The Poshcast

A night where all taste and decorum go out cobwebbed windows: welcome to spooky spectacular of The Poshcast.

This week, Sophia Money-Coutts and Cleo Watson are boiling with fury over modern Hallowe'en. Has the whole affair descended into a vulgar sea of plastic tat, and questionable fancy dress? From boarding school seances to classic posh pranks, Sophia and Cleo debate whether anything about the 31st of October is redeemable—or if Guy Fawkes Night, complete with wellies, bonfires, and extortionate fireworks, reigns supreme.

Plus, they tackle a burning listener dilemma: is a fake Christmas tree the ultimate festive faux pas? Sophia makes a shocking, seven-and-a-half-foot confession...

Are posh people finally being rehabilitated on primetime television, or is Celebrity Traitors simply an excuse to admire James Blunt in full Sandhurst officer mode?

This week on The Poshcast, Sophia Money-Coutts and Cleo Watson examine whether toffs on telly have graduated from pantomime villains to national treasures.

And with the cold nights drawing in, Sophia and Cleo trot through their favourite peppy parlour games to rescue your winter gatherings from social death. From the frantic guessing of The Hat Game and the wine-soaked soot of Ibble Dibble, to rather more risqué dinner party antics, consider this your essential guide to organised fun.

Plus we tackle an urgent listener dilemma from Julia, who is hosting a black-tie opera gala: where on earth does the pudding spoon actually go? Consulting Debrett’s, Sophia and Cleo settle the debate once and for all—before turning their attention to Cleo’s own unforgivable dinner table crime: gold cutlery.

Welcome to a very romantic (and slightly unhinged) episode of The Poshcast! With autumn officially here, Cleo Watson and Sophia Money-Coutts are diving headfirst into cuffing season - the art of shackling yourself to a lover for the cold winter months.

Opening up the post bag, Sophia and Cleo unpack proposals involving live boa constrictors, the peril of eating potpourri at dinner parties, and a special delivery of black toilet paper from Renova. Plus, they debate the fine line between old-fashioned chivalry and modern feminism, before answering a burning listener question: what on earth do you do if your fiancé proposes with a massive, inherited engagement ring that is utterly hideous?

This week on The Poshcast, Cleo Watson reports from what looks like a fishbowl at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, while Sophia Money-Coutts holds down the fort in London.

Opening up the listener post bag, Sophia and Cleo tackle the big questions, like what is acceptable to call ‘tea,’ the horror of premature Christmas decorations, and the ultimate line-in-the-sand etiquette conundrum: is non-white loo roll ever acceptable? Plus, they debate how to signal for the bill at dinner (or should we say supper?), the acceptable length of a voice note and the lost art of queuing.
