Previous topics have included the manosphere, sex work, Danish arthouse cinema, America\u2019s Next Top Model, noughties girlbands and Lily Allen\u2019s West End Girl. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The podcast is known for its political and sometimes controversial content, with both comics pushing and challenging each other throughout each episode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alison commented on the return: \u201cDelighted to make it to series two, the friendship is intact. I can\u2019t say the same for my organs. Come and pinpoint when the medication kicks in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fern added: \u201cSeries 2 \u2013 one less gallbladder, much more Ritalin!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The podcast will continue to be available on all major podcast platforms, with full visual episodes also released on YouTube through Acast.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-podfollow wp-block-embed-podfollow\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Ignore That Feeling with Fern Brady and Alison Spittle\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/podcastingtoday.co.uk\/fern-brady-and-alison-spittle-return-for-series-two-of-podcast\/about:blank\" data-secret=\"K22TPxH85B\" data-rocket-lazyload=\"fitvidscompatible\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1871414238\/embed#?secret=K22TPxH85B\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Ignore That Feeling with Fern Brady and Alison Spittle\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1871414238\/embed#?secret=K22TPxH85B\" data-secret=\"K22TPxH85B\"><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/podcastingtoday.co.uk\/fern-brady-and-alison-spittle-return-for-series-two-of-podcast\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ignore That Feeling will return for a second series, with new episodes launching from Tuesday 21 July.
