IN CONVERSATION: Brooke Jowett

Hiya, friends! Today, Mich and Caroline (and producer Annabelle!) turn their attention to something you’ve all been *demanding* from us: a deep dive into Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss, and what the hell happened to their friendship. You guys know that commentary around Taylor and Karlie has run rampant for years, so while we won’t get too deeply in the weeds of every single internet hole, consider this episode a wide-ranging pop culture exploration… what is the commentary about Taylor and Karlie? What are the three main theories, and why can’t people stop talking about them? And what does their friendship maybe say… about… us? Head here to check out Caroline’s Australia tour dates, and here to pick up a copy of her latest book, ‘The Rachel Incident’. This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee and Chelsea Srinivasan.

G’day, mates! On today’s show: Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’s marriage is over and the world (well, mostly our mothers) is mourning, Russell Brand says the mainstream media is out to get him after he is accused of multiple sexual assaults, and who and what is a Tube Girl? Plus, no - Paul Mescal is not Daisy Edgar Jones’s new boyfriend, Drew Barrymore faces backlash for returning to work and are the men OK? Why do they think about The Roman Empire so much?  This week, Zara recommended ‘The Pandemic Skip’ by Katy Schneider in The Cut. Mich recommended ‘The Ozempic Era of Weight Loss’ on The Daily. This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee. Big thanks to Dan Murphy’s Decoded Wine Awards 2023 for making this episode possible.

Why hello, everyone! Today, we are joined by one of the UK’s most prominent authors, Dolly Alderton. Some of you might be thinking, but wait! You guys have already interviewed Dolly! And you’d be right. Back in 2020, in the depths of lockdown, we spoke to Dolly over Zoom about her life and career. But, given how much we adore her, and given how she was so highly requested by you guys, we thought: why not make her the first person to ever return to Shameless In Conversation? But this is an In Conversation episode with a twist: Of course, Mich asked Dolly about what life has been like in the three years since we last spoke, but given she’s the ultimate Agony Aunt (or sister), we also wanted to pick her brain on your big life dilemmas. We did a callout and asked you what you needed Dolly’s advice on, so today, we opened the Shameless Mailbag and put Dolly’s marvelous mind to work. To pre-order Dolly’s new book, Good Material, head here. This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee. Big thanks to Webjet for making this episode possible.

Hello! Welcome to the first episode of our very special In Conversation series. Today on the show, we are joined by one of the most recognisable business and media personalities in Britain, Steven Bartlett. In 2014, he co-founded a social media marketing agency called Social Chain, which cemented the then-22-year-old as one of the leaders in the social media marketing world. Three years later, he created his podcast, The Diary of a CEO, which is one of the biggest podcasts in the UK right now. Two years ago, he was announced as the youngest-ever investor of BBC’s Dragon’s Den. All were achieved by the age of 31. In this chat, Steven talks about everything: from being expelled from school and dropping out of uni, his relationship with religion, the reason he never thought he’d end up in such a healthy romantic relationship, what it’s like coming into money, and why he never sets an alarm. This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee. Big thanks to Elite Eleven for making this episode possible.
