Hi hi hi! Coming up on today’s show: “It’s giving mean girl”. We see this kind of comment all the time, on our own socials, and all across the internet. But what does it actually mean? What is ‘mean girl energy’ – what are ‘mean girl vibes’? This language is so evocative, but are we actually using it to call out mean behaviour, or are we using it to just… shut women down?

Hello! On today’s show: Lily Allen and her new album, of course, we decode the lyrics, the stories, as much as we possibly can.  Plus, Kristen Bell strikes twice, all the latest in Prince Andrew’s disastrous fall from grace, and it would appear Sophie Turner and Chris Martin are dating?

Hi there! Coming up on today’s show: it seems like every time SNL cast member Chloe Fineman is mentioned on the internet, the top comment is always something like – “She’s funny, but she’s a Scientologist.” Is it true that Chloe Fineman and her family have ties to Scientology? If it is… wouldn’t that make her a victim who deserves our sympathy, not some big bad bully who deserves to be taken down a peg? On today’s show, Zara recommended Jennifer Aniston on Armchair Expert.  Huge thanks to Love Island Australia for making this episode of Shameless possible.

Hello! On today’s show: Calling all Benson Booners!!! His ex-girlfriend is hinting that all did not end well in their relationship, and we need to spend HEAPS of time talking about it. Plus, that Kristen Bell anniversary post, the Hailey Bieber/Selena Gomez headlines kick off again, we wouldn’t mind talking about the Golden Bachelor, if that’s OK? And then, wtf is 6 7.

Hiya! Coming up on today’s show: “What about me?” That is the overwhelming theme within so many comment sections these days, and we wanted to deep it. Why do we feel like absolutely everything we see on the internet has to be tailored individually to us? Is this just the natural reaction to how ultra-personalised our algorithms have become? Thankyou so much to Elite Eleven for making this episode of Shameless possible. Also, shout-out to Bumble! On today’s show, Mich recommended Ted Sarandos on the Aspire Podcast.

Hiya!  On today’s show: Louis Tomlinson’s interview on the DOAC might just be the best celebrity interview we’ve ever listened to, Dolly Parton posted a… proof-of-life video but more on that later, and we might have our ‘first egg on us for egging ourselves too early’ situation on our hands, because Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau very much look like a couple!!!! Then, we share some of Diane Keaton’s most iconic quotes after the news of her passing, and finally, why is Travis Kelce signing Taylor Swift’s CDs lol. This week, Zara recommended Louis Theroux interviewing Ed Sheeran. And here is the link to Louis Tomlinson on The Diary of a CEO. Big thanks to Bumble for making this episode possible.
