HUSH HUSH

In this weeks episode we explore the difference between meeting your S/O online or IRL. We share some juicy stories from our own past experiences and share whether online dating is or isn't for us. Fake profiles, tinder bios, hinge prompts, disaster dates - we discussed it ALL.

*TW: death* In this weeks episode we unpack the heavy topics of death and grief. As sad as it is we are all / will be affected by death at some point in our lives whether it be a family member, friend or acquaintance. We feel that we can do more to open up these tough conversations and have tried to do so in this episode while also weeping positive. Most importantly this episode is dedicated to Gabs' dad who sadly passed away before Christmas of 2021.

*TW Sexual Violence On this weeks episode of Hush Hush we sat down with two members of Edi Anonymous, an Instagram page who share anonymous submissions of survivors of sexual violence in Edinburgh with the aim to empower victims and raise awareness. In this powerful episode we went right back to the very start of Edi Anonymous, from why and how it started to where they are now: a team of five, helping students and young people in Edinburgh share their experiences of sexual violence to raise awareness and to educate others.

On this weeks episode we debunked the meaning behind the term 'psycho' - especially when used in (or after) a relationship. A whopping 76% of our listeners voted to say they had been called a psycho in the past so we decided to get to the bottom of why the word is used so loosely. Join us this week as we spill the tea on our own experience of portraying 'psychotic' behaviour and share our lovely listeners experiences of being called a psycho. We 100% guarantee that you will find out whether you are a REAL psycho by the end of this episode (spoiler alert: you probably aren't unless you have been medically diagnosed as a literal psychopath)

On this weeks episode we're back with our mini series 'The sex ed you never had' where we talk about all the things we didn't learn about sex in school. Recently, the Scottish Government announced they were going to start issuing anonymous surveys to high school students that ask intimate questions about sex, relationships and even drugs in an attempt to broaden the sex education curriculum in schools. These surveys have caused a lot of controversy with parents and councils who don't want children answering such 'intrusive' questions but the reality is: we need to stop acting as if talking about sex is illegal.

On this weeks episode of Hush Hush we chatted to Eilidh Galloway all about "becoming comfortable with who you are". Eilidh is half Scottish, half Japanese and spoke to us about struggled with her self-identity while living in Scotland with little Japanese culture representation around her. After deciding to study Japanese at Oxford (she's a smart one) and moving to Japan for a year abroad, she was faced with an identity crisis as people treated her differently because of her Scottish heritage, leaving her feeling as if she had nowhere to belong. Join us this week and learn how Eilidh eventually discovered her identity and became comfortable with who she is.

This week on Hush Hush we bring you an episode all about friendships following some recent celebs comments on how they don't have time for friends.

T/W SUICIDE This week on Hush Hush we talk with our good friend Rachel Turner to commemorate the end of national grief awareness week. At a young age Rachel sadly lost her mother to suicide and today she spoke to us about the journey of her grieving process and where she is now. Rachel is one of the most positive people we know and has grown so much throughout her life and is truly an inspiration to others. We hope that Rachel can be a beacon of hope to others who may be going through a similar experience and can offer some support to those feeling alone.

On this week's episode we discuss how quickly news is picked up then dropped over social media.

We want to continue the difficult conversations of these topics and use our platform to speak up on them. As terrible as some of it is, we mustn't forget.
