Lana Del Rey And The Pitfalls Of White Feminism

Last week we talked about white fragility and white feminism, this week we're seeing it in action all over again. Queen of the Sad Girls™️ Lana Del Rey landed herself in hot water this week with her strange and ill-advised Instagram PSA, suggesting there is no 'room for people who like her' in the culture. What is she talking about! And how does race a play a role? Plus, how Scarlett Curtis' raw honesty is opening up the conversation about depression, a new rom-com to sink your teeth into, and a break-down of The Times' big deep dive into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's escape to LA. Where will they live? Who are they hanging out with? Why are they so obsessed with Soho House? Listen now and, as always, rate, review and subscribe.
