Posh Things My Boyfriend Says

Season 2 is here! Join us again for more class-and-dating chat, exploring what working class people think is posh (but isn't), British attitudes and some cracking correspondence. 

It's Christmas! Sort of. Join Heather and Max as they explore the most wonderful time of the year and discuss present opening times, the place of a Yorkshire pudding in a Christmas dinner and homemade rosé.  (recorded the day before London went into Tier 4 and Christmas was cancelled!)

Would you wear a hoodie to a fancy restaurant? Is it a "class issue" if you do? Join us as we dive into the world of current affairs and discuss the Jess Glynne controversy, opening theatres for Panto and our latest correspondence from listeners.   

Is classical music just for posh people? What about rock? Join us as we discuss class and music, where Max explains his distaste for opera and Heather reveals why she never made it as a musician.  

Join us this week where we compare birthday parties, explore whether the whole posh/not posh divide is getting better or worse and what the origin of the word 'posh' actually is - etymologists rejoice!

This week we talk about jobs and the world of work. Max performs a rap (sorry) and tells us about his diplomatic connections - Heather explains her groundbreaking analysis of how jobs and class intersect and asks, is there such a thing as a 'posh' job?

This week we talk about sex. It's awkward at the best of times, but especially if you went to an all-boys boarding school. Join us to hear about first kisses, genital euphemisms and the best ever substitute for the "birds and the bees" talk.  

This week Max and Heather discuss that awkward subject: money. Max talks about the first time he ever bought a girl dinner and Heather describes her guilt about a recent spending spree. Do you have to have money to be posh? What would you do with £1,000? Join us for the discussion and for some of Max's invaluable dating advice.

This week, we catch up on our correspondence and read a thoughtful letter from a listener from the Midlands, pleading for us to not forget "the middle"! 

We review Normal People by Sally Rooney this week. We take a heartfelt look at what the book says about class and relationships. Buckle up, this one gets emotional.
