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.

Against our better judgment, and all advice, we have decided to share with you some more of the bits that we absolutely could not include this time from our discussions about series 1 of Young Royals.

We are taking a look back at the amazing few months that we had rewatching the first season of Young Royals and have put together two bumper collections of our favourite bits. This week, we have chosen some of our favourite moments, be they funny, emotional or reflective, either from, about or inspired by episodes 4 - 6 of Young Royals Season 1. So, settle in and enjoy!
If we have missed any of your best bits, then let us know on...
