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.

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

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.

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. What films have we seen, what moments did we love, who was dressed to the nines & who failed to fully deliver on the red carpet(s)? Next up we deconstruct the themes of Anora- feminist masterpiece, stymied by the male gaze or a secret third thing?And to finish we're talking about 'flirting parties'- a fascinating new event as tested by Rachel Connolly for The Cut.

Happy Hump Day EIC heads - we've got another author special for you!Our beloved Beth is ill, so she's resting up, but Ruchira & Oenone are holding the fort and they've got an amazing interview for you with debut novelist Dr Nussaibah Younis.Nussaibah is a peace-building practitioner and a globally recognised expert on contemporary Iraq, and even advised the Iraqi government on humanitarian issues. We are talking to her about her debut novel Fundamentally, a book we all adored FYI, and Stylist's debut book of the year, which is out now. 'A wickedly funny and audacious debut novel following an academic who flees from heartbreak and lands in Iraq with an insane job offer—only to be forced to do the work of confronting herself.'Follow Nussaibah on Instagram @nussaibahyounis and pick up your copy of Fundamentally here or in any good book shop!

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 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.

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.

Ho-ho-how is it less than two weeks to Christmas already?!On this most jolly Friday the 13th, join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone for a look at Sabrina Carpenter's Christmas special (now airing on Netflix). What were our fav bits and do we think SC could be ready to ascend to Mariah Carey levels of December Diva-hood? Also this week- a film about a harried mother who thinks she's turning into a dog. 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. After the murder of a healthcare insurance CEO in New York, the internet is thirsting openly, unabashedly and without shame over his accused killer. Is this a symptom of the ongoing irony epidemic or are we just... missing the joke?Thank you as always for listening to Everything is Content.

Happy birthday to us! EIC is officially a year old! Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone as they briefly become Miranda Priestly for the week, delivering the highs and lows of the celeb-filled Fashion Awards. Did you see that Rita Ora wore custom Primark on the red carpet...? We've got lots to talk about there.Also this week, a woman proudly shared the news she had passed her PHD viva. Time to celebrate right? Wrong – a swarm of incel/loser men descended on her online like flies on a [redacted]. Let us tell you what exactly went down, and what we can learn from the truly unhinged altercation. And finally le freak, c'est chic! At least, according to our beloved Julia Fox. This week our fave diva shared her tips for embracing being an outsider, and learning to lean into the freak. (Julia if you see this come on the pod!)We've said it before and we'll say it until our last breath – thank you so much for listening to us. Could you share us with a friend as a birthday gift?

What is this feeling so sudden and new? Yes, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone saw Wicked and they're not afraid to report back. Welcome to a very special, very magical (and very juicy) Wicked episode. Listen to find out their review of the year's biggest blockbuster. There were lots of tears... from Cynthia and Ariana. How did the rollout for Wicked turn out so unhinged? Is this an example of theatre kid behaviour and unrestrained earnestness, or something darker? Also, could this set the new bar for what movie marketing looks like from now on? Say what you want but every minute of Wicked's BTS has gone viral. Thanks for listening to this week's episode. We especially adore those who tune in for our bonus eps, follow and rate us five stars.

Beth, Ruchira and Oenone have been watching, listening and reading... as always. This week, they've all been binging the new historical drama, Say Nothing. The new nine part Disney Plus show is an adaptation of Patrick Redden Keefe's bestselling book of the same name. The book came out in 2018, the series just dropped last week. It follows closely to the narrative of the book, which was about the Troubles, the IRA, the provisional IRA and a now notorious woman at the centre of it all, Dolours Price.Next up, in an interview with Eva Wiseman for the Observer, actor and director Rebecca Hall says she doesn't regret working with Woody Allen - a statement which unsurprisingly inspired many a headline. Shockingly, this wasn't the only viral moment of the piece, as Hall also detailed her unconventional wedding to husband and fellow actor Morgan Spector.And lastly, would you want a Sexiest Woman of The Year Award? Or is the men's one already bad enough? In a piece for Grazia titled '‘Sexiest Man Alive': Here's Why Lusting Over Men Is Different To Lusting Over Women', the writer Nikki Peach argues that the world is not yet evolved enough for this to happen. Do you agree?Thank you so much for listening - Please make sure you're following us both here on your podcast app and on Instagram & TikTok @everythingiscontentpod and if you fancy leaving us a rating or review... we heard 5 stars is nice this time of year.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ally McBealBreedersSay Nothing I, DoloursLucy Mangan, Say Nothing ReviewVulture Say NothingRebecca Hall Observer InterviewRebecca Hall brutally mocked over wild wedding day remarksOn People Magazine's Sudden Interest in Black People for their “Sexiest Man Alive” CoverThe confusing recent history of People's Sexiest Man Alive‘Sexiest Man Alive': Here's Why Lusting Over Men Is Different To Lusting Over WomenPeople Went With Mass Appeal for Its ‘Sexiest Man' Hosted on Acast.

