Glow Home

Mark and Paul are back home, back on the mics, and already fighting for their lives: terrible roads, anxiety-inducing cornering, and Mark’s ongoing “can’t drive in the dark” situation (glasses on, drama on). Paul’s algorithm has served him a new obsession: Boy Bands in the Buff, starring Gareth Gates, scaffolding, kneeling pads and all. Plus: post-holiday debriefs, hotel room hot takes, Wellfest hosting with the “queens that don’t quit”, and the election posters that are giving… absolutely nothing (including one very suspicious AI effort). And then: the lads reveal their completely wild Monday–Friday reset—meal replacement shakes—and do a health & wellness Glow Up or Blow Up on protein everything, walking pads, matcha, 10k steps, GLP-1s, cold plunges, overnight oats and sauna culture. Finally, what they’re watching: Your Friends & Neighbours, Hacks, Bad Sisters, and the knicker-gripping Apex.

Mark and Paul are back in holiday mode (but also somehow “workity work”) and diving headfirst into Met Gala madness — yes, Mark keeps calling it the Met Ball, and yes, Paul is absolutely having none of it. They break down what the Met Gala actually is (the money, the tables, the intern tickets, and Anna Wintour’s approval power), plus the mystery phone ban and the chaos of the world’s hardest seating chart. Then it’s looks, looks, looks: Kardashians doing what they do, Beyoncé getting the Skeletor comparison, Sam Smith causing drama, and the boys getting their moment too. Plus: their all-time iconic picks — Rihanna’s yellow cape, Gaga’s camp reveals, and Zendaya’s Joan of Arc.

Mark and Paul are recording straight from their hotel room in Portugal (Alvor) — slightly overcast, very rosé-fuelled, and with Mark rocking a husky “I’m sick again” voice. Booked, blessed and busy… but still somehow on an all-inclusive.They break down the most chaotic Ryanair flight of all time: toilets locked, “I’m calling the police” flying around, a ham-and-cheese panini turning into full-on authorities boarding, and passengers absolutely outraged.Plus: kids invading the adults-only pool, AI videos and AI boyfriends creeping them out, and a holiday edition Glow Up or Blow Up (extension lead hack, sun-lounger wars, packing cubes, wristbands, WhatsApp groups).And finally: what they’re watching, what they’re wearing (SPF chat), and Paul’s garden furniture arriving at home.

Mark and Paul are back with Penny content straight off the bat: an AI “Puerto Rico” Eurovision-y earworm, a lip-sync moment on TikTok, and the ongoing saga of Penny loving the garden… while also gaining the confidence to pee in her own bed. Then it’s holiday mode, because as you’re listening they’re in Alvor, Portugal for a family all-inclusive that’s (hopefully) glam but still kid-friendly. Expect “gunkle” dreams with Dylan, a debate about actually planning your own holiday priorities, and the serious question: gym-and-coffee mornings vs pool-sweat sunbaking. Plus: dinner strategies, holiday spending (better wine upgrades = non-negotiable), SPF wars, nap intentions… and Mark casually dropping a London work trip the day before the flight.

Mark and Paul are back with “feedback from the peeps”, a debate about their most-used catchphrase, and a full breakdown of the “wine consent” question (plus the takeaway mind games that come with it). Also: Sabrina Carpenter x Madonna chat, and why Madonna’s marketing team are working overtime. Then it’s weekend debriefs: Mark’s Mallorca mini-break with sunshine, passport control weirdness, a near-murder taxi moment, and getting fully stranded thanks to the 312 cycle race (shout-out to the restaurant manager who literally saved the day). Plus: Paul’s garden updates, a bath at Karen’s with ocean sounds, new garden furniture on the way, and the cute suitcase notes Mark didn’t even find. Glow Up or Blow Up goes full throwback reality TV: “David’s dead”, old maiden shoes, Nadine’s passport, Nikki Grahame, and why we’re officially blowing up Tyra’s iconic scream. And finally: what they’re watching next (Last One Laughing, Hacks, Slow Horses, Your Friends & Neighbours, The Pitt) and the ongoing love affair with Victoria Beckham Skin Drops.

