Everything Is Content

Huns, 365 partygirls, friends – lend us your ears! The latest EIC episode is a special one, as we take a look inwards and catch-up with you all. We dive into some of our best pop culture reccs from the year so far, before diving into a Q&A from you. You asked us about our friendship, how the podcast came to be and more...Also, we are taking a speedy two-week break to come back bigger, better, stronger for you. Don't cry because we're on a break. Smile because we'll be back so very very soon

Happy Wednesday, it's time for our weekly chat, wahooo.A recent piece in the New York Times asked Is All of This Self-Monitoring Making Us Paranoid? It was all about wearable health technology such as Oura rings. Oura rings are smart devices worn on the finger that contain sensors so you can track over 20 biometrics such as sleep, movement, body temperature, stress, menstrual cycles and something called daily readiness. They're between around £350 and £500, which I don't believe covers a subscription to data and insights, which is an additional monthly or yearly fee, and they promise to “empower you to prioritise your long term health goals and build healthy habits that will last a lifetime.” The New York Times piece is really interesting, and explores how this kind of data isn't always a gateway to good physical health habits, but can for some people, increase their anxiety and unhealthy body monitoring habits. We get into it and hear from you, the listeners, too!We hope you enjoy, and as always please do follow + review the show on your podcast player app as it helps others to find the podcast :)O,R,B xIs All of This Self-Monitoring Making Us Paranoid?

Welcome back EICuties! This week on the podcast, we have to make an apology to an unlikely couple before we get into the long and short of the latest internet discourse- height filters on dating apps, after Tinder announced that they were joining other apps in allowing users to filter potential matches by how tall they are. Are the short men correct that this is blatant discrimination or is it just a harmless preference? Next up we're discussing a social media wedding event after influencer Jaz Smith revealed the spreadsheet and planning that allowed her to post in real time through her recent nuptials. How many TikToks is too many TikToks for the happiest day of your life? 10? 20? 100? We discuss what it means to live a life so heavily online and if anything is really sacred anymore.

Hallelujah! You've made it halfway to the weekend. To celebrate: a brand spanking new episode of Everything In Conversation. Corrrrr, aren't you lucky?This week's midweek investigation is all about Justin Bieber's controversial Instagram caption, in which he revealed an argument where he told wife Hailey that she'd never be on the cover of Vogue. The post, which was to celebrate Hailey Bieber being on the cover of Vogue, divided audiences. Some say he's showing growth and accountability, other's have labelled him narcissistic & cruel. With the help of the listeners we go on a conversational jaunt that takes into the heart of bad husbands, via the politics of posting about rough patches and into the land of our own worst examples of male invalidation. We hope you enjoy this episode. If you've read this far- I bet you were a pleasure to teach and always handed in your homework. So here's some more: we really rely on good reviews and ratings to help us grow and keep making the podcast, so we'd love if you could leave us a kind word and a cheeky five stars. Thank you so much. See you on Friday!R, B, O x-----GLAMOUR - "Why Justin Bieber's Vogue Comment Struck a Nerve" Bad Influence by Oenone ForbatRomanticise Your Life by Beth McColl Hosted on Acast.

Come hither into our watery lair... we three witchy mermaids want to drag you into our content cave... hehe. Happy Friday.This week on the podcast, at 12:51, we travel to the fictional island of Port Haven, where Julianne Moore swans around in floaty Grecian gowns, rehabilitates birds of prey, and presides over her billionaire husband's palatial home. Meghann Fahy plays Devon, who starts the series coming out of jail and caring for her dad who has dementia. She reaches out in desperation to her younger sister Simone, played by Milly Alcock, and gets no reply. But she does get a fruit basket. She furiously travels down to confront Simone and unexpectedly breaks into her new world, where her younger sister is the personal assistant, really the emotional support assistant to Michaela, the aforementioned ultra-rich wife. Is this just another attempt to ride the coattails of White Lotus' success? Or something different?Next up, at 34.52 we turn to one of the most unexpected rumoured romances of… potentially the century? That's right, it's Jojo Siwa + Chris Hughes. The Dance Moms & Love Island alumni have been setting tongues wagging since they appeared together on celebrity big brother. The duo are maybe the perfect product from the surveillance reality show... these two would likely have never met without it. Is it a showmance? is it a friendship? is it an us problem that we even care at all?Ruchira's been loving The Real Housewives of AtlantaBeth's been loving The First Bad Man, Miranda JulyOenone's been loving The Four Seasons, A Deadly American Marriage, The Last Of UsSirensLucy Mangan's Siren reviewKath Ebbs PodcastWhat's Going On With JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes? - VultureWe hope you enjoy - please do rate, review & follow the podcast!

