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

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

’You’re Not Allowed To Say The ’S’ Word - A Heartstopper Podcast’ is the small Pod which is big on heart and HUGE on Heartstopper! Host Luke Sibson is joined by the Yellow and Blue Crew - a wonderful group of young, and not quite as young, folks - as they rewatch every episode of the hit Netflix series ’Heartstopper’ and share their thoughts, feelings and their own Heartstopping experiences. Join them each week as they take a different episode of Heartstopper, analyse it, maybe sometimes have a little cry about it, and pick out favourite lines, top fashion picks and those moments that made our hearts flutter the most. Look out for bonus episodes with special guests and deeper discussions. Keep in touch on Instagram to share your thoughts, ask questions or perhaps even guest on future episodes: @aheartstopperpodcast or join the Facebook group.

It's the 2nd annual Yellow and Blue Christmas party!

 

Join Luke, Indigo, Finn and Ellie for the second of our two weeks of festive fun. Enjoy a selection of games and activities that are not designed for an audio format plus a selection of songs that you'll have to find on your own because we're not allowed to play them! Mostly though, it's just the crew giggling away; hopefully you'll be inspired to join in...