Mark and Paul kick off with pure ship-life nostalgia: the dream of being a singer for the private cabin, the “mini magician” onboard, and the genuinely unhinged memory of drunkenly demanding Peter the Magician fetch the rabbit for the entertainers’ mess.Then it’s time for hardcore adulting. Mark’s turned 40, they’ve been with the solicitor, and they realise a will isn’t just “something you’ll do someday” especially as DINKs, with the grim-but-real chat about who “dies first” and where everything ends up.Plus: enduring power of attorney, free websites, Penny living forever, leaving the beauty stash to Lily (who’ll sell it on Vinted), census obsession, mortgage panic, The Ivy drama, and spicy McDonald’s nuggets.Enduring Power Explaination : https://youtu.be/sr4e8D428e8?si=SyXVNDGU2UgJlsMjEnduring Power of Attorney Link : Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) | Decision Support Service

Mark and Paul are back with cuts on the hands, boxes everywhere, and Paul’s ongoing battle with packaging (Stanley blade included). There’s also a serious investigation into the “Sol de Janeiro hand sanitiser” mix-up, and a garden update that’s this close to giving main character energy.Mark is officially one of Ireland’s “richest influencers” (apparently). Net worth: €650k. Reality: mortgages, seven-day weeks, and family members texting “congrats” like the money’s actually landed.Plus: glam mam sightings at “Dion/Dean”, Lily’s first stage show drama (why was she in the back row?!), PR tea about people selling press sends on Vinted, Coachella chat, and a Glow Up or Blow Up on pop stars we need to come back.Finally: wardrobe meltdowns, Victoria Beckham foundation habits, Mallorca champagne plans, and what they’re watching (Hacks is back).

Paul and Mark kick off this Hot Take with Coachella. They unpack festival madness, influencer backlash, insane prices (hello $34 pizza slice), and the absolutely dystopian Revolve gifting suite where people are hauling out five bags of freebies.Plus: iconic outfits, Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter discourse, and why Charlene Murphy’s Coachella content deserves awards.

Mark and Paul are back with a very “we’re old now” episode: lazy weekends, early nights, champagne as a lifestyle choice, and the mystery of how you can take 47 supplements and still feel like you’re slowly dying. Penny’ has new demands, and the flower-arranging chaos nobody asked for.Then it’s all about the youth: niece Lily’s first big theatre show… and the unhinged makeup list for a SIX year old. Armani foundation, Charlotte Tilbury highlight, brushes, the full production.Plus: Glow Up or Blow Up: buying fags with a note at nine, penny jellies, playing on the street, payphones, Snake, school vaccines and communion cash before ending on what they’re watching (Louis Theroux’s Manosphere, The Boyfriend) and what Mark’s wearing (Hydrotint).

It’s the one-year anniversary of the pod and Mark & Paul are taking a moment to bask: 200,000 listens across Spotify and Apple, thank you very much. Naturally, it starts with grief over the new format… because there’s no wine. Cue plans for a weekly wine review, a discount code mission, and “Wine not” becoming the official slogan for life.Then it’s a proper trip down memory lane: Rachel Gorry’s iconic chaos, the terrifying-but-fun drunk pod (and the brutal edit), Angela and “right sizing”, Dainty’s elite blocking saga, and that first live pod at Taste… featuring the world’s drunkest heckler.Plus: what they’ve learned, what they’d change, and what’s coming next revamp, new sections, more guests, and maybe even a ticketed live show with goody bags.

Mark and Paul are back from Portugal and somehow still recording like absolute professionals. Expect holiday debriefs, airport rage (why is it everyone’s first day on Earth?), a surprise “transfer” in a Volkswagen Polo, and the chaos of Easter weekend travel. They deep dive into their Carvoeiro trip: vineyard tasting menu, a two-hour hike with the wrong shoes, pool day perfection, and loud hotel guests who fully ruined the vibe (yes, there was a slut drop). Plus: the iconic Stanley Cup self-defence story, Paul’s shock decision to live out of a suitcase, and a hotel-themed Glow Up or Blow Up on bed runners, mini toiletries, check-in times, glass bathroom doors, scented lobbies and room service.

