4. Colin and the Columnist

Perpetual wallflower Penelope Featherington [f28] has been hopelessly in love with Colin Bridgerton [33m] for years, however he only sees her as a friend. Now he’s back in London after a lengthy Greek sojourn, and something is different. Penelope is finally finding her courage, and Colin can’t help but notice the woman he never noticed before. WWDD? Our fourth episode has us (and everyone else) sighing over the popular guy/unpopular girl trope, with a bonus queer reading of the text. It also made us all very hungry for sandwiches. Maybe grab a snack before you listen? Featuring: - Penelope Featherington, the most relatable of all characters - Colin Bridgerton, eater of everything - A secret writer - Another secret writer - Two delighted mothers - One kind of delighted sister? I mean definitely. - Absolutely. Completely delighted. - A regency mean girl getting a bit of comeuppance - A wedding cake church - Sandwiches. - More sandwiches. - A prat fall. - One. Huge.
