A fresh entry hits the podcast airwaves as Situationships with Sophie and Christine arrives on BBC Sounds, a new venture commissioned by BBC Scotland. This audio venture teams up award-winning author Sophie Gravia with television figure and author Christine McGuinness, putting them in charge of untangling the messy knots of modern connection.
The setup is straightforward: Gravia and McGuinness take on listener-submitted stories, wading into the funny, odd, and sometimes truly strange tales of dating trouble, family disagreements, and that murky territory known as the “situationship.” They’re not pulling punches, but the approach is set to be free of judgment, aiming for open talk over easy answers.
Beyond just solving listener problems, the hosts plan to bring their own experiences into the room. Listeners can expect candid chatter about their lives, from dating and parenthood to career moves, giving a personal touch to the broader conversations about human ties.
For those who prefer to see their podcasts, Situationships with Sophie and Christine comes as a fully visualised production. The first episode is available now across BBC Sounds, BBC Scotland, and BBC iPlayer, ready for anyone eager for honest talks about life’s complicated connections.