Get your cameras out, it's a moment for the pop culture history books. This week, we have an Everything In Conversation *with* the Queen of pop culture deep-dives: Caroline O'Donoghue.We tackled everything with the best-selling author, podcaster, and journalist, from how we consider art from artists who commit atrocious acts, to why we can't accept satire from women. There are some absolute gems including some very special analysis into why Gordon Ramsey's TV work is a feminist piece of culture worth academic investigation, and possibly one of the best listener questions we have ever received for a guest....Ramsey's Kitchen NightmaresThe Rachel Incident SkipshockSentimental Garbage Live Hosted on Acast.

Murderous TV crushes, TikTok propaganda and whether the internet has eradicated all our unique personalities. Just another day in content city! First up at 15:45 we're discussing which modern propaganda we are and are not falling for. From Labubus to organic deodorant, Dubai chocolate to Soho House, hormonal contraception to tattoo regret… what's a psy-op and what's a stretch? Next up at 27 minutes we talk about the new Mary Oliver merch and the collapse of individuality. Have we lost the art of existing unselfconsciously in our quest to understand ourselves through consumption and categorisation?Aaaand spoiler alert from 42:50- we're being brutally honest about the latest and final series of You. Did it hit the spot or did it fail & flop? Let's find out!Thanks so much for listening!

Happy Hump day to you and your lovely lady lumps - and lovely lady lumps we shall be discussing! *** Trigger warning, there is discussion of eating disorders, diet culture, exercise addiction and more ***First there was ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels', then there was ‘beach body ready', and then there was a brief respite when we were all told that 'every body was a bikini body'. But now, in 2025, it seems that all of those narratives exist at the same time, creating a sort of cognitive dissonance that has us all saying one thing, and feeling another.The current tiktok trend is bikini tax, the price to pay for getting into a cozzy, apparently, is making yourself smaller…So have we really made any progress when it comes to what makes a bikini body? Is it worse than ever before?We hope you enjoy, please do rate, review and follow the show, it helps others' to find us, and us to keep making it :) B,R,O xxHow To Have A Body In Summer - Ismene Ormonde Hosted on Acast.

Virgins, Vampires & A Very Demure, Very Mindful dress-code... what more could you want? Happy Everything Is Content day!First up this week, we're discussing a new reality TV show that premiered on Channel 4... and Love Island it ain't. Virgin Island follows 12 adults between the ages of 22 and 30 who have yet to have sex, as they embark on a journey of sexual self discovery on a retreat off the coast of Croatia. There are sex therapists, sex surrogates, group activities, bonding exercises, massages, solo sessions and more. Is it exploitative? Is it heartwarming? Is it too much for our prudish British sensibilities? Listen to find out!Next up, in a very non-French move, there's an anti-nipple vendetta at one of the most glamorous events of the year. One day before the 78th film festival began, Cannes updated the official website to say that ‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the Red Carpet, as well as in any other area of the Festival.' Is this more conversative-creep? Or is just a reactionary decision based on the Bianca Censori Grammy's stunt?And last but by no means least, Sinners. It's been described as a Southern vampire fantasia and another incredible addition to Black horror. Michael B Jordan plays gangster twins, the “Smokestack twins' specifically, who reconnect with their younger Blues loving cousin, Sammie, who helps them open up a juke joint. But they're soon confronted with the absolutely menacing Jack O Connell, who plays head vampire Remmick. Soon things spiral out of control and it becomes a war between the last remaining few and the growing swarm of vampires. And they've just got survive the last few hours of nightfall.

For this mid-week helping of discourse we're asking... are you sick of hearing about your friends' boyfriends? Inspired by this piece by Asli, our conversation begins with boy madness and judgement towards single people, takes a detour towards the healing powers of female gossip before ending up somewhere in the region of Sally Rooney quotes and good old fashioned advice. Thank you all so much for your takes on this- as always they were the perfect blend of sharp-tongued, funny, insightful, thought-provoking and candid. If you want to get involved in next week's ep just follow us on IG @everythingiscontentpod. Also while you're here... ratings are so helpful for homegrown podcasts like ours, and we'd be eternally grateful if you could leave us a good'un.

