• WINE! How to order it. How to enjoy it! (with Angus O'Loughlin)

  Wine is something a lot of us enjoy, but not many of us feel super confident ordering. And given that wine can often play a big part in setting the mood when it comes to dating, love and romance I thought I'd invite my friend and co-host of Got Somme podcast Angus O'Loughlin on to help take the stress out of ordering and enjoying wine. You'll learn some amazing tips and tricks for navigating a tricky wine menu, keeping within budget and ultimately avoiding a wine fail, whether you're at the bottle-o or a fancy restaurant.

• What Frozen has taught as about LOVE.

  You'd be forgiven for only associating the Disney film 'Frozen' with earworms, Elsa costumes and the 1hr 42 minutes of peace you can enjoy while the kids watch it This week however, the clever and insightful Damaris Treasure returns to discuss the fact that FROZEN MIGHT BE THE ULTIMATE SELF HELP MANUAL FOR LOVE! We also have an in-depth discussion at the end about the hottest male cartoon characters and I think it might be the most important moment in 70+ episodes of Hopeless Romantics.

• Quickie: Did Adam Brody give us the best TV kiss of 2024?

  If our full episodes are a deep dive, consider this more of a dip of the toe. Maybe a waist-deep wade? We are less than TWO WEEKS away from the return of 'Nobody Wants This', the show that was easily my watch of 2024. In this quickie, we deep dive what could possibly be the best kiss in recent TV history. The full episode can be found in season 1 episode 21!

• Clint Randell reflects on 17 years of marriage and the power of doing 'the work'.

  Clint Randell is a very recognisable face and name here in NZ where he's fronted TV and radio shows for well over a decade. But when I think of Clint, the first word that comes to mind is 'family'. Clint is a man who takes any opportunity to talk about his beautiful wife and two kids, and it is a joy to watch him parent, and a joy to see his eyes twinkle every time someone mentions Jaime. This is perhaps the most vulnerable and honest you've ever heard Clint, as we have a long conversation about finding his faith and his future wife in his early twenties, and how the two were inexplicably intertwined. I want to thank Clint for being so honest about the joys and also the really tough parts of his 17 year marriage, and I want to thank his amazing wife Jaime for allowing their story to be told. Ultimately, this conversation highlights the importance of doing 'the work', and how redemption is possible if both people are willing to get honest, raw, and commit to a better future. I love you both very much, and I know this conversation will touch a lot of people, as it did me (I literally sob around thirty minutes in) x LINKS: Follow Clint on ⁠instagram⁠ Follow me on ⁠⁠tikok⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠ Follow the podcast on ⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠ Order my debut novel ⁠⁠Love on the Air⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
