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!

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were never just a couple they were a full-blown cultural event.

From Paris Fashion Week to reality TV, Instagram meltdowns and frequent attempts to break the internet, their relationship blurred the line between love story, brand strategy and performance art. But how did two people from such different worlds become the defining celebrity power couple of the 2010s?

This week on The Way They Were, Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate are joined by journalist and pop-culture encyclopaedia Tracie Egan Morrissey to unpack the rise and fall of Kimye.

There’s a lot to get through because the lore runs deep, the details matter, and nothing about this relationship was ever simple.
