Ofc The Traitors finale fall out had to quickly be discussed prior to kicking off proceedings today, huns, followed by an analysis of the off-the-charts chemistry between Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott in All of Us Strangers. The gorgeous new film had Ellie swooning and weeping in equal measure, and she explains why the director wanted to change ‘straight liberal' misconceptions of queer sex. Plus, Paul Mescal has been on the Louis Theroux podcast and, shocker, we're still finding Louis's narcissistic interview style annoying. In the world of TV, Kathleen recommends Nicole Kidman's glossy new Amazon Prime thriller Expats, another 'rich people thriller' but this time based in Hong Kong, that has been already dubbed 'the best show of 2024' by Time. We debate why Nicole has received criticism over her work — professional and cosmetic. Speaking of cosmetic surgery, we get into the deeply disturbing reports of children's 12-step anti-ageing routines. Finally, we dive into Netflix's latest true crime offering America Nightmare, which saw a kidnapping case tragically bungled by the media's misogynistic obsession with Rosamund Pike thriller Gone Girl. Also: why are there so many unanswered questions? Get in touch with thoughts, reccos and anything else you fancy by sending us a DM @straightuppod on Insta! We absolutely love hearing from you.

You asked and so we've delivered huns, with a deepdive into Sofia Coppola's new film Priscilla, starring none other than the internet's new boyfriend Jacob Elordi. We discuss how the film sits uncomfortably within the grey area between love and coercive control, and whether it would have been described as grooming in our current era. Plus, everything we know about Jacob Elordi to date: from first roles and first loves to his thoughts on everything from handbags to celebrity interviews. Consider us obsessed. Also, what the tween craze for Stanley Cups says about girls today (with a trip down memory lane to our own school status symbols) and whether the latest, hilarious Paul Mescal rumours could possibly be true.

TAXI TV has been “on the air” for at least 13 years, and we've never done an episode featuring a pair of earphones. The reason is; I've never heard any that were impressive enough to tell you about. But now I have, and this week I'm going to share them with you! While other manufacturers have seemingly tried to improve the listening/hearing experience by building a better “mousetrap,” Flare Audio studied the “mouse” first. Well, actually, the human ear, and how it degrades sound. Flare's E-Prototype earphones dramatically reduce the natural distortion the ear canal introduces, and the result is noticeable. The imaging is impressive, the EQ curve sounds balanced and true, ear fatigue is greatly diminished (if not non-existent), and I'm hearing things/parts/instruments I've never heard before—even in my beloved Steely Dan songs I've used as my control room references for decades. Want to Win a Pair of Flare's E-Prototypes? Flare's Co-Founder, Davies Roberts is staying up very late (in the U.K.) to join us for this live episode (4pm Pacific time), and he's going to give away a pair or two of E-Prototypes! We'll also play the video Flare used for their GofundMe campaign and do a lot of Q&A with Davies, and hopefully, his wife and Co-Founder, Naomi. Can You Tell I'm Excited to Turn You on to Flare? I was introduced to the E-Prototypes by a close friend who's done high-level audio restoration for Warner Bros. and several other companies for decades. He's got very discerning ears and insisted that I check his E-Prototypes out. I did, and the rest, as they say, is history!

We are SO excited to share this fascinating chat with our favourite chef and cookery writer Gizzi Erskine with you all this week, getting into everything from naked dinner parties to psychedelics, via public shaming, misogyny and body image. Author of killer books from Gizzi's Healthy Appetite to Slow and Restore, you might recognise Gizzi from her various TV appearances over the years, or perhaps from her lockdown fakeway brand with Professor Green, Giz and Greens. She's a proper celeb chef and a pop culture icon, writing regularly for the Independent and as a London party scene fave, with a whole host of famous friends and fascinating insight into that world. Gizzi talks incredibly honestly about how her extreme ADHD and cyclothymic disorder made life feel like utter “chaos” for decades, and how she's since come through the other side, after addiction, losing all five of her businesses last year and hitting financial rock bottom. Ever the optimist, Gizzi reveals all the ways she's been putting her life back together, from experimenting with different mushrooms, to settling down in Brighton. And, of course, her must-try restaurants in the UK! Enjoy huns, don't forget to leave a review, and shoot us a DM with your thoughts on the episode @straightuppod on Insta. Thank you so much to our wonderful partner Flare Audio, who have game-changed the way we sleep thanks to their amazingly nifty little earplugs, Sleeeps, which totally block out pesky sounds — from snoring to traffic — ensuring a peaceful night's sleep.

Critical listening is the ultimate skill of the recording enthusiast and headphones are the tool we trust most to enable this skill. Why? Well, because most of us are not working in ideal spaces and it's much easier to get an objective (and affordable) perspective in headphones. But what kind of headphones should we use? The answer depends in large part on application - although some designs do tend to serve us better than others. If you asked me 4 months ago, I would have told you to stay away from ear bud designs in the studio. The sound quality out of those things just tends to be too poor for a studio reference tool (thought they're obviously great for jogging, traveling, etc.,). However, today, our friends at Flare Audio have developed a new ear bud called the E Prototype which has completely blown me away. In the first part of this episode, Vadim chats with Davies Roberts of Flare Audio about the problem with traditional headphone designs and how they were able to overcome them with the E Prototypes. In the second part Vadim talks about some best practices and tips and tricks for working in headphones in YOUR studio.
