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. They might uncouple ‘amicably with love and respect for one another’ - but we never get over these lost loves!

Gráinne is back for a very special edition of The Way They Are book club, diving into Famesick by Lena Dunham.

A memoir that reads less like a victory lap and more like a slow, uneasy unravelling, it takes in blind-item anecdotes, her breakup with Jack Antonoff, and behind-the-scenes drama with her on-screen love interest Adam Driver.

Chantal and Gráinne dig into the unreliable but captivating narration of one of the most fascinating celebrities of the modern era.
