Angela Scanlon and Vicky Pattison are done being told to pipe down, calm down… or “get a grip.”

More about the show

Instead, they’ve flipped the script - Get A Grip is their unapologetic podcast group chat where nothing’s off-limits. From the messy realities of womanhood to celeb gossip, wild headlines and the everyday dramas we’re all muddling through, Angela and Vicky are loud, proud and completely unfiltered.

Every week, they’re laughing, oversharing and getting real, while dragging you, their beloved Gagglers, right into the chaos.

Got an awkward dilemma? A situation you’ve nailed? Something you desperately need a grip on? Sling it their way on Whatsapp or slide into our DM's!

Basically, it’s the funniest, most honest group chat you’ll ever be part of.