Mark’s wrapped in his “sickness blanket” and barely holding it together, while Paul is one minor texture issue away from trying to “level up” the entire house. Add Penny wedged between them on the couch, and you’ve got the perfect setup for this week’s Hot Take: Unpopular Opinions. They get into why being “booked and busy” is an exhausting personality trait, why social media makes everyone feel behind (even when they’re grand), and the power of saying no… maybe a bit too much. Plus: skincare truths (SPF is SPF, you don’t need 10 steps, overfilled lips are over), home opinions (beige/grey panelling has had its day, crushed velvet can go), DIY realities, and the countdown to Portugal.

Mark and Paul are back on the Glow Home Pod and it’s officially a “he’s sick” special: throat infection, two styes, the return of H. pylori, and (breaking news) blood pressure meds. Welcome to 40. There’s also a Portugal trip on the horizon… with an event install waiting on the other side, because of course. In DIY chaos, Paul tries TaskMatch for the garden wall, accidentally invites a tool-less crew into the back garden, and somehow ends up with a gorgeous finish… and a stolen rake. Plus: a full Glow Up or Blow Up on sick-day behaviour (fresh sheets, windows open, flat 7-Up, Lucozade, Lemsip, flannels), what they’re watching (Paradise, Gen V, Drop Dead Gorgeous, and the JFK Jr/Carolyn Bessette obsession), and what they’re wearing (Clarins Double Serum foundation, Biodance masks, and CeraVe cleansing).

It’s a bonus Hot Take and we’re starting exactly where we always do: a song stuck in someone’s head, a suspiciously tiny HelloFresh bag, and a massive mystery “celery” that nobody trusts. Also: why is March nearly over already, where is the pause button for this year, and how many birthdays can one weekend physically hold? Then we dive into pure nostalgia and argue our way through the ultimate childhood movie list: Free Willy tears, The NeverEnding Story confusion, Labyrinth fear, Return to Oz trauma, and Sister Act 2 supremacy. And the official rewatch pick is… Drop Dead Gorgeous. Go watch it and we’ll report back next week.

Back in the studio and the vibes are feral: the blinding “content light” is officially cancelled, Mark is horizontal on the couch, and Paul’s fresh in the door after a weirdly aggressive driver… plus a father casually handing a child a fully peeled banana at the traffic lights.Big life admin too: after five years of marriage, Paul has officially become Paul Rogers (Ryanair are not making it easy), and we chat name changes, the Rogers legacy, and the very real foster/adoption chat for the future.Then: garden updates, TaskMatch discoveries, and the hunt for the perfect terracotta-pink wall.Plus celeb scandalo (Kesha’s Tits Out tour, JT’s DUI body-cam cringe, Perez Hilton) and a Glow Up or Blow Up on celebration types—destination birthdays, fancy dress, huge dinners, kids parties and boat parties you can’t escape.And finally: what we’re watching (don’t bother with Woman in Cabin 10), what we’re wearing (Sculpted by Aimee, glass skin), and why you apparently shouldn’t wash your face in the shower.All this and more and we are also rewatching Drop Dead Gorgeous! Get into it!

It’s a “Hot Take” and it starts with chaos: a dinner near home that was usually a safe bet… until the service (and the soggy reheated chips) had the us questioning if we’re turning into bitter old gay men.Then it’s straight into the real drama: Paul has fully lost the run of himself with the house, talk of ditching the dining table for an armchair, repainting the office out of nowhere, and Mark trying to slam the brakes on the whole renovation spiral.Plus, listener Qs: nightmare neighbours, the best cocktail bars in Dublin (Collins Club, VCC opinions, and Gloria’s “sensational” vibes), coping with moving in together, dream alternate careers, and confidence tips through makeup and styling — with a sprinkle of St. Patrick’s Day week and Portugal plans.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, babes and yes, we’re leaning ALL the way in. From Penny’s full attention-seeker era (and the great crate-training trauma) to Mark being proudly Irish while Paul tries to keep up with the Hollywood Irish uprising: Jessie Buckley, Cillian, Barry, Mescal… the lot.We get into the reality of Paddy’s Day logistics (bandstands = bougie salvation, parades = chaos) and whether Guinness is actually worth the effort (plus: the truth about pub line cleaning).Then it’s an Irish-themed Glow Up or Blow Up: Irish pubs abroad, Irish goodbyes, “2% Irish” people, Irish mammies, Riverdance supremacy, crisp sandwiches (King vs Tayto!), Catholic guilt, and the absolutely criminal boiled sausage.Plus: what we’re watching (Housemaid movie discomfort, Paradise struggling, The Boyfriend wholesomeness), what we’re wearing (Sculpted by Aimee foundation + Remi hair), and Mark’s big French birthday weekend and Kesha plans.

