The discussion covers the much talked about Beckham family tensions, the ongoing saga of Prince Harry and Meghan, and how celebrity families seem to turn their private disagreements into very public feuds. Meanwhile, Poe tries his best to keep up as Heathcliffe fills in the gaps.

Along the way the conversation drifts into reflections on family relationships, how fame changes things, and why some stories seem to dominate the headlines.

Expect:

Celebrity family drama explained (or at least attempted)

Poe discovering pop-culture events he somehow missed

Heathcliffe acting as an unofficial guide to the internet

The usual staffroom-style tangents and questionable expertise

It’s a relaxed, unscripted chat that proves teachers don’t just talk about lesson plans and marking.

Nothing is off-limits, nothing is over-planned, and very little is taken too seriously. Expect the kind of spontaneous chatter that usually happens between lessons: curious tangents, strong opinions, questionable facts, and the occasional moment of unexpected depth.

This episode kicks off with a discussion about the Royal Family before veering (as all good conversations do) into Poe’s heroic — and possibly ill-advised — attempt at fasting.

If you enjoy witty banter, dry humour, gothic energy, and the comforting randomness of two people who clearly talk far too much in real life, you’re in the right place.

Settle in, grab a drink, and welcome to the pod.
