Little Bit Leave It
76 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsA Love Island UK podcast for American viewers focused on cultural translation, questionable scholarship, and lowbrow humor.
Every week, we dive into a (hopefully) interesting aspect of British culture or history--whether it's the most popular sexual fetishes or legends of Celtic mythology. We also spend way too much time talking about a specific episode, go over any new slang terms, and review the islanders' questionable fashion choices.
New episodes publish every Saturday on Patreon, and then two days later on Mondays everywhere else.

A Little Bit About Casting
November 29, 2021 19:02 - 49 minutes - 42 MBWhy do some cast members on Love Island know each other? What makes contestants memorable while others are forgotten? Why do we feel "connected" to certain islanders? Why do some people cope well with the stress of being on Love Island while others can't handle tit?

Little Bit Leave It Season 1: All the Ads
September 27, 2021 16:30 - 1 hour - 67.6 MBYou might be asking yourself why we'd release an episode compiling all the advertisements from our first season. And no, it's not because we're looking to cash in on our internationally-renowned Love Island podcast. You may have picked up that the ads are fake, but over the course of producing the season, what started as a fun bit grew into a complex narrative. The subtlety of the narrative is easily lost in a weekly podcast, however, so we pulled them all together, along with some relevant...

Rachel picks Brad only to get pied a day later, Faye remains unlucky in love, Sharon's fling with Aaron dissolves as quickly as it commenced, and in the first major drama of the season, a confused and confusing Toby ditches Kaz for Chloe moments after he says he's "jumping in with both feet."

And o...