For the second time this week Beth, Ruchira and Oenone are in your ears talking all things pop culture.First we're discussing Skincare- a film that sounds like it has all the active ingredients for glowing success. Elizabeth Banks stars as an aesthetician & skincare mogul whose life starts to wrinkle after being targeted on & offline. 5 stars or total wet flannel?Next up we're examining the charm of middlebrow movies- e.g. the films that don't break the box office or re-invent cinema but are perfectly good nonetheless. Where did they go and can we have them back before the Marvel and Mattel takeover is complete?Finally we're scrolling down under as Australia proposes plans to kick all kids off social media. The news has been met with both praise and criticism- could it actually do some good or is it too little too late from governments who haven't thought things through?Thank you so much for listening!

Happy Friday (following the longest week of 2024).First up, artist and poet James Massiah has claimed that bestselling author Coco Mellors (Blue Sisters) brazenly based one of her characters on him. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dig into the story and ask: just how much can artists borrow from real life, especially when inspiration comes from people around them? Also, would you sign up for an influencer academy? A New York Times feature dives into influencer Valeria Lipovetsky's new and exclusive scheme that promises to help budding influencers break into the industry. Is it a scam or a savvy business idea for everyone involved?And finally, a "global gender divide" is sweeping the world, as experts warn that more and more young men are voting right, as young women vote progressively. A political split is widening between the two everywhere from the UK, to South Korea and Tunisia. Are we f****d as a society? Thank you so much for listening to us.

BOO - Beth, Ruchira and Oenone are back to scare you with some scarily-astute analysis of pop culture in time for Halloween week. First, just how much do they love horror as a genre? From memories of sleepovers and scary-movies, to the recent rise of artistic horrors with social commentary i.e. Jordan Peele's 'Get Out', they dive into their changing relationship to jump-scares and frightening films. Also, listen to hear their best horror recommendations across literature, TV and film.A new meme has the internet in a chokehold. 'Gay Halloween' has radically changed the dressing-up landscape, with people boasting about their pop culture knowledge by donning the most obscure referential costume they can, so only the chronically online understand it. Is it fun or is it pretentious? Finally, we can't forget the real world is full of horrifying things including recent stats that show a significant decline in birth rates. Should women bear the brunt of this societal issue? Whose responsibility is it that we're moving towards an ageing population?If you have anything you want to add to this week's episode we would LOVE to hear it on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod.

This week on the Podcast, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone discuss the devastating news that broke last week, that One Direction singer Liam Payne had died unexpectedly and tragically at the age of 31 in Argentina. We think most people have felt this is quite seismic, and wanted to look at how the coverage of this has seemed and felt so far, both in the papers and on social media. Is it time for there to be a reckoning with how we deal with celebrity death? You can skip to roughly 37 minutes if you want to skip this section.As a pop culture podcast we also had to cover this week's lighter stories, including the show of the moment we're all tuning in for, the BONKBUSTER that is Rivals. If you're looking for a rollicking good romp in Rutshire, then look no further, Jilly Cooper's 1988 novel has been adapted into a TV series, now streaming on Disney plus.And lastly, Daniel Felsenthal wrote a piece for The Guardian titled ‘I'm 33 and my husband is 77 - this is why I only sleep with older men”, is the age-gap discourse ever going to be put to bed?Penguin - Love in Exile by Shon FayeThe Guardian - The Apprentice The Guardian- Slow HorsesDazed - Liam Payne and our grim cultural obsession with celebrity deathsNew Statesman - Liam Payne was a victim of the pop pin-up machine NBC - 1D fans condemn online harassment of Maya Henry Cheryl Cole Instagram Telegraph - Rivals Review The Guardian - Rivals ReviewThe Guardian - I'm 33 and my husband is 77 Hosted on Acast.