Grab your poison of choice, as it's time for part 2 of our AI double-bill!Last week we looked at AI infiltrating the arts, but this week we look towards society. From friendships, to relationships to our interior worlds, just how much are we already trusting AI to form connections with others? And how did this become so commonplace?Thank you to everyone who listened and messaged about AI part 1. It was so reassuring to know some of what we said resonated or sparked something. If you enjoy this podcast, please consider sharing us with a friend and giving us a review! Both of these things ensure we can keep on going

Just call us the American voting public in 2000 because this week we're asking "Bush or no Bush?" With your help we're diving into the discourse vis-à-vis shaving your pubes & asking all of the most important questions: why is 2025 being heralded as the year of the bush, are female pube-plants really on the rise, could pubes be a recession indicator, is hair down there ever unhygienic and just how exhausted are we of our bodily features being sucked into yet another trend cycle? Thank you all SO much for your opinions on this topic- they were as candid, insightful, thought-provoking and hilarious as EVER. Le bush c'est chic!If you enjoy the ep we'd loooove a share on your socials (tag us @everythingiscontentpod), a mention in the group chat or a rating and review wherever you're reading this.

It's a beautiful day to be a human, bathing in the glorious sunshine of this week's heatwave. However, it's also a pretty good time to be Artificial Intelligence... or a bot.This week on the podcast we're kicking off a two part AI deep dive. Firstly, in this episode, we will talking about the recent author protests outside of Meta's London offices, asking whether AI can really make art, and looking at how AI is creeping into our everyday lives.It recently emerged that Meta, the tech conglomerate formerly known as Facebook Inc, which owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads has scraped millions of books from the pirate data library Library Genesis- more commonly known as LibGen- to use to train its flagship AI model Llama 3.Last month, icon, illustrator and Studio Ghibli co-founder, Hayao Miyazaki, was being copied and mimicked thanks to thanks to OpenAI's latest version of its ChatGPT tool.. His water-colour, hand drawn illustrations truly are so loved across the world and bring so much beauty to those films. As creatives we perhaps have a particularly purist approach to the incorporation of AI into our work, not only from a moral and ethical standpoint, where so many people may soon be out of work, but also from a creative protectionist point of view, where the time and practise and skills needed to create valuable and adored art should be celebrated rather than replicated by machines; but what about in other industries? In education? In schools?Join us next week for part 2 where we will be diving into how the tech's increasingly seeping into our relationships and internal worlds.O,R.B xx‘Meta has stolen books': authors to protest in London against AI trained using ‘shadow library'The Unbelievable Scale of AI's Pirated-Books Problem Why I – and other bestselling authors – are protesting outside Meta todayBen Affleck explains why it's 'highly unlikely' AI will destroy film, claims it may even enhance the industryHayao Miyazaki's ‘disgusted' thoughts on AI resurface following Studio Ghibli trendChristie's AI art auction outpaces expectations, bringing in more than $728,000Does A.I.

You spoke; we listened. Dining alone is more delicious than a Gü pudding, according to you.This week's Everything in Conversation is a dive into journalist, author and podcaster, Emma Gannon's gorgeous piece for The Guardian on the joy and stigma of dining alone. We also had the absolute pleasure to speak to the writer herself about this, her new novel A Table For One, and how she's built up her career.Thank you so much for your incredible takes on this as always. Could you consider gifting a friend this episode if you enjoyed it? It would mean the world to us and help us continue to keep making this podcast. (Is it cheeky to ask for a review too? x)See you on Friday for our main episode!

The sun is shining (emotionally and hopefully literally wherever you are), as it's time for another EIC episode!On Wednesday 16th of April The Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. The ruling sparked a wave of horrendous transphobic discourse. We are appalled and wanted to unpick how this happened, and JK Rowling's role in this abhorrent outcome.Next, The New York Times published a piece on 'money dysmorphia'. Is it another BS term, or a real phenomenon for the over-spending, and money hoarding camps many of us fall into regardless of our finances?Finally, George Clooney has flexed that he and his illustrious wife Amal *never* fight. We dive into the debate around what a healthy relationship and conflict looks like.Thank you so much for listening and for everyone who's reviewed us. We read every single IG message and review! If you haven't already, we'd love if you could on your podcast player app

It's conversation day!This week, we're discussing All Fours by Miranda July, so just to flag, this episode will contain spoilers, so if you're planning on reading the book and don't want to know what happens, maybe bank this episode for a future listen.Despite a great critical reception, the novel has certainly been divisive among readers, and most definitely in our DMs.The novel follows a 45-year-old perimenopausal woman who, after having an extramarital affair during a road trip, has a sexual awakening. It covers themes that we often love to discuss on the podcast, such as relationships, motherhood, aging, mortality, desire, intimacy, identity and ultimately, the meaning of life.We hope you enjoy this special book club episode - please do slide into our dms with any other books you'd love us to feature + talk about.We'll see you on Friday for the main ep,O, R, B xWe will see you Friday :) Hosted on Acast.

