Millennials Were The Last Generation To Have It All

From low-stakes internet use, to an iconic era of pop culture moments: Were millennials the last generation to really have it all? That slight crunch you can hear is special guest Amelia Lester flexing for all she's worth.

Plus, our recommendations include a deeply original novel, some no-bullshit health advice and a lipliner that's taken someone's lip game up a notch.

And our Bests & Worsts of the week: an amalgamation of singing, dancing and having nightmares – all at the same time.
