Were you born in the in-between years of Millennials and Gen Z? Did you grow up in a time when social media was on the rise? Are you still a One Direction stan? Then Locals Not Welcome is the podcast for you! We talk about anything and everything, especially our experiences as stans and growing up in a crossed generation. Join us as we go off on tangents about all the things we love (and also hate) in this world. Everyone is welcome!
This title is pretty long winded but it sums up this season of Bachelor in Paradise a little too well. Why was everyone licking/eating food off of each other? Is that the secret to a successful relationship or engagement? If so, count us out. We have to admit that we are sad about Paradise ending this season, especially because we are obsessed with Noah and Abigail, but all good things must come to an end. We wish all of the Paradise couples the best (but mostly Noah and Abigail...and Joe and Serena). PEACE!

Did you really think that we would avoid talking about a One Direction member in an episode? Obviously not. Then we mostly talk about nothing (as per usual). There was an idea. An idea to publicly air our grievances about life on the podcast. Of course it turned into something a little different than planned. And we are also way too tired to complain at the moment. Catch us back in two weeks and maybe there will be some more random news about a member of One Direction for us to share. Make sure to follow us on Instagram @localsnotwelcome and please, for the love of god, someone email Kellie at localsnotwelcome@gmail.com. BYEEEE!!!!!
There are two things we have to say to sum this episode up. Cat Connor is the only man in the world and Brendan and Pie-per stink!!!!! It's hard to find the words to explain how angry we are over the Brendan/Pieper situation and how we are feeling SO super hard for Natasha. Natasha we love and support you and you are a true baller. Team Natasha. Team Cat Connor. Follow us on Instagram @localsnotwelcome and email us at localsnotwelcome@gmail.com yeehaw
What do you get when you mix One Direction, The Wanted and Little Mix's Jesy Nelson? This episode. We truly have never laughed so hard in our lives. We have no other words to describe it because it's just chaotic hilarity. Please listen for an immediate boost of serotonin! And please make sure your volume is NOT all the way up at the end unless you want to temporarily lose your hearing! Make sure to follow us on Instagram @localsnotwelcome and email us at localsnotwelcome@gmail.com. Ha u clown
Surprise, surprise! We are back and once again, did not look anything up and recorded this with the most basic knowledge about the whole Britney Spears conservatorship situation. And it made us SUPER sad (sorry for the clear mood change. It just stinks to watch it all happen and really not be able to do anything for the legend herself). We love her so much and only want the best for her as this case continues! Locals Not Welcome Law Firm will get right on the case. Make sure to follow us on Instagram @localsnotwelcome and email us with questions, comments or queries to localsnotwelcome@gmail.com. Do it for Britney.
Did you expect us to look up anything beforehand? Turns out Bachelorette's Greg Grippo is NOT 24, but 28. (*insert Justin face meme*) Oop! This week's episode, we discuss our Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise thoughts and predictions. Rest in Paradise to the kings who got sent home
I think all you need to know about this episode is that we talk about new songs from Ed Sheeran, Lorde and Luke Hemmings. And based on the title, it's pretty easy to guess our feelings on them. We expected so much more for comeback songs from Ed and Lorde and amazing first solo hit from Luke, but we are let down. Will it stop us from seeing them live if they tour in the states soon? Probably not. Take a listen to their songs and let us know what you think! Slide in the DMs at @localsnotwelcome on Instagram or email us at localsnotwelcome@gmail.com.
Everybody ships somebody sometimes.... Usually it's lighthearted and fun, but other times, lines are crossed very very far. On our TENTH (OMG!!!) episode, we talk about our favorite ships, least favorite ships and most problematic ships. Larry fans, our eyes are on you. As always, follow us on Instagram @localsnotwelcome and as Kellie would love for you to do, shoot us an email at localsnotwelcome@gmail.com. LYLAS
“You throw your hair into a messy bun, put on your converse and head downstairs. You plop down step by step, getting to the bottom only to find One Direction standing there, with their multi-colored orbs staring directly into your soul”….is something we would've written in 2012, along with every other 14 year old girl. We all stayed up until 2 A.M. secretly reading classic works like “Dark” and “After”. The world of fanfiction is wild, to say the least, and we hardly scratched the surface in this episode. Especially because we spent like seven minutes of it cracking up and unable to compose ourselves!! Enjoy and hopefully Niall doesn't end up in your ear!
Our feelings are obviously very sweet towards SOUR! We seriously cannot get enough of this album, so we had no choice but to record an album review bonus episode about it. It's brutal out here, but more bearable with SOUR on repeat!! Queen Olivia Rodrigo, we stan you so freakin' hard!!!
We love Olivia Rodrigo. And we especially love her in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. We also live for celebrity drama and breakup albums that follow suit. On this episode, we get into the Olivia, Josh and Sabrina drama (that just seems so old but continues to live on). Sadly, this was pre-recorded the day before SOUR dropped, but stay tuned for our mini album review next episode!
We just don't get it. And clearly neither did Taylor Swift because she fought right back!! Just look at her video for "The Man"! On this episode, we discuss the only woman in the world, Taylor Swift, and her battle with Big Machine and Scooter Braun. Be warned there is a bit of a Jonas Brothers tangent (Kellie met them, we just could not help it. Also to be fair, they are connected to Taylor). We're just two casual Taylor Swift fans, standing in front of the LNW listeners, asking them to understand our on the spot research. Taylor we love you and we love your mind and your music. Fearless (Taylor's Version) out now
It's our Oscars 2021 recap, and as most award shows go, it always ends with us feeling not mad about it, just disappointed. And to no surprise, the Oscars sort of ended like that. We chit chat about the fashion, the snubs, the production and of course Glenn Close doin' da butt (which we found out was planned as per queen Glenn Close's Instagram. Sad!). Roll out the red carpet and join us for our classiest show yet, as we rip on famous people who could not care less about us! Thank you Academy!
Welcome back to our official episode three of LNW! We dive right on into the world of crappy official merchandise and ask, why? Why is it that artist's official stores have the worst merchandise ever? Did they make an attempt to try, or try too hard and give us absolutely ~nothing~? We'd like to give them another shot to try again, but if it doesn't happen soon, expect us rioting outside the gates. Follow us @localsnotwelcome on Instagram for any and all updates on future merchandise rioting!
SURPRISE! A bonus episode! Recent Twitter drama ~inspired~ us to record an extra episode about it. If you have not seen the international trending topic, "JUSTICE FOR 1D AND LITTLE MIX", let us enlighten you. Pop duo Jedward tweeted about abuse in the music industry by power hungry executives. Many other artists that are products of the X Factor have been mentioned, most notably One Direction and Little Mix. Join us in our first ever bonus episode and give justice where it is due!
Locals Not Welcome? More like BULLIES NOT WELCOME*! What started as an episode that was supposed to be completely about social media turned into some side ranting about merchandise, celebrity mall meet and greets and our online bullying experience. We love the stans, but sometimes it's just too intense to handle. Enjoy episode two and make sure to follow us on Instagram at @localsnotwelcome! Shawn Mendes, if you see this, we remember that you were a part of Magcon. *TW: Online bullying including brief mentions of suicide. If you would like to skip, the time stamps to skip are 09:19-09:30 and 10:50-11:15. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
Welcome to the first episode of Locals Not Welcome! On this episode, we give an introduction of what LNW is all about and how it came to be. Why do we gatekeep Harry Styles you might ask? Why are we turning back into our 14 year old selves? Boy, do we have an answer for you! Get your One Direction cardboard cutouts ready and go off with us, queens!
