The Way They Were

78: Christmas Special 2023!

Ho Ho HOOOOOOOO! It's the Yuletide season and the elves have been working around the clock to bring you a Christmas special episode of The Way They Were! 
Yes, Grainne and Chantal had their annual IRL meet-up to discuss iconic romances from festive films and which celebrity couples they lament the break-up of in 2023, while also looking ahead to the new year and which showbiz partnerships look to be on the ropes. 
Grainne does what she does best by giving us her take and a VERY deep dive into Christmas film cringe-fest, The Holiday... but do you agree with her hot takes? Give us a review with yours. 
We'll see you in 2024, as the team are already booking in some incredible guests, all of whom are ready to share their celebrity break-up crush, but until then a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS from everyone at The Way They Were!

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.