Mark has a full-on outfit panic ahead of tomorrow’s all-day press event in Brown Thomas… and secretly smuggles a haul under the stairs. Cue: a sheer canary-yellow shirt, a yellow jumper, white jeans (not cream), a “poo brown” co-ord, and absolutely no clue what shoes go with any of it. Then we get into the real topic: friendship. The ride-or-die ones you can go weeks without texting, the guilt-trippers who drain you, and why at 40 the “shop is closed” on new connections. Plus: holiday-with-a-friend picks, setting boundaries, friendship audits, and the most important friendship of all — the one with your husband.

No guest this week (because… logistics, double-booking and recording in the depths of the night), but we are HERE. Mark’s been hustling a bit too close to the sun, Paul’s being suspiciously supportive, and there’s a chaotic travel plan brewing: Berlin press trip straight into Lyon for a 40th… with a Toblerone peace offering.House updates nobody asked for but everyone needs: the garden is done, the pink wall is pending (more terracotta please), hydrangea politics, a garage makeover, and the controversial plan to ditch the dining table for another massive chair.Then it’s a special Girl Band/Reunion Glow Up or Blow Up: Pussycat Dolls are back (kinda), Girls Aloud forever, Saturdays supremacy, Little Mix drama, and Take That? In the bin.Plus: what we’re wearing (Bioderma, Remi hair, LED masks) and what we’re watching (Dr. Odyssey chaos, Paradise, Grey’s, and Potomac madness).

After a quick detour into Eurovision lore (Delta Goodrem! “Espanavision”! Linda Martin airport insanity), we get into the real Hot Take: adults-only spaces. Are they anti-kids… or “pro-environment”? We’re talking kid-free dinner slots, spa zones, the infamous “grey area” wristband holiday drama, adults-only flights, airport lounges, and whether you’d actually pay extra for peace. Let us know where you land.

It’s been a DAY, but we’re still here recording because we love you guys (and because there’s way too much to unpack). Penny’s doing “missy pissy pants” laps to the toilet, the world feels a bit… terrifying, and we’re sending love to Maeve while she’s stranded in Dubai (thriving, but still).We recap the dreamiest DINK bed-rot weekend: Resident Evil, a full book devoured, Bridgerton binged, and the ultimate crisp sandwich in bed.Plus: work scándalo stress, hiring news, and the real drama — Paul has secretly lined up paving for the back garden. Grass is dead, the pink wall is pending, and divorce is allegedly on the table.Glow Up or Blow Up covers Katie Price at the Gossies, “named days” like Mother’s Day, gift trumpers, and blowing up celebrity gossip.Lots more so buckle up its a good one!

Mark’s 40th celebrations go international as we recap the Barcelona Bonanza from start to finish. Think airport “responsible” drinks, Dublin lounge dramas (book in advance, babes), and Siobhán somehow forgetting her suitcase the minute we land.We check into the Social Hub (cheap, gorgeous, STEAMERS in the rooms) before hopping into a tacky-stunning Hummer limo with DJ Paul on the decks. Then it’s Gatsby Barcelona: fancy dress code, non-stop mini Broadway numbers, and bottles of Albariño flying.Day two brings beach lunch at Julieta’s, “human-sized” seagulls, private tapas at Sensi (octopus PTSD included), and the greatest karaoke bar on earth… with one iconic lyrical disaster. Buckle up its a good one!