This week on pod, The Three Musketeers are back together. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone soldier through the battlefield of streaming services, why is it that Netflix loves to cancel shows in their infancy? We want to fight them! Kaos might not have reached number one on Netflix's charts, but it certainly has become beloved to everyone who has plunged their eyeballs into the reimagined Greek Mythology. The action centres around various prophecies, relationships and quests as Zeus tries to prevent the fall of his powerful family. It's inventive, it's sexy, it's dramatic, it's different. And now it's done. Next up - how far are you willing to go for a good smile? A piece in the Guardian this week dives into the world of veneers, specifically why cosmetic dentistry is such a booming industry and what happens when the pursuit for perfect teeth goes horrifically wrong. It's clear there's a booming popularity in getting picture-perfect teeth, but would you go for veneers? Does it appeal to you?Lastly, after a 6 year hiatus, The iconic display of Angels is back -The Victoria's Secret's catwalk show took place for the first time since 2018 - we ask, Is there a place for the Victoria's Secret Show in 2024?English Teacher On Disney PlusBrian Jordan Alvarez XKaos On Netflix Jawbreakers Young patients want beautifully imperfect veneers.

It's Sally Rooney week here at Everything is Content!Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dive into their pop culture recommendations from the week, before plunging into the biggest literary event of the year: Sally Rooney's new novel Intermezzo.So, how good is it? The girls answer that core question, and dissect just how compelling her male characters are. The chat is fairly spoiler free, but do skip onto the next segment around the 30 minute mark if you want to be extra cautious.Next-up, discourse around Rooney and her mostly thin characters was firing up the timeline even before Intermezzo dropped. Just how justified are these arguments against the alleged "great millennial writer" of our time? Finally, what can we learn from Rooney's astonishing success when it comes to publishing at large? Do other diverse writers get the same chances for global stardom?Want to keep the conversation going? You can message us on our socials.

This week it's our beloved Oenone's turn to be ill- she was very missed but the show went on with Ruchira and Beth getting stuck into the debate about modern concert etiquette after a viral call out after a Chappell Roan gig. Are we forgetting how to behave at events or are times simply changing?Next up is Jamali Maddix's documentary on so-called ‘passport bros' who encourage young men to travel to South America to find better lives and better wives. A sinister male MLM in the making or just a passing fad- we discuss. And lastly The New York Times investigated a ‘Skinny Influencer' after she was banned from TikTok for videos that some believe encourage disordered eating. Is this a move in the right direction or social media censorship? And why can't we escape the cult of thinness? This final conversation contains potentially triggering mention of eating disorders and diet culture, so please listen with care.

Gorgeous babe Beth is ill this week, so Oenone and Ruchira steer the content ship into port. The pair dive into Netflix's new documentary starring funny-man Will Ferrell and his long-time bestie and collaborator, Harper Steele. The documentary makes for a tearful, moving examination of friendship, allyship, and what it means to be a trans woman in the US. Grab your tissues before watching! Next-up, Vogue dropped a new series starting with a day-in-the-life as actress, artist and it girl Jemima Kirke. At one point she writes that she's bought a kitten and is yet to deliver it to a friend. Why do we love knowing the unusual details of a celeb's life? And finally, a New Yorker piece takes a 360-view of a rising trend of people going 'no-contact' with their parents.

What are THOSE!? Oenone shares some troubling news about the return of heeled trainers... Once we spiritually recovered, we dived into Chappell Roan's frustration at "creepy" fans, to investigate what exactly do celebs owe us. Should we feel offended, or commend her for setting a boundary? We also speak about our favourite 30-something marketing hot-mess, Emily, who is still in Paris. Why do people hate her? And finally Beth wrote an opinion piece about moving out of London and in with her parents, and it pushed A LOT of people's buttons online.

Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone for this loved-up edition of Everything Is Content! So… what happened this week, lovebirds? A terrifying turtle was fished out of a pond in Cumbria, Ice Spice learned the rules of American football and we all got to enjoy Zac Efron's Lord Farquad-esque hairdo in The Iron Claw. And look, we are going to talk about the Super Bowl - but we're going to steer clear of Taylor Swift discourse for this week. Every time we mention her we'll be putting £1 in our private jet fund... promise. And a gentle reminder for you to get your copy of Eliza Clark's Penance. We'll be discussing it on the podcast on 8th March.

It was the week that Elmo asked us if we were all ok… spoiler alert: we're not. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone have been to a VERY exciting screening... there's a deep dive on stan culture (please don't come for us!) and we take a look at how our 2024 reading goals are going so far. Warning: your TBR may double (or triple) in size after this episode... Let us know on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod what book you'd like us to read together - we'll decide before next week's episode and then will all discuss it together in March!
