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.

Did Yoko Ono really break up The Beatles? Part one

Editors note: an earlier version of this audio mentioned George Harrison’s name incorrectly on one occasion. This has now been fixed. Hiya, lovelies! Today, we’re heading back to 1940. She’s the woman you’ve likely heard disparaging remarks about since you were a little kid. So, who was Yoko Ono? And what exactly was her influence over the most successful band in music history?
