Stabl Presents: Normal Not Normal

James and Oliver Phelps (aka Fred and George Weasley) talk to a star-studded selection of friends, colleagues and personal heroes who stepped into the limelight at a young age, and find out what “normal” means to them. As identical twins who grew up on the Harry Potter film set as Fred and George Weasley, you could never say that the pair had a “normal” start to life. But recently, they’ve been thinking: what does “normal” mean anyway? Ready your ears for behind-the-scenes Potter revelations; outrageous rants; frank conversations about mental health; and even the odd, ‘did-you-know?’ Search for Normal Not Normal where ever you get your podcasts. Normal Not Normal is a Stabl production. Produced by Alice Homewood. Music 'Not Normal' by Sebastian Forslund. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Introducing Season 2

Swipe Left Swipe Left producers Claire Crofton and Gavin Wong were travelling through New Zealand when the world went into Coronavirus lockdown. So, from an isolated cabin at the foot of Mount Taranaki, they got to work. Their mission? To bring a bit of laughter to counter the quarantine blues, with a second season of Swipe Left Swipe Left.  The philosophy remains: “an embarrassment shared, is an embarrassment halved,” but the stories in season two go beyond the world of dating to explore the embarrassments of everyday life. From the swimming pool to the office, these excruciating tales told by the people who lived them will keep you entertained during your Coronavirus quarantine and beyond.
