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

Thank you for your patience in waiting for this episode over the past weeks. We are very pleased to finally bring you this episode, but we begin this week by sharing some news with you all which will explain our absence. Just a few days after recording this upcoming episode, we very sadly lost our wonderful Sky.
We feel that the upcoming episode highlights all that Sky had to offer us and the world and so we, with the blessing of Sky's family, have chosen to share the episode with you as planned in celebration of, and tribute to, Sky.

Lessons have been learned.
 
TW: Talk of dark, intrusive and potentially suicidal thoughts in the first 15 minutes of this week's episode.
 
We are so sorry that today's episode was affected by an audio issue which means it sounds far from its best, but we hope you might still enjoy our discussions about the first half of the final episode of this series, where we touch on all manner of topics including: mental health struggles, queer safe spaces and Jennifer Coolidge.

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.
