The Way They Were Podcast The podcast for people who have a celebrity breakup they never got over. New episode every Friday!

If there is one thing Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate love more than discussing their own odd ex’s, it’s remembering weird celebrities that went out with each other too. The glory days of Brangelina and Jelena may be over but Gráinne and Chantal, or should we say, Grantal?, have not forgotten. This podcast, inspired by the cult Old Loves Tumblr is a love letter to the celebrity relations

hips we adored at the time but now have forgotten ever happened. Every week Chantal and Gráinne are joined by a different celebrity guest to discuss the celebrity romance they never got over. So take our hand and stroll down memory lane, as we remember... The Way They Were...
