Hi! Hi! Hi!We're having a full on Heartstopper crisis, a fanboy/girl panic and must discuss it! Is this not the most joyous, positive show ever? It's fluffy, hopeful, full of kings, queens, and miscellaneous royalty. We love you Nick Nelson. We are all Charlie Spring.  And Olivia Colman is so generous with her time. Above all, Heartstopper shows that representation matters and how important it is to all generations.Wanna share your thoughts, especially on Heartstopper?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

Everyone knows my love for Carlos from DRUCK, so having the talented and adorable Louis Maria Daniel on this podcast is a dream come true :) Louis is everything you've envisioned--down to earth, chill, insightful, and a wonderful conversationalist. We touch on how he secured the role of Carlos (although that's not the role he auditioned for, listen to find out!), his background, hobbies, and more. This interview goes so well that he practically interviews me! I am deeply thankful to have him on this podcast and the conversation we shared :)Follow Louis on Instagram @louismariadaniel.

Gaby from fellow SKAM podcast, Cries in Norwegian, joins us this week to break down the Abispecial (is it or is it not a part of season 4?) and episode 1 of Season 4! Optimism is the word of the episode and we're optimistic for Amira's journey. She's a queen and we love her multifaceted personality. However, we can't help but feel cheated by this shortened season. Don't even get us started on the lack of a proper Balloon Squad... Nevertheless, we're "optimistic"!Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

The super kind and warm Andrea from IG's alt_er_skam joins us to discuss DRUCK Season 3 in full!

So Matteo's Hell Week is over, but David's? It's just starting...  Hugs all around for him! Amazing listener and frequent emailer Clarisse joins us for the podcast this week to discuss episodes 7-8 of DRUCK Season 3. Lots of expletives and curse words in this episode, but for good reason as we review David's coming out storyline, our rollercoaster with Hans, and more. Clarisse provides us with their personal journey and connections to this storyline, so commend you, Clarisse!Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

Tumblr's finest, Henrik of skamenglishsubs is back on the podcast to discuss Season 3 Episodes 5-6 of DRUCK, better known as Hell Week... dun dun dun! My oh my is Matteo going through it. We love the network of support he has, but have issues with the timing/pacing of the scenes. Sara is being Sara, the fashions are terrible, but Matteo's journey is super important. He is our floor goblin after all :)Please follow skamenglishsubs on Tumblr to read his amazing posts on SKAM OG.

Anyone else on a first name basis with the SKAM universe actors? As always, it's a hoot and a holler when Rachel of IG's @kosegruppie and @tarjei.sandvik.moe.daily joins us to discuss episodes 3-4 of DRUCK Season 3. Expect conversations about the differences between Matteo and Isak, David vs Even, our ups and downs with Sara, DRUCK's budget, being a Winterberg apologist and oh, there's even a 10 minute super tangent about SKAM Italia. P.S. Our apologies to Sian and how we butchered her name...Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

It's time for Davenzi, everyone! OG co-host Claire is back for an episode to kick off Season 3 of DRUCK. Amongst the galore of tangents (Degrassi, Carly Rae Jepsen, SKAM Universe time capsule, etc), we break down Davenzi's chemistry, Matteo's personality, the small changes, and more. Exciting times in this week's episode :)Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

The uber-talented Chris Veres (who portrays Alexander Hardenberg on DRUCK) joins us for this super exclusive interview. Yes, it's actually him... I'm still in disbelief it actually happened.  The two of us cover so much in this interview, from his upbringing in LA to how he made Alex his own character (and yes, we go in-depth on the panic attack scene) to even discussions about therapy. Chris is so dope and chill, very open and easy to talk to. I am forever grateful to have him on the podcast! Thank you so much :) Wanna share your thoughts?

Hey hey! There are so many laughs and tangents with Rachel from @kosegruppie/tarjei.sandvik.moe as we break down episodes 7 and 8 from DRUCK Season 2. Yep, just two episodes this time with a lot of comments and tangents sprinkled in. There's talk about why Winterberg works, some iffy moments that seem too "teen show"-esque, and why Carlos is a moldable boyfriend. You get some bonus Timmy Chalamet talk, why Brad Pitt laughed at Ben, and unpopular opinions! All that and more in this podcast update that was released waaaaay before March 2022 ;) Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

So it's been 84 years since we last posted and even this episode was recorded waaaaaaaaaay back in mid-July. Our personal lives may have changed (Claire's been in Ukraine for weeks now and Ben thoroughly enjoyed CT/NYC/Las Vegas), but Druck Season 2 hasn't! OG co-host Claire returns to give us her thoughts on Winterberg, Hans' messiness, what's going on with Jonas, and of course tangents. Yes, plenty of tangents about Shawn Mendes, Harry Potter, and more. All of that madness in this week's episode reviewing episodes 4-6 of Druck Season 2 :)Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

Move over Noorhelm, we've got Winterberg in the house! With Cath from All of SKAM (the invaluable resource all fans use), we break down Mia as a nuanced character, her spider dynamic with Alex (it's a metaphor lmao), the refreshing changes, and how all of the Girl Squad gets to shine.

Hello, sweet potatoes! Andy, one of the podcast's longtime listeners and frequent emailers, heard our shoutout a few episodes ago and rose to the occasion to guest co-host this week. And guess what? He's German and brings heaps of knowledge and insight about the culture/language. We dive into Season 1's finale and discuss how emotional the Hanna/Jonas breakup scene is, the Alex-Mia dynamic, Kiki's journey and more. On top of that, we give awards out to the season's top scenes, songs, fashion toots and boots, etc.  It's a fun-filled episode, so give it a listen :)Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

We've referenced him so many times, but this week I have the pleasure of bringing on Tumblr's finest, skamenglishsubs to dissect episodes 7-9 of Druck Season 1. Yes, he's not German or even Norwegian, but this Swede is a treasure trove of SKAM knowledge and trivia. Hanna's drama really ramps up in these episodes as she tries to figure out her identity, but luckily, there's some resolution on the horizon. The editing is still messy, but so's this podcast ;) We hope you're entertained with this week's podcast episode!To follow skamenglishsubs on Tumblr and read his fabulous subtext and culture commentary, please visit skamenglishsubs.tumblr.com. Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

Hallo! I have the amazing @druck.experience.bot's Priscilla and Sveta joining me on this episode. Together, we discuss and break down episodes 4-6 from Hanna's season. So much happens in these episodes that push the storylines forward, such as Kiki doing the deed with Alexander, Toilet Sam drama, and Cold War parallels (maybe Claire will say something about it..). There's talk about Jonas and his puppy eyes, whether or not we're feeling Toilet Sam, the messiness of the Druck transmedia in Season 1, and the lack of stock footage transitions.  All that and more in this week's podcast episode!To follow the resourceful DEB and gain access to extra content, quizzes and more, please visit https://t.me/DruckExperienceBot :)Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!

Are y'all shocked the podcast is reviewing Druck (the German adaptation)? It's been hinted at in the past, but here it is! I'm joined by special guest, Rachel, who is better known as @kosegruppie and @tarjei.sandvik.moe.daily on Instagram. We dive into the first three episodes of Hanna's season, but the tangents are alive and we end up talking about Nooras, random actor trivia, SKAM crack videos, and more.  Rachel has such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to SKAM and the fandom, so be sure to follow her.Wanna share your thoughts?Email: alterlovepodcast@gmail.comIG/reddit: @alterlovepodcastTumblr: alterlovepodcast.tumblr.comTwitter: @alterlovepodTakk and alt er love!
