About this podcast
Rom and also Com is a new podcast where we talk about romcoms - duh! Weighing up the romance and comedy, discussing the minimising of women's media, reliving our favourites and wishing we lived in a movie. I'm Ally Mclean and I'm an actor, writer, fashion designer, and big time yapper. This is like the fancy film podcasts you know and love, but we're not fancy, we're nerds who just want a laugh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
