Uh oh, we've done it again...
I think we just might have to accept that this is a thing. We had too much to say about episode 3, so we've cut it into 2 parts again. We get into it about multi-generational queer experiences, calling out hate speech and playing Mario Kart with Olivia Colman.
New tracks for the playlist are:
My Own Person by Ezra Williams
Telephone by Waterparks
If you're enjoying our deep dives into Heartstopper and think others would to, please feel free to leave a review and share with your friends. And we'd love to hear about it so swing by Insta: @aheartstopperpodcast

Why am I like this?
We wrap up our breakdown of episode 2 which means we finally get to discuss the song, and the moment, that have been haunting us for 2 weeks! We also talk queer representation on TV from the past 25 years, having friends you can be open around and punctuating text messages.
The iconic song from the end of this episode is:
Why Am I Like This? by Orla Gartland.
Feel free to add it to your Heartstopper playlist and listen to it on repeat like Luke and Indigo have!
If you're enjoying listening to us talk and talk then please 'like' the podcast, perhaps leave a review, tell all your friends and fellow Heartstopper fans and most of all, drop in to the Insta: @aheartstopperpodcast

Thanks for coming back!
This week, we start discussing S1E2 of Heartstopper. We hit all manner of topics including LGBTQ+ education, an A* first date and how Charlie ties his shoes. But here's the kicker - we talked about SO much stuff that we ran out of time, so this is part 1 of a 2 part chat! You'll have to join us next week for the rest of our thoughts about this amazing episode.
In the meantime, check out the songs mentioned from this episode:
Sappho by Frankie Cosmos
Girls by girl in red
Dance with Me by beabadoobee