Happy Friday, happy Good Friday, happy Easter & happy Everything Is Content Day!This week on the podcast we're talking about Black Mirror season 7, The celestial sisters who went to space, & ask whether or not you can be too hot to work.Charlie Brooker's dystopian tech anthology Black Mirror is back for its seven series, and lots of the reviews have been really positive saying it's one of the most human series yet, and a return to its best form i.e. its first season. This one is star-studded, with Chris O'Dowd, Tracey Ellis Ross, Issa ray, Emma Corrin, Rashida Jones and Paul Giamatti to truly only name a few.Next up, in what sounds like an episode of Black Mirror but isn't... Katy Perry went to space… for eleven minutes. She was joined by Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sánchez and CBS presenter Gayle King, who was reported to have said a highlight of the flight was hearing Perry sing Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World'. We discuss.And finally, we are talking about t-shirts. Okay, not quite. We're talking about a debate which was sparked on X, in part, by pictures of two t-shirts. Here's what happened- on April 8th the writer Ashley Reese tweeted this as part of a wider conversation about women and work. She wrote: “1) women have always worked 2) it's incredible that women are able to be financially independent in ways that were not as common just a few generations ago and I'm not charmed by jokes—especially from other women—about how gainful employment is the worst thing to happen to women.”Is it that deep? Or is it just some silly t-shirts?

Happy hump day! Grab a brew, connect your headphones, and get ready to chat.This week we're heading (conversationally) to California to discuss weekend one of Coachella! We share all of our thoughts- and yours!- about whether America's biggest festival is still a vibe (if it ever was), how it stacks up against Glasto, whether the outfits were outfitting, what acts looked unmissable and what we think is wrong with the luxury festival market. Thank you so much to everyone who sent in their takes, we looooove being in conversation with you.

Welcome to a brand new EIC! Seth Rogen and his long-time collaborator Evan Goldberg have taken aim at the film industry – and no one is safe. A star-studded cameo line-up is the least interesting thing about The Studio, which is a testament to the brilliant writing of this hilarious satire. (TW; we mention sexual abuse from 23 mins in.) Russell Brand has been charged with rape, indecent assault, and sexual assault. We explore the historic public image evolution he's undergone, and his rebrand to a conspiracist. Finally, we're being forced to check-out of the White Lotus and it doesn't feel good! Here's what we thought of Mike White's ambitious meditation on desire, demons and drama.In collaboration with Cue Podcasts.Ruchira has been loving Lucky Boy.Beth has been loving The Righteous Gemstones and Dying For Sex.Oenone has been loving Costa's pistachio cookie.The Studio review – Seth Rogen's Hollywood satire is fast, furious and beautifully fun'White Lotus' and the pain of desireThe off-the-grid adventures of Walton Goggins Hosted on Acast.

It's Wednesday, which can only mean one thing... we've got to have a chat!There always used to be a sort of joke about how when we're asleep it is the only time we're not conforming to patriarchal beauty standards, when we're free from being advertised to and commodified, only now the billion-dollar beauty and wellness industry has managed to infiltrate that, too.Women of the internet are sharing their 'morning shed' where they remove various layers of skin-care products and anti-ageing aids. We discuss what we make of this new trend, and hear from you at home, too!Thank you so much to everyone who sent in their thoughts, we love being in conversation with you.

Everything is Friday! And Friday is for content. In this week's big and beautiful main episode we kick off discussions with the Netflix game show Inside. Is watching already-rich people cosplay frugality for money really where we're at?Next up: why so many stories about the same couple, Daily Mail? We ask- when does celeb gossip cross the line into cruel harassment? Is there even a line at all?And lastly, what's all this about Hailey Bieber stalking her husband?

It's Wednesday- let's talk. This week we chatted with you about the now infamous and highly-memed morning routine of American fitness influencer Ashton Hall, which included multiple ice dunkings, healthy food prepared by female staff, some mid-air hovering and a lot of alone time. With over 2.93 million subscribers on YouTube and 4.7 million followers on TikTok (at time of recording), he's in the ears and eyes and minds of many modern men. What we want to know- and try to figure out- is if this is a new and healthier frontier of manliness or something more insidious How has something that would have been relentlessly mocked a decade ago now the epitome of high value and peak performance?