Mark’s 40th birthday is officially underway… and the chaos is immediate. Penny’s on the (forbidden) wet food, everyone’s had “responsible” champagne (define that how you like), and Lisa and Kyra have been smuggled into the house for a surprise that spirals fast.We attempt “40 things we love about Mark” and barely make a dent, expect hair lore, pink suits, loyalty-to-the-end (yes, hiding bodies is mentioned), gunkle chat, and the iconic two-day-in-bed Christmas tradition.Then it’s Glow Up or Blow Up: Eurovision gets dragged, drinks get ranked (Amo Ball, Sambuca on ice, red wine trauma), Benefit nostalgia gets real, travel hot takes fly, and we finish with what we’re wearing & watching. Absolute Champagne fueled mayhem.Also here's LPD's Ultimate Foundation List - The best foundations on the market — Lisa Potter-Dixon

In case you didn't know Mark's 40! So Paul chats to mark about 10 moments to 40!

Mark is officially f****40, and the birthday celebrations are still going strong. From the “aesthetic cake” meltdown (and somehow ending up with THREE cakes) to surprise London besties flying in, this episode is pure chaos, champagne, and committee-level planning.We’re also deep in Barca mode: airport drinks, pottering, and trying to book a single plan with a group that can’t commit to anything.Plus: Foundation Files is coming, Penny’s muddy feet are ruining the cream sofa, and we’re on the brink of divorce over paving the back garden vs doing the bathroom.Glow Up or Blow Up covers Instagram’s new translation feature, fake-hook reels, performative wellness, and the state of the weather.

This week on The Glow Home, the lovely Angela is back — and she’s arrived exactly as expected: with multiple bottles of wine and plenty of opinions. Between rosé debates, “good” French bottles, and a bit of family slagging, we eventually get down to business. Angela chats us through her massive life update: “right-sizing” into a gorgeous, modern new build and saying goodbye to the family home (and Nan Mary’s granny flat) after 35 years of memories. We talk moving chaos, the emotional bits, the terrible house that nearly was… and Angela’s ultimate advice: do the “death clear out,” book the hotel, and hire the movers.

We’re back, baby! In this first episode of our return season, we catch you up on everything that’s happened since we last spoke. From how Mark’s family put the FUN in funeral, to that time we might have joined a small cult (don’t worry, we’re fine… mostly).✨ Glow Up or Blow Up makes its triumphant return, and we’re introducing two new segments: What We’re Watching and What We’re Wearing – because you deserve the full glow-down.It’s chaotic, it’s heartfelt, it’s hilarious – and it’s exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

Let’s just say... Mark, Paul & Lisa (@lisapotterdixon) have been more than once, and each trip gets wilder than the last. From €1,000 roulette wins to lying on the floor talking to puppies (don’t ask), Vegas has served us glamour, grit, and a few cold showers of shame.We’re talking dream 24-hour itineraries, our fave hotels (Cosmo vs. Caesar’s: the eternal debate), and whether classic Vegas moments — like pool parties, bottle service, and Elvis weddings — are still a glow up or a total blow up.Because what happens in Vegas? Gets unpacked here. 💅

This week, it’s sequins, spritzes, and stories with our glitter-loving queen, Lisa Potter-Dixon @lisapotterdixon 🍾. From backstage glam with A-listers to cocktails in castles, Lisa’s life is anything but beige and we’re here for it.We chat about our 10+ years of friendship (Benefit babes forever), Lisa’s rise as a makeup artist to the stars, and her Velvet Smoke Homewares Brand. But it’s not all lashes and liner, we’re diving into the art of being that host.From luxury villas in Greece to Christmas champers in bed, we ask: is being the host a glow up… or a blow up? Plus, Lisa and Mark go head-to-head in our “Hostess With The Mostess” quickfire round — and trust us, it’s iconic.

If Barbie had a gay cousin who was also a drag queen and opened a motel in the desert, it would be the Trixie Motel. Created by the iconic Trixie Mattel @trixiemattel. If you haven't checked it out you need to immediately! They even have a TV Show about its creation!From the pink flamingo dreams of Palm Springs to a rogue check-in at the wrong hotel (Paul…), this queer honeymoon had it all.

In this bonus ep we are joined by the gorgeous Tara Anderson @tara_makeup and we switch the convo from makeup bags to mood boards.
