Mean Girl Energy

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? This episode of Shameless is brought to you by CeraVe’s Blemish Control range – Developed with Dermatologists to help you Clear it Up Like A Derm. Your hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1). Shameless Podcast is produced by Annabelle Lee and Eilish Gilligan, executive-produced by Lucy Hunt and audio-edited by Eilish Gilligan.

BOOK CLUB: Seeing Other People

BOOK CLUB: Seeing Other People

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0GE2gcv3W20yNKAHaWphWu?si=68074612b7ed419d Hello, book clubbers! This month, we read Aussie author Diana Reid’s second novel, Seeing Other People. Seeing Other People follows two sisters, Eleanor and Charlie, living two very different lifestyles in Sydney after lockdown. When the novel begins, Eleanor has a corporate job and is in a relationship with Mark, Charlie is an actress living in a sharehouse with friends (namely, her long-time crush Helen). Then, all these characters suddenly collide, and Eleanor and Charlie’s seemingly sturdy bond is put to the ultimate test. Annabelle got to interview the very clever Diana Reid for this one - we will play that chat in the second half of this episode. Got some thoughts on our November pick, ‘Cleopatra and Frankenstein’ by Coco Mellors? We’re allllll ears (also, eyes, heads, bodies, etc etc) - join in the convo over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub. Or, if you’re after some variety, here’s a link to record a voice message via our website, too. Big thanks to Simon and Schuster Australia for making this episode possible. Head to any good bookstore or online to get your hands on It Starts With Us - the highly anticipated sequel to It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. You can browse the eBook and audiobook versions of past book club picks in our room on Apple Books! Have a look-see right here. (You might spot our little baby, The Space Between, in the mix there, too.) Want to support our show?

Jesus Christ sexy baby!

Jesus Christ sexy baby!

Hellooooo, everyone! On today’s show: Who is YungSweetRo and what do we make of the rumours that Travis Scott has been cheating on Kylie? Sophie Cachia announces that her engagement to professional basketballer Maddie Garrick has been called off, who the hell is advising James Corden right now? We can now name the A-lister who reportedly had a fling with Harry Styles before Olivia Wilde, and then: the biggest moment in music in the last decade - Midnights, the tenth studio album by Taylor Swift has dropped, and there’s so very much to unpack. This week, Mich recommended Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. Zara recommended ‘A Portrait of the Artist as Taylor Swift’ from Into It: A Vulture Podcast With Sam Sanders, as well as Bad Sisters on Apple TV.

Mary-Kate and Ashley: Part one

Mary-Kate and Ashley: Part one

Happy Monday, everybody! Today, we’re heading back to 1986. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were the sisters you likely grew up watching: twins who took the television industry - and the world - by storm when they were just babies. But growing up under the spotlight came with countless challenges. Got some thoughts on this scandal you wanna share?

An Apple Watch and some salad dressing

An Apple Watch and some salad dressing

Hello, mates! On today’s show: Em Rata has launched a podcast that seems… an awful lot like another podcast. Why James Corden was banned - then unbanned - from a New York City restaurant, Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber had a way better plan than leaving a love heart emoji on each other’s TikToks, Drew Barrymore explains why she’s A-OK with going years without sex, and then: the nanny has spoken. Oh, god, has the nanny spoken. Which means the extremely messy split between Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis, somehow, just got messier. This week, Mich recommended ‘The heaviest pain in the world - Rob Delaney on his son’s death’ in The Times UK. Zara recommended listening to ‘We Started As An Affair’ on Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel. Got some thoughts on today’s episode you wanna share? Join in the convo over on our Insta @shamelesspodcast. Big thanks to Maybelline New York and their new Instant Perfector 4-in-1 Glow for making this episode possible.
