Shouldn't Laugh But...Laura Smyth & Carmen Butcher10 Mar

Should Britney Have Been Freed? Harry Styles’ Accent & RAYE’s being petty

This week on Shouldn’t Laugh But, Laura and Carmen dive straight into the chaos that is Britney Spears. From the head shaving era to the conservatorship and the recent internet debate of “maybe we shouldn’t have freed Britney”, they try to answer the impossible question: what does actual support for a mega famous pop star even look like?

They also get into Harry Styles’ mysterious ever-changing accent, why British people simply cannot take anything seriously (especially grief), and Raye’s very public “where the hell is my husband?” era which sparks a deep dive into heartbreak, petty revenge and whether men who hurt you ever actually care.

Plus, Lily Allen is turning post break up rage into performance art with a dress covered in receipts and a spotlight for unsuspecting men in the audience.

And finally, personal updates: Laura has been living the celeb adjacent life at Alan Davies’ birthday party, while Carmen returns from a wholesome Canadian ski trip straight into the gritty reality of New York, where the steaks are good, the arguments are loud, and the crackheads are plentiful.

Sleep deprived, slightly feral, and still chasing the dream of becoming podcast millionaires.