Congratulations – you've made it through the week. Your gift is a brand new EIC episode!Everyone has (rightly) been floored by Netflix's latest drama tackling misogyny, online bullying and radicalisation. Adolescence has been praised as 'flawless' TV. Is four episodes enough to explore such a rich issue? And are the right characters platformed in this story?Severance stans – you've waited long enough. We finally clocked in for our Severance shift, and dissected the much-loved Apple TV thriller, and its second series. Meanwhile, if things weren't dark enough in pop culture, IRL fatphobic TikTok filters have been gaining in popularity. But how did we get here... again? The blatant cruelty is galling.Thank you so much for listening! Please consider leaving us a review and rating, and following us wherever you're listening

Hello EIC-heads, happy Wednesday... let's chat!One two-word phrase has blown up on the internet in the past year - let them. Its creator, Mel Robbins, is a popular motivational speaker and self-help figure. In 2023, she posted a tiktok on the theory, which now has 20m views and an instagram post where she said 'I've just learnt about this thing called the ‘let them theory'. The Cut's review of the book makes a really good point for why ‘let them' resonates with our times - ‘One is that it's catchy and sounds easy to do. Another, more depressing hypothesis: Let Them Theory appeals to passive resignation, placing all real power outside our control. Let Them is easily adopted by people who want to do what they were already going to do while pretending their actions don't really matter, because change is impossible and we've already lost.'She's also been criticised for not crediting the poet Cassie B Phillips, whose poem Let Them went viral in 2022 - i.e. a year before Mel's viral post on it. Cassie has spoken out about the situation on a number of occasions, and believes she's been plagarised. She's even drawn parallels between the theory and her poem, which has lines like ‘let them lose you. You were never theirs' and ‘trying to control any outcome regarding their decision is a waste of time. Just let them be, and let them do it on their own.'So if you will let us, let's get into it ;) As always we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Happy Everything Is Content day & Happy Friday!Ruchira is back from her holiday... We're SO back... but we're also so sorry to tell you that we're now old enough that Gen Z are romanticising the 2010s. After years of us Millennials being an absolute joke to them, they're now craving a life of Buzzfeed, hipster myspace and American Apparel disco pants. We ask what it is about Millennial culture that is so cringe, but also, somehow better than whatever is going on right now.Next up, women in male dominated fields! Beth found a really interesting article on the website Semafor by Max Tani called “Young conservative women build an alternative to the manosphere.” And in the piece Tani explores several key female right wing creators who are now building empires and audiences in a way that feels very new and separate to the existing right wing media, which has historically been very male-dominated, often headed by controversial middle aged men who focus on recruiting young men into the fold and tend to espouse really misogynistic views that aren't particularly appealing to women anywhere on the political spectrum. Was it only a matter of time before we got a femosphere?And lastly, our timelines have been absolutely ablaze this week after Natalee Barnett, founder of the women's only gym, The Girls Spot, went back on her 2021 statement that her gym would be inclusive of trans women.

It's another highly requested Everything In Conversation! This time we're diving into the discourse surrounding actor Millie Bobby Brown, after she was highly criticised for 'looking old'. Are we right to scrutinise young stars and their aesthetic choices, or have we slipped back into 00s cultural shaming?Thank you to everyone to messaged in with thoughts for this.

Happy EIC Day to all who celebrate & all who don't! This week the show is sadly still sans Ruchira but don't worry- she will be back next Weds. Running wild yet again, Beth & Oenone trade TV, book & Swedish pop recommendations before chatting everything #Oscars.

Happy Friday and even happier Everything Is Content day! This week the pod is missing our beloved Ruchira (on hols) but are determined to put on a good and- frankly chaotic- show until she's back in our arms.First up we talk about everyone's favourite luxury murder show White Lotus. Who are we loving, hating and hoping ends up dead by the end? Plus- is this latest series a familiar high-end hotel romp or a little too much of what we've seen before? Then we get firmly stuck into the latest Bridget Jones instalment. Which of us cried the most? Who got more drunk? What did we think of Mark Darcy's demise? Which hunk did we want her to end up with? And is Bridget Jones a feminist hero, a self-hating hack or a secret third option? Listen to find out!We hope you like (love) this episode just the way it is and if so… why not leave us a 5* rating and/or tell the world about us on social media?

