  • Conversations on Love: Feel Good, Wes Anderson and a Cheat’s Margarita
    It’s the season finale and boy are we digging into what we LOVE to close off season two. Elle sings the praises of her beautiful collection of Wes Anderson books and why Fantastic Mr Fox might just be the best movie out there, and tries to guess the plot of newly revived dystopian classic I Who Have Never Known Men based on the Vintage’s re-issue cover alone. Camilla is talking about dystopia and love AGAIN because it’s basically all she reads about, digging into the comfort and wisdom of Natasha Lunn’s new book Conversations on Love. We finish off Season 2 with some good, reliable drinks and a sneaky Agony Aunt section too. We’ll be back in a few months with Season 3! Happy reading (and drinking).

  • Wilful Disregard: Regrets, Rosé and Love in Lockdown
    This week the girls age fuelling up on bitch diesel (rosé, to the uninitiated) and talking all things lockdown inspired TV and Lorde’s hot new single. Elle asks Camilla to guess the plot to Matt Haig’s new book, The Midnight Library, and Camilla discusses the fine line between love and obsession in Lena Andersson’s novel Wilful Disregard.

  • Poems for Love: Cannibalism, Voyeurism and a Good Old Q&A
    This week we’ve got a spirited little Q&A for you (so many recommendations!) - thanks to everyone who sent in a good old question. Elle tries to guess the plot of Francesca Reece’s brilliant debut, Voyeur, and tries to make Camilla fully weep with a selected reading of love poems. Camilla raves about an award winning novel about cannibalism and the merits of live classical music. The girls also discuss book burning and the sweet, sweet joy of vaccination. A tasteful episode, much culture.

  • Midnight Chicken: Comfort Food, Whale Sounds and Famous (Future) Lovers
    This week we rave about a brilliant new BBC iPlayer comedy (written by a woman!! No way!!) and contemplate how we’d handle having famous lovers (very well). Elle sings the praises of Swansong by Kerry Andrew and Camilla rambles about recipes worth living for from Ella Risbridger’s captivating food memoir Midnight Chicken. There is also a special treat in the form of the worst stanza of poetry ever written. Ever. Follow us on Instagram @prosebeforehoespodcast and Twitter @prose_hoes_pod if you fancy.

  • Acts of Desperation: Grief, Taxidermy Rats and The Pub
    We’re back after our brief hiatus and we’re bringing the good books this week. Camilla contemplates how many cups of coffee in a day is too many, and waxes lyrical about both Megan Nolan’s debut Acts of Desperation and Kristen Arnett’s strange but brilliant exploration of a family grieving in Mostly Dead Things. Elle finally tells us when International Men’s Day is (November 19th) in her review of The Problem With Men and discusses the strange but wonderful Ayoade on Top, a book entirely about the movie ‘View from the Top’ starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Both Elle and Camilla are broken by spending their lives and money at the pub for the sake of the British economy. Camilla and Elle for Mayor!
