You’re Not Allowed To Say The ’S’ Word - A Heartstopper Podcast

Series 1 Episode 5: ’Friend’ PART ONE

It's getting complicated!
 
This week, we dive deep into the first half of Episode 5, while also veering wildly off topic! Expect yet more debate on binary fashion and school uniforms, the complexities of family relationships and Monopoly.
 
There are, as always some great tracks to add to your playlists (if you're able to):
Urbanangel1999 by Thomas Headon
If You Want by Beabadoobee
Buzzkill by Baby Queen
 
And if anyone can identify the mystery song from the opening of the episode - jump on to Insta: @aheartstopperpodcast to let us know (or just say 'hi')!

Series 1 Episode 4: Secret

We did it in one!  
 
It's a slightly longer episode this week, but we managed to discuss Series 1 Episode 4 in full so we're feeling pretty pleased with ourselves! This week, we take on topics such as school survival games, giving people the time they need and 'she who must not be named' all whilst picking apart the episode that brings us to the halfway point of series 1.  
 
Your new playlist tracks are:
What's It Gonna Be? by Shura
Heart by Flor  
 
We'd love it so much if you could drop us a like, review or share and tell all of your friends! Swing by and say hi on Insta: @aheartstopperpodcast

Series 1 Episode 3: Kiss PART TWO

IT'S ALL TOO MUCH!
We have some very strong responses as we discuss the second half of episode 3. The conversation goes deep with talk about the daily fears for those living outside of the binary, finding your place in the world and yet more dirty shoes.
Absolutely phenomenal songs to add to the playlist this week:
Clearest Blue by Chvrches
Alaska (Toby Green Remix) by Maggie Rogers
Keep the love, and awesome contributions, coming through Insta:@aheartstopperpodcast and feel free to leave reviews and share with your friends via your Podcast apps.

Series 1 Episode 3: Kiss PART ONE

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

Series 1 Episode 2: Crush PART TWO

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
 
Thank you so much to all of the new Yellow and Blue Crew members who have already stopped by to say 'hi'!
 

Series 1 Episode 2: Crush PART ONE

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