Happy Friday! Last week we dropped the first part of our EIC special on porn, looking at the creators and platforms taking over the industry. This week our (highly anticipated) second part looks at the people behind the screens: the consumers.First up, why is porn addiction such a divisive topic among academics? And does it even exist? We answer that question and look at the deeper issues contributing to widespread compulsive porn-use.Next, we look at the rise of non-consensual user-generated porn i.e. deepfakes and revenge porn, and the fact young people are accessing this content. Finally, ethical porn has promised to right the wrongs of an often exploitative, discriminatory industry. Just how true is this, and can porn ever ethically be consumed?In Production Partnership with Cue Podcasts-----------Psyche: If you think you've got a porn addiction, you probably haven'tBBC: Is 'porn addiction' a real thing?Children's Commissioner: ‘A lot of it is actually just abuse'- Young people and pornographyChannel 4: My Deepfake PornThe Guardian: Vicky Pattison: My Deepfake Sex Tape review Girlguiding: Girls face a crisis of confidence in an unequal world Hosted on Acast.

Happy Valentines Day - as a special treat, we've got a double deep dive for you - Everything Is Content, and some things, are Adult Content.This week on the podcast we're delving into the world of OnlyFans and digital sex work for part one of our two-part Porn series. In this instalment we are going to be talking about sexy subscription services, the Lily Phillips documentary and Bonnie Blue's banned OnlyFans video.So possibly more than anything else in the history of the pod, we have been asked by you at home, to talk about OnlyFans- the London based subscription service for content creators that has seen global success and cultural notoriety since it was founded 9 years ago, becoming especially popular with adult performers and sex workers producing pornography and selling other digital sexual services.We discuss a Substack by the very popular writer, creator, PHD candidate, and podcaster Maalvika Bhat, titled “What OnlyFans Billions reveal about the market value of male desire”, and ask, do we think some men might resent the freedom that OnlyFans allows women in terms of monetising sexuality? Why do women get so much of the “blame” for OF's popularity when it's men who are the biggest customer base? Can a site like OF alter desire on a broad scale? Are we maybe even seeing this happen?We then go on to discuss 23 year old Lily Phillips and her documentary with Josh Pieters, as well as another key figure in this conversation, Bonnie Blue, a 25-year-old sex worker and content creator who became even more famous for claiming to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. Tune in next week for part-two, where we will be looking at the consumers of porn, the dangerous misuse of it, and whether or not it can ever, truly, be ethical.In Production Partnership with Cue PodcastsWhat OnlyFans billions reveal about the market value of male desire:https://maalvika.substack.com/p/what-onlyfans-billions-reveal-abouthttps://magdalene.substack.com/p/the-tech-oligarchy-is-stealing-yourLily Philips documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFySAh0g-MI&ab_channel=JoshPietershttps://www.joe.co.uk/news/bonnie-blues-1000-men-stunt-video-banned-from-onlyfans-474458https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/opinion/ashley-james-bonnie-blue/ Hosted on Acast.

It's the extra episode!! This week we're diving into the most divisive topic we've done yet: the ethics of surrogacy. Our DMs were flooded with requests for this, after Lily Collins and her husband got a huge amount of backlash for sharing the news that they'd welcomed a baby into the world through surrogacy.Thank you so much for your thoughts on this one. Just a reminder to follow us on the gram (IG, Insta, whatever you want to call it) to join in the discourse. We read out listener messages to help shape our own opinions and reflections in these Wednesday episodes.IG AND TIKTOK: @everythingiscontentpod-------It's no wonder millennial women are annoyed by Lily Collins's surrogacy – they can't afford their own kidsLike Lily Collins, I welcomed my children through surrogacy.

