The Way They Were
W!ZARD Studios
The podcast where every celebrity split is the one that got away. Each week comedians Grainne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate take a deep dive into a celebrity breakup, chosen by a special guest, that still lingers in their hearts and minds. We scour interviews, over-analyse iconic pictures and search for meaning in post-breakup media statements. Celeb gossip hounds will feel right at home, but really anyone who's experienced a breakup can appreciate hearing how the rich and famous take heartbreak to a whole new level. They might uncouple ‘amicably with love and respect for one another’ - but we never get over these lost loves! Join us every Friday for a new episode.

1: ATHENA KUGBLENU: Cheryl Tweedy and Ashley Cole
Welcome to the first flurry of episodes of The Way They Were! In this edition, Grainne and Chantal welcome you to join them to celebrate the lost love of the king and queen of Juicy Couture, Cheryl Tweedy, and Ashley Cole!And the guest taking us back to the days of ghetto fabulous and dubious self-tanning choices is comedian and writer, Athena Kugblenu! Yes, thanks to Athena, we get to cast our memories back to the days before Cheryl's name became too long for an autocue and Ashley still lived in a flat (Why?? He was a multi-millionaire... BUY A HOUSE).We walk through the early days of that erstwhile love affair and those first faltering texts Ashley sent to woo the nation's sweetheart (Silvia Plath he ain't) and find, ultimately who thrived and who just survived after the relationship. Also, each week Chantal and Grainne will be asking the guest to come up with the perfect life partner for a very special single megastar and Athena's suggestion shouldn't work, but just does.
