 Teen Movies, plus Needle and Fed, songs and a Snack of the Day which may just be some cake. This episode appears to be kindly supported by Eliza Dushku.

Episode 47: Pandas and Panini

Andrew Keegan

In episode 47, Rosie and Jessica once again take to the internet to record their annual start-of-year review-of-year episode. It’s mainly a quiz, which, as you may know, Jessica loves. Plus a round-up of the year as a whole, some Needle and Fed (largely mitten-based) and What Have We Seen This Week (oi!) This episode is brought to you by Andrew Keegan.

Operation Get Festive: Christmas Eve 2014

Here we are, our annual Christmas Eve tradition: Rosie and Jessica welcome special guest, their dad, to the podcast to bring you the Christmas tradition of a reading of Clement C. Moore’s ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas‘.

You’ll need a Yule log, the Muppet Christmas Carol and some smoked salmon sandwiches to complete the scene. A very merry Christmas from us to you.

Episode 46: Clavicles and Notions

In episode 46, Rosie and Jessica record via the medium of The Internet, so the sound quality is a little “rough and ready”. There’s been a veritable glut of exhibition-going, a fairly acerbic theatre review and rapturous reaction to a birthday tea. Plus a post-credit sequence that made our dad think Rosie was crying.
