The Fleabag Situation: A Fleabag Fan Podcast

What a long February it's been! Chrissie and Allie assure you they're still alive and catch up on a 2022 full of highs and lows. Then they spend a lot of time talking about television. Some things never change.

Just under the wire, it's a brand-new Chatty Wednesday! (Hey, you know the saying: It's Chatty Wednesday somewhere.) Chrissie and Allie are reacting to the false alarm that was BBC3's "green" campaign, discussing why the rest of the world might think Mr. Rogers was a serial killer, and asking today's most pressing question: Where do you keep your pajamas? (If you call them pyjamas, you already know the answer.) Enjoy!

It's a full-circle Chatty Wednesday as photos have emerged documenting what Gary Dollner told us more than a year ago: Andrew Scott looks great in little swim shorts. Chrissie and Allie cover this development in great detail, along with Phoebe filming Indiana Jones, Brett Goldstein talking to Brene Brown, and Jason Sudeikis being perfect yet again (this time on SNL).

It's another hot, humid autumn Wednesday in Atlanta, so Chrissie and Allie are staying inside and chatting it up. This episode is mostly a Ted talk, as in Lasso, reviewing the season 2 finale and admittedly getting judgmental (not curious) about some of the lowlights. But along the way, find out why Allie now has muscles, the outcome of Chrissie's spider saga, and the mystery of whether Phoebe was wearing a cape or a coat (or a capoat?) at the premiere of No Time to Die.

Summer vacation is over, which means Chrissie and Allie are falling into a brand-new subseries of The Fleabag Situation: Chatty Wednesday. Why's everyone talking to each other? Because there's a LOT TO TALK ABOUT, Y'ALL, including Phoebe divorcing Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the sudden disappearance of PWB and Sian's RADA Talk, Ted Lasso, Murders in the Building, and F1: Drive to Survive--and that's just to name a few convo topics. Grab a chair! (Coffee or tea optional)

It's a VERY SPECIAL DAY! We are finally replying to emails and answering your questions about all things Fleabag, podcasting, and Taylor Swift theories. Yes, Taylor Swift THEORIES, featuring a very special guest, Allie's friend Colleen aka Swiftie Supreme. This episode is a tribute to the wonderful people who make up our Fleabag Situation listener community and we cannot thank you all enough.

Chrissie and Allie are back IN PERSON to squeeze every last drop out of The Scriptures with a chat about Phoebe's "additional material," namely stories and appreciations of the cast, crew, friends and family who made Fleabag possible. Plus, get the first news about what's next for your favorite podcast chatterboxes...

Love may be awful, but Chrissie and Allie are finally ready to relive the heartbreak of season 2, episode 6 through The Scriptures. Even after umpteen rewatches, the final scene still generates....some feelings. Lots and lots of feelings.

It's double-decker treat for two dedicated fandoms! We had a blast chatting with Dan Gage, assistant editor for Fleabag season 2 and editor of the lockdown hit Staged, starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. (Or David Tennant and Michael Sheen, depending who you ask.) And Staged also features a certain Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Who you may know from Fleabag. It's all one big Venn diagram of delight. Plus, we cover the breaking news about Donald Glover and PWB working together and try to recover after our souls leave our bodies.

If there was ever a week that called for Phoebe Waller-Bridge dancing with Harry Styles in shiny argyle sweaters and wide leg pants while singing about kindness--this was it. Chrissie and Allie talk through the political highs (Georgia turns the Senate blue!) and the very low lows (um, attempted coup at the Capitol) of the first week of 2021 before focusing instead on the joy and light that is the new "Treat People With Kindness" video.

It's the penultimate episode of The Scriptures, as Chrissie and Allie pore over the script for season 2, episode 5. We find out the Hot Misogynist is really good at it, the Priest just needed permission, and the rest of us have never wanted so badly to be a trench coat belt.

Chrissie and Allie breathed a sigh of relief after Joe Biden's win and finally have the emotional fortitude to talk about The Scriptures season 2, episode 4. Along the way, they discuss the Georgia runoffs, Ted Lasso, vulnerability, funeral customs, our place in the universe, and Taco Bell. It's nothing short of fucking beautiful.

This episode has to run like cockwork. We mean... cockwork. Sorry, our brains are somewhere else right now. Either way, Chrissie and Allie throw their hat in the ring for Best Women in (Podcast) Business and pay homage to the tragic history of the Fox Boys as they open season 2, episode 3 of The Scriptures.

Grab a cupcake and raise a G&T--it's the first anniversary of The Fleabag Situation! Chrissie and Allie are beyond thrilled to celebrate with the joint return of Fleabag production designer Jonathan Paul Green and season 2 costume designer Ray Holman. Plus we FINALLY get around to reading some listener emails and discuss your Fleabag thoughts and theories.

Sian Clifford is now officially a BAFTA-winning actor, possibly solely for the way she says "Tooting" in this episode. Chrissie and Allie celebrate her delightful victory and play doctor with Andrew Scott (but not in the way they'd like) before delving into season 2, episode 2 of The Scriptures.

Chrissie and Allie open Fleabag's New Testament and begin studying season 2 of The Scriptures. Listen for news about Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller-Bridge reuniting on “His Dark Materials,” Andrew appearing in a new play at The Old Vic, and more excitement during this very special family gang bang.

Just when you thought there was nothing good left in the world, Andrew Scott teams up with Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones from "Normal People" for a hilarious, touching, truly divine crossover video that we now consider canon as Fleabag season 3. Chrissie and Allie had to call an emergency recording session to commemorate this historic event. (Also: donate to Comic Relief at rte.ie/comicrelief)

On a day that felt equal parts heaven (the SpaceX launch) and hell (riots across U.S. cities), Chrissie and Allie try to find respite in the divine words of The Scriptures season 1, episode 6. Hear the good news about the Fleabag stage play rental extension, a prophesy about an upcoming Zoom Q&A for our Facebook group, and the eternal blessing that is Andrew Scott telling us everything will be all right.

The quarantine feels like it's reaching Biblical proportions, so Chrissie and Allie are turning to the Scriptures for solace and breaking down season 1, episode 5. Plus get a recap of our incredible Zoom Q&A with production designer Jonathan Paul Green, costume designer Ray Holman, hair and makeup designer Pippa Woods, and story editor (and Run executive producer) Jenny Robins!

You know the saying: Behind every beautiful woman in a jumpsuit is a talented man who found that jumpsuit for £38 at Topshop. That's right, costume designer Ray Holman joins Chrissie and Allie for a detailed conversation about the pieces that gave season 2 its signature style. Get the scoop on the legendary (navy!) jumpsuit, how Ray improvised on the Priest's blue jumper to show off "his arms," and his last-minute trip to Armani with Kristin Scott Thomas to shop for Belinda. Oh, and we even got a knockout recipe for gluten-free banana bread out of the deal.
