Quickie: Best-selling Author Lucy Score On Smut, Success And Self Belief
This mini episode is a special moment from our chat with bestselling romance author Lucy Score (who we all fell in love with after our episode) We get into the weird shame writers sometimes feel about their early work, and how standing in a stadium at the Eras Tour helped Lucy flip the script and actually feel proud of how far she’s come. We talk touring, the not-so-glam travel, and the surprising little splurge that reminds her she earned this life. Lucy also lets us in on the realities of writing sex scenes, how much choreography actually goes into them, and why romance readers really are some of the best people on the planet. And yes, there is Taylor Swift fangirling. Obviously.

Quickie: Does 'About Time' give us the greatest life lesson of any rom-com?
As we ease out of Christmas and into that strange, reflective space before the New Year, we’re revisiting one of our favourite conversations from last year. Ash and Harriet chat Richard Curtis’ About Time, a film that somehow sneaks life’s biggest lessons into what looks like a simple rom-com. This episode shares the final moments of a longer chat, where we unpack why About Time hits so much harder than expected. From the devastatingly beautiful father and son relationship, to the idea that love stories are often found in family, memory, and the smallest everyday moments, this one stays with you. If you’re doing a bit of New Year thinking, planning, or gentle manifesting, this is a beautiful place to start. And if it leaves you wanting more, the full episode is waiting for you too.

Andrew Papas talks Boy Bands and Big Love
This week on Hopeless Romantics, we’re joined by Andrew Papas, singer, musical theatre powerhouse and star of & Juliet, which is heading to Aotearoa in early 2026. Andrew talks us through his journey from a church kid landing his first school musical lead, to boy band life with Titanium, to finding his way back to theatre and into the role of a very different Romeo. We also get into the real stuff. Falling in love young, navigating long distance while touring overseas, building a marriage rooted in trust, and what it’s actually like being a stay at home dad while your partner’s radio career takes off. There are romantic grand gestures, Lana Del Rey car rides, framed song lyrics, and some very honest reflections on staying connected when life gets loud.