It's TIIIIIMEEEEE for Everything Is Content - Happy Friday EIC heads, we did it, another week bites the dust.As HUGE Motherland fans, we were eagerly anticipating the new BBC spin off Amandaland. The sitcom, produced by another love of our life, Sharon Horgan, follows Amanda (the leader of the alpha-mum's from the original show, with her perfectly blow-dried blonde hair, insufferable lack of self-awareness and yet somehow endearing charm) who is now divorced and has re-located from Chiswick to South Harlesden with her teenagers. She deals with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco-anxiety, as well as establishing herself as an interiors influencer with her new business ‘sensuous'. Joanna Lumley, who plays Felicity, Amanda's mother, is her best self as an ab-fab-esque ex model. The show has ginormous boots to fill, so we ask, has it lived up to the hype?Next up - this year's Grammys... Two people who apparently did not stay long enough to enjoy themselves were Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and his wife Bianca Censori, who showed up, stood for photos and then were apparently- if rumours are to be believed- asked to leave the ceremony following Bianca's outfit reveal. We discuss our reaction to her fit - or lack there of - and ask whether this is a sign of something horrible and sinister happening in front of our eyes, or if it's just a display from two people who are equally invested in giving us all a good show.Lastly, one of the more gorgeous moments from the Grammy's, was Tampa rapper Doechii getting her well-deserved flowers, winning best rap album and in the process becoming one of three women to win the award. We discuss her beautiful speech, her sensational lyricism, and why we are so pleased to have her in our ears.Aaaand, if you're happy to have us in your ears... a 5* review wherever you listen would mean the world, Thank you so much in advance

Happy hump day EIC heads! As a reward for making it halfway to the weekend here's a brand spanking episode of Everything In Conversation for you- and it's a doozy. This week we're discussing a new branch of the nepo baby discourse that sprouted after 24-year-old singer and Messy internet sensation Lola Young was “outed” as being the niece of mega-successful children's author Julia Donaldson (e.g. the creator of The Gruffalo). This revelation sparked conversations online about whether this connection was enough to open doors, if we even should be labelling Young a nepo baby, and what having a rich or high profile relative can mean when navigating a career in the arts. Armed with a pile of brilliant listener messages we try to find some answers, as well as getting stuck into the complications of the UK class system, code-switching, the sexism inherent in the term nepo baby and what we think we should all actually be talking about instead. Thanks so much for listening and/or taking part in this In Conversation episode. If you want to be a part of next week's discussion just follow us on IG @everythingiscontentpod. We'd also love if you could leave us a rating or a review or even share us on socials- it means the world and helps us grow!O, R, B xPrince Charles Cinema - Sign the petitionVulture : How a Nepo Baby Is BornThe i Paper : Here's why you shouldn't call me a nepo baby Square Mile : Eve Austin Hosted on Acast.

TGIF and TGIEICD (thank god it's Everything Is Content Day... is this gonna catch on?)This week, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dip their toe in the fashion discourse, if 2025 Haute Couture is anything to go by, then quiet luxury and stealth wealth might be being booted out for loud luxury, extravagance and labels, sorry Sofia Richie Grainge! Next up, Selena Gomez posted a tearful video on Instagram Stories on Monday, before quickly deleting the post. In the video, she responded to the US' nationwide immigration raids over the weekend, which saw the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest 956 people on Sunday — the largest number of arrests on a single day under Trump. He announced several extreme executive orders on immigration from his first day. US Senate candidate Sam Parker called to 'deport Selena Gomez' on X, while the left basically called her self-involved. They ask, why do you think we're so cynical of emotional outbursts online?And last but by no means least, is society shifting now towards intentional and consensual round the clock tracking? Beth found a fascinating piece called “We are all Big Brother now: The largest system of surveillance isn't run by the government or corporations. It's the grass-roots panopticon we're using to judge one another.” It was written by Alan Levinovitz, and published in the Boston Globe last June. At EIC headquarters the girls are quite worried!https://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/events/schiaparelli-and-dior-couture-review/https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/selena-gomez-crying-immigration-trump-b2687656.htmlhttps://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/06/20/opinion/nextdoor-ring-nest-grassroots-surveillance/https://fortune.com/2023/09/12/gen-z-find-my-friends-life360-location-tracking-privacy-safety/ Hosted on Acast.

Happy Friday! Happy Everything Is Content day more importantly! One story that dominated the news cycle this week - the inauguration. Whether we liked it or not, Donald Trump's speech and questionable guest-list was unavoidable. We dived into the rise of the broligarch, our fears for Trump 2.0 and the promises he's already made on trans rights and climate action (i.e. to protect neither).Life is about the light and the dark, but the Molly-Mae doc didn't really offer as many laughs as we'd hoped!

