Hi, I'm Charlotte Jacqueline.

And I'm Liv Purvis.

And welcome to our podcast.

Or podcast, as Charlotte just said in our first introduction.

What is our podcast called, Liv?

It's going to be called the fringe of it.

Do you want to explain why it's called the fringe of it?

Because we both have fringes.

And it sounds a bit like the thick of it.

Yeah, but don't sue us. No, don't sue me.

This is, I can't believe we're here actually recording it. That's a bit strange actually,

the microphone and the spit guard. Charlotte was the insistent we got. In sister we got a spit guard. It looks very professional. It feels like I'm in a recording studio. We are. We are in a recording studio. We have got a massive team around us. But yeah, we are in my spare room. We're in the office. It's very messy, very unglamorous actually. But we've been talking about doing this for a really long time. How long? I think after we did the first video so it was about over a year ago we did a video together on YouTube if you're not familiar with it which is where we kind of ignited the conversational chatty just our style of chatting yeah we just we love having a nutter and we did that and a lot of people are like oh it's really good and I think around that time there were a lot of podcasts coming out I was trying not to reference dolly auditing too soon but it's um how many minutes

in are we one when I did the girls club at hackney walk last year dolly came to speak with emma gannon

and sarah taska I'm just name dropping now look at you I know got friends have we friends, have we? Yeah, yeah, got loads of them. And Dolly said something that I say to myself quite a lot, and actually Jack says, remember what Dolly said. And that's just because one woman is doing something doesn't mean that's the only woman that can do that thing. I think that's so cool. So I think that's the thing, like you kind of expect with something like podcasting, you would think, oh, we'll wait until it kind of dies down or becomes a bit less cool. Because it's so popular, you kind of think, oh, I can't really jump on it because people think I'm copying or actually it's a really cool thing to do. It's like blogging. I'd never kind of judge someone else to do something cool that I've already been doing for a while. So basically it's taken us a year to pluck up the courage to do this. And here we are. We did try doing this last week, but we literally just chatted. Actually, we spent most of the day on our brush shots. Oh yeah, with Joe. Against the newly pink wall, which we've painted, helped to be a parody of myself just yet.

But we thought, yeah, let's take some photos.

And that took probably four hours. Yeah, by the time it came to recording the podcast, we were pretty exhausted. I know. I had no chat left. So what we've done today is, Liv literally jetted in from the coptholes because that's how fancy she is. I'm on my helicopter pad. Yeah, and we tried not to speak to each other because we do this.

We have a pre-catcher.

We did it when we did our YouTube anniversary video. Yeah. And we had such an intense catch-up before we did the video that... There was nothing left to say. There was nothing. We squeezed it out. I know. And I do want to... I need to try and be careful of this. I'm not to interrupt you because I'm a real interrupt.

We tried to say, what do we want our podcast to be like?

And I said, just as long as we don't come over as hysterical.

Who said, somebody said we have chemistry.

I know.
