David Hockney, Midas Fury & Are There Really Aliens?

Hello EICelestial beings! This week on the podcast - the world’s first trillionaire, unique celebrity baby names and Ruchira's terrifying folklore tidbit. Plus EIC headquarters went to a party, and some members might still be drunk (and it may just be that young lady's 33rd birthday the day this episode is released, everyone go and wish Beth(any) McColl a happy 33rd).

Firstly, it's been a big week! From North West's recent festival performance, to the Knick's winning the NBA and Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire. We take you through the standout headlines from the world of pop culture and beyond!

Next up, Tommy Fury and Molly Mae finally announced the name of their newborn son this weekend. The baby boy, who was born earlier this month is called… Midas. The couple revealed the name via Tommy’s boxing shorts, which he wore to a match on Saturday. We get into the names of it all!

We hope you enjoy listening, please do leave a rating, review, or Spotify comment and we will forever be grateful. O,R,B.