Happy Wednesday, or unhappy Wednesday, it's been a weird week. Here at the EIC newsroom, we will fill you in - welcome to Everything In Conversation.This week on the extra episode, we discuss BrewDog founder James Watt's approach to work/life balance... which is to not have one. He came under fire after he shared a video of him and his fiancé, Georgia Toffolo, where he says, ‘so I just think the whole concept of work life balance was invented by people who hate the work that they do', to which Georgia replies ‘it's so true'. After he received a huge amount of backlash, including unacceptable threats of violence, as well as lots of more balanced takes, Watt asked on LinkedIn, “What does it say about our society that a post extolling the virtues of hard work gets met with this kind of furious backlash?” calling it a “bizarre controversy”. He said: “As a nation, we love to joke about the French being lazy, but the reality is that our output per hour is 13 per cent lower than theirs." James Watt is worth an estimated 262 million pounds at present, and has also previously been accused of presiding over a “toxic” culture. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone rummage around in the mess, and with help from the listeners, try to answer the question, is The UK workforce, work-shy? https://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/24851034.roz-foyer-james-watt-spouting-nonsense-work-life-balance/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/features/has-brewdogs-toxic-culture-pierced-craft-beer-balloon/#:~:text=A%20staple%20on%20supermarket%20shelves,out%2C%20afraid%20and%20miserable%E2%80%9D.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/14/uk-is-among-most-work-shy-nations-claims-brewdog-founder/https://inews.co.uk/news/house-prices-young-people-nothing-to-work-for-3457041#:~:text=NEWSLETTER%20(%C2%A3)%20Work%20no%20longer,a%20home%20of%20their%20own.&text=This%20is%20Home%20Front%20with,newsletter%20from%20The%20i%20Paper%20.

In the famous words of Rebecca Black: "it's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!" And we're back with a brand new episode of Everything Is Content!This week we're drinking UP the Babygirl discourse like a tall glass of milk. Were we intolerant to the film, or lapping it up and asking for more? Also, there's drama in the romantasy world and it doesn't involve magical creatures, but rather humans and accusations of plagiarism. Just how unique are the themes and tropes of the genre?And finally, let's sit down around the round table to discuss the only show truly *giving* right now. Yes, The Traitors.

Happy Wednesday! You know what that means – a brand new Everything in Conversation.This week on the podcast we're diving into the viral essay that incinerated the timelines just before Christmas. Yes, we're talking about The Cut's Lilly Jay essay.For anyone who doesn't know, last year stories of an alleged affair circulated around Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. The pair soon went official, and his ex-wife Lilly Jay gained attention as a result.The chat went all sorts of places, including why the media needs a villain in a possible cheating story, the scorned woman narrative, therapy, and our views on monogamy. Let us know what you thought of the essay and our conversation, and please leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts. It really helps us out

Happy new year and welcome back to Everything is Content! We hope you've missed this as much as we have (e.g. extremely, enormously and a lot).In our first episode of 2025 we're setting our intentions for the year to come- one of us wants to go up a big hill, one of us wants to get bendy and one of us wants a full rebrand. We also discuss our relationships to reinvention and ask: is it toxic to say no to rotting in bed? Next up: the agony of texting men. Is text-debt a real thing or are we over-reliant on texting as a replacement for in-person friendship and connection? Aaaaand finally we're looking at the latest legal drama in Hollywood as the Lively vs. Baldoni vs. NYTimes cases pick up momentum. Why are we so quick to criticise famous women and can these witch hunts and PR smear campaigns finally end with us? As ever thank you for listening! Could you help us start 2025 off right by sharing us on your socials or in your most distinguished group chat? And if you're feeling fancy, how about a 5 star review would?

It's the penultimate episode of Everything is Content for 2024! Sadly Beth was travelling this week, so Oenone and Ruchira lead this very special extra episode. This week, the girls are in conversation with *the Emma Appleton*. You might know her as the lead from Dolly Alderton's BBC adaptation of her memoir, Everything I Know About Love, but she's now leading Paramount's new rom-com series The Road Trip, based on the book of the same name by bestselling author Beth O'Leary. The six part series starts with a wedding trip to Spain which takes an unexpected turn for Addie (played by Emma) and her sister Deb, when they're forced to share a campervan with Addie's ex Dylan, his friend Marcus, and a stranger Rodney. Here at EIC headquarters we can confirm the series is a gorgeous look at relationships in your 20s, navigating life and what happens when it all goes wrong. The Road Trip will be available to stream on Paramount+ from 26th December 2024. You can follow Emma on instagram @emmajappleton.Please do let us know if there are any other guests you'd love to hear from, you can message us @everythingiscontentpod on Instagram. Hosted on Acast.

Adapted from the 2021 bestselling book of the same name, Nightbitch explores femininity, rage, marriage and parenting without a pack. We give our thoughts and share what the reviews are saying.Finally- one of the weirdest weeks online for a while.
