Here’s the full episode guide to the show, which is produced by Whistledown Studios.

Shared Baggage episode descriptions

Episode 1: Tricky First Dates – with Olga Koch

Catherine, Charlene and Larry are joined by serial dater Olga Koch to discuss the toe-curling angst and hidden joys of Tricky First Dates. The chat covers love bombing, witchcraft, how and when to reveal that you’re bisexual, how for stand-ups first dates can be like performing a gig and why wearing dirty flip-flops is never going to set a good first impression.

Episode 2: Red Flags and Things That Make You Go Ick with Rhys James

It’s an icky episode 2 as Rhys James joins the gang to talk Bad Habits and what to do about them. They chew over questions like: Should you force your partner to come out to their parents? How to cope with a healthy versus slobby lifestyle clash? And what to do about your loved one’s weird family

Episode 3: Arguments and Apologies with Sindhu Vee

Argumentative apologist Sindhu Vee is the ideal guest to help Catherine and Larry attempt to give advice on relationship squabbles and when to say sorry. From the need to always be right, to the knotty problem of how to indefinitely delay a marriage without causing a scene, plus whether to accept an apology after 9 years and if it can ever be right to pour your drink over someone.

Episode 4: Sex with your partner(s) – with Zoe Lyons

Raunchiness meets well-considered advice as Catherine, Larry and Charlene are joined by self-confessed ‘vulnerable moth’ Zoe Lyons to talk about sex in relationships – everything from enjoying your swagger, to how to deal with a one-sided sex life, to what to do when the honeymoon-sex phase is over.

Episode 5: Moving on From A Relationship with Sophie Duker

Catherine and Larry attempt to answer listeners’ ‘break up’ problems with the help of relationship guru Charlene and the very wise Sophie Duker.  Questions answered include: When is it OK to get rid of your ex’s belongings? How fast is too fast to move onto someone new? And can model frogs and water polo ever fill the gap where love used to be?

Episode 6: Ghosting with Ivo Graham

Ivo Graham joins the gang to talk Ghosting: what is it? How should you cope with it? Is it ever OK? Along the way the gang talk about the ‘joy’ of dating apps, drunken passes from ex-work colleagues, when more-than-friends becomes just-friends-again and how ‘going for a good walk together’ may or may not be a universal fix-all.
