Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

Hello, we back on our sofa in front of the telly after all our summer "specials", and we have news. Seismic news. >9 on the Richter Scale*Also, this week's interview was recorded at our first ever festival appearance. It's trailblazing comedian Josie Long, recorded live at End of the Road 2024. Spoiler alert: We didn't take the brown acid.Communicate: [email protected]: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHWith thanks to Sarah Bennetto, Pax Lowey and Julian Harding at End of the Road Festival* In the unlikely event of a catastrophic earthquake, please disregard. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

While Sara re-adjusts to civilian life post-Edinburgh, it's everyone's favourite kind of episode: A CLIP SHOW! Only the finest pickings from the past year-and-change of interviews, though. PLUS: How Sara's Fringe ended. AND: An unlikely hero emerges. WARNING: Contains potentially offensive accents.Editor-at-large: Annabel PortEmail us: [email protected] us: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our final episode semi-recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, and Sara thinks it's the 2nd best interview we've ever done. Geoff is more circumspect about making those kind of statements, but you're in for a treat: Comedian Matt Forde talks about his new show "The End of an Era Tour', and this tumultuous past year of his life. Plus, if you're here for the Hermitage of Braid content, good news! There's an arguably overly-long anecdote about the Hermitage of Braid.Email: [email protected]: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHEditor: Annabel Port Hosted on Acast.

It's the second of our summer specials where we talk TV with the most dazzling comedians at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Today, it's Pierre Novellie. This guy has standup as good as Seinfeld, and he has just published a truly, genuinely we-mean-it brilliant book about receiving an autism diagnosis at the age of thirty-one. Plus America's sweethearts, the DCC - if you know, you know - and if you don't, you soon will. Also: Sara exhibits her most British behaviour to date. See Sara's show, 'Anything For You' at the Edinburgh Fringe: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/sara-barron-anything-for-youThen see Pierre's show, 'Must We?': https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/pierre-novellie-must-weAnd once you've done all that, read Pierre's book: https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Pierre-Novellie/Why-Cant-I-Just-Enjoy-Things--A-Comedians-Guide-to-Autism/29646545Send flotsam and jetsam downstream: [email protected] the river flow: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHDam built by: Annabel Port Hosted on Acast.

Sara's at the Edinburgh Fringe - or is she? So, it's the first of our summer specials where we talk TV with the festival's most dazzling comedians. Today, it's Jessie Cave. We loved her previous Edinburgh show, Sunrise, and she's back at the Fringe with *two* shows, An Ecstatic Display and a work-in-progress with her partner/ex (delete as applicable) and baby-pappa, Alfie Brown. You may know Jessie from her many TV appearances and acting roles, or as Lavender Brown in various Harry Potter movies and other I.P. She's funny, she's insightful, she's candid, and she's got all the talent. It's all very triggering to Sara, but she'd still like to be Jessie's BFF.See Sara at the Fringe: https://bit.ly/3vRVCw3A more gracious podcaster would have linked to Jessie's Fringe shows first: https://bit.ly/jtltw and https://bit.ly/jtltw2Email us: [email protected] the debt Sara is accruing in Edinburgh: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHEdited by Annabel Port https://annabelport.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Summer vibes, everyone! SUMMER VIBES. We're bridging out of usual vibes into summer vibes. We spoke this week to HOLLYWOOD INSIDER Mark Monroe, about being Hollywood's go-to documentary doctor.

Sara is deep in Edinburgh Fringe preparation, so it's a basic bitch episode: You'll get our guest, you'll get your email, then we're OUT. Not that our guest is a basic bitch, she's a real lady (like Easy V, who doesn't come for free.)

For the first time in forty-five years, Sara watched football. Despite how momentous this was, she was forbidden from using the experience for her Quick Watch.

Hey, good lookin'! Here's what we've got cookin' (just chasing those Gen Z dollars by referencing a song from 1951): Purple ladies, outdoor intercourse, street art, the noble art, slum landlords and some truly excellent TV recommendations.Plus! We don't know how we did it*, but we only went and bagged an interview with Taskmaster's Alex Horne and Greg Davies. Individually, they're phenomena. Together, they are a phenomenon. Phenomenal!

Hello you! Wanna hug? No? We completely get it. Have you been eating properly? We're going to nourish you.
