As social distancing has been a firm feature of their friendship for the last few years, Bethan proves it to be even more essential when discussing bird seed, sparrow hawks and Chris Packham at the beginning of this episode.If you make it through the questioning of “How much bird seed does one need?” and, Greer’s quick Google to see whether Pen Island is still...2020-06-0200 minAnecdotally11: Born Again Christians- Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends Watch-AlongAs the Covid 19 Lockdown continues to ruin everybody’s plans for 2020, Bethan has started a complicated relationship with a Brownie delivery company and Greer has taken to blocking out the news by listening to Louis Theroux’s audiobook on repeat. To keep her away from Harry Potter “I promise it’s not sexual“ fan-fiction, Bethan suggested that the next few episodes of Anecdotally be a look back at Louis Theroux’s first ever documentary series from 1998, Weird Weekends in which he visits communities in America that hold strong beliefs and gets stuck in with their lifestyle.In Episode 1 of...2020-05-2600 minAnecdotally10: Lockdown Special: No Pants, Don't CareIn episode 10 of the Anecdotally podcast, Greer and Bethan are back with a Coronavirus Lockdown special which includes a brief cameo appearance of some partridges.

I do not fancy Ian Hislop. In episode two, we’re talking about men. Specifically old men. Thankfully you never heard our teenage conversations which involved Bethan walking up to the top of an isolated hill at night to find signal purely so we could gossip about her unconventional teenage crush, the Wiff-Waffing, Ziplining, Weirdly Womanising, now Prime Minister Boris Johnson. It was either him or an unsuspecting Maths teacher with a memorable hair cut. At least ne...2019-09-1700 minAnecdotally1: Naked in Latin and Clearasil Hair DyeIn the first-ever episode of the Anecdotally Podcast, Greer and Bethan reminisce about when they first met. Was it friendship at first sight? Probably not as neither of them can remember exactly when it was.
