We’ll call it…Whistledown Unmasked (Bridgerton Season 3)

In this episode we discuss the highly anticipated Season 3 of Netflix’s mega hit show, Bridgerton. As stans we love talking about Shondaland creations and this 3rd installment of Julia Quinn’s book series which focuses of the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Lady Whistledown herself, Penelope Featherington, is no different. We cover the friendships, the romance, the comedic moments, and of course the dynamics of power and privilege in this world especially for women. We also discuss the influence the secret columnist wields in the Ton and what giving that up for love would mean. We also touch on the building love stories and side characters we also love. This one’s a fun one. We hope you enjoy! 00:00 Introduction and Technical Issues 03:01 Reminiscing about Montreal and Oceaga 05:55 Season 3 of Bridgerton and Nicola Coughlan 09:33 The Plot and Characters of Season 313:57 Review and Rating of Season 326:03 Colin Bridgerton's Journey of Self-Discovery 29:37 The Need for More Episodes to Fully Explore Storylines 36:13 Embracing Queer Storylines in Bridgerton 41:45 The Empowering and Surprising Scene with Penelope Featherington 43:44 Excitement for Future Seasons and Character Development 44:08 The Importance of Comedic Moments 45:22 Character Development: Cressida and Penelope 48:32 Exploring the Friendship Between Eloise and Penelope 53:32 Women Finding Their Voice and Standing Their Ground 57:07 The Surprising Reveal of Penelope as Lady Whistledown 01:02:45 The Superior Storytelling in the Queen Charlotte Storyline Instagram: @assumeitwillbebrilliantpod  Music: Humblux - S.H.E.
