Welcome back EICuties! This week on the podcast, we have to make an apology to an unlikely couple before we get into the long and short of the latest internet discourse- height filters on dating apps, after Tinder announced that they were joining other apps in allowing users to filter potential matches by how tall they are. Are the short men correct that this is blatant discrimination or is it just a harmless preference? Next up we're discussing a social media wedding event after influencer Jaz Smith revealed the spreadsheet and planning that allowed her to post in real time through her recent nuptials. How many TikToks is too many TikToks for the happiest day of your life? 10? 20? 100? We discuss what it means to live a life so heavily online and if anything is really sacred anymore.

Hallelujah! You've made it halfway to the weekend. To celebrate: a brand spanking new episode of Everything In Conversation. Corrrrr, aren't you lucky?This week's midweek investigation is all about Justin Bieber's controversial Instagram caption, in which he revealed an argument where he told wife Hailey that she'd never be on the cover of Vogue. The post, which was to celebrate Hailey Bieber being on the cover of Vogue, divided audiences. Some say he's showing growth and accountability, other's have labelled him narcissistic & cruel. With the help of the listeners we go on a conversational jaunt that takes into the heart of bad husbands, via the politics of posting about rough patches and into the land of our own worst examples of male invalidation. We hope you enjoy this episode. If you've read this far- I bet you were a pleasure to teach and always handed in your homework. So here's some more: we really rely on good reviews and ratings to help us grow and keep making the podcast, so we'd love if you could leave us a kind word and a cheeky five stars. Thank you so much. See you on Friday!R, B, O x-----GLAMOUR - "Why Justin Bieber's Vogue Comment Struck a Nerve" Bad Influence by Oenone ForbatRomanticise Your Life by Beth McColl Hosted on Acast.

Come hither into our watery lair... we three witchy mermaids want to drag you into our content cave... hehe. Happy Friday.This week on the podcast, at 12:51, we travel to the fictional island of Port Haven, where Julianne Moore swans around in floaty Grecian gowns, rehabilitates birds of prey, and presides over her billionaire husband's palatial home. Meghann Fahy plays Devon, who starts the series coming out of jail and caring for her dad who has dementia. She reaches out in desperation to her younger sister Simone, played by Milly Alcock, and gets no reply. But she does get a fruit basket. She furiously travels down to confront Simone and unexpectedly breaks into her new world, where her younger sister is the personal assistant, really the emotional support assistant to Michaela, the aforementioned ultra-rich wife. Is this just another attempt to ride the coattails of White Lotus' success? Or something different?Next up, at 34.52 we turn to one of the most unexpected rumoured romances of… potentially the century? That's right, it's Jojo Siwa + Chris Hughes. The Dance Moms & Love Island alumni have been setting tongues wagging since they appeared together on celebrity big brother. The duo are maybe the perfect product from the surveillance reality show... these two would likely have never met without it. Is it a showmance? is it a friendship? is it an us problem that we even care at all?Ruchira's been loving The Real Housewives of AtlantaBeth's been loving The First Bad Man, Miranda JulyOenone's been loving The Four Seasons, A Deadly American Marriage, The Last Of UsSirensLucy Mangan's Siren reviewKath Ebbs PodcastWhat’s Going On With JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes? - VultureWe hope you enjoy - please do rate, review & follow the podcast!

Get your cameras out, it's a moment for the pop culture history books. This week, we have an Everything In Conversation *with* the Queen of pop culture deep-dives: Caroline O'Donoghue.We tackled everything with the best-selling author, podcaster, and journalist, from how we consider art from artists who commit atrocious acts, to why we can't accept satire from women. There are some absolute gems including some very special analysis into why Gordon Ramsey's TV work is a feminist piece of culture worth academic investigation, and possibly one of the best listener questions we have ever received for a guest....Ramsey's Kitchen NightmaresThe Rachel Incident SkipshockSentimental Garbage Live Hosted on Acast.

Happy Hump day to you and your lovely lady lumps - and lovely lady lumps we shall be discussing! *** Trigger warning, there is discussion of eating disorders, diet culture, exercise addiction and more ***First there was ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’, then there was ‘beach body ready’, and then there was a brief respite when we were all told that 'every body was a bikini body'. But now, in 2025, it seems that all of those narratives exist at the same time, creating a sort of cognitive dissonance that has us all saying one thing, and feeling another.The current tiktok trend is bikini tax, the price to pay for getting into a cozzy, apparently, is making yourself smaller…So have we really made any progress when it comes to what makes a bikini body? Is it worse than ever before?We hope you enjoy, please do rate, review and follow the show, it helps others' to find us, and us to keep making it :) B,R,O xxHow To Have A Body In Summer - Ismene Ormonde Hosted on Acast.

Virgins, Vampires & A Very Demure, Very Mindful dress-code... what more could you want? Happy Everything Is Content day!First up this week, we're discussing a new reality TV show that premiered on Channel 4... and Love Island it ain’t. Virgin Island follows 12 adults between the ages of 22 and 30 who have yet to have sex, as they embark on a journey of sexual self discovery on a retreat off the coast of Croatia. There are sex therapists, sex surrogates, group activities, bonding exercises, massages, solo sessions and more. Is it exploitative? Is it heartwarming? Is it too much for our prudish British sensibilities? Listen to find out!Next up, in a very non-French move, there's an anti-nipple vendetta at one of the most glamorous events of the year. One day before the 78th film festival began, Cannes updated the official website to say that ‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the Red Carpet, as well as in any other area of the Festival.' Is this more conversative-creep? Or is just a reactionary decision based on the Bianca Censori Grammy's stunt?And last but by no means least, Sinners. It’s been described as a Southern vampire fantasia and another incredible addition to Black horror. Michael B Jordan plays gangster twins, the “Smokestack twins’ specifically, who reconnect with their younger Blues loving cousin, Sammie, who helps them open up a juke joint. But they’re soon confronted with the absolutely menacing Jack O Connell, who plays head vampire Remmick. Soon things spiral out of control and it becomes a war between the last remaining few and the growing swarm of vampires. And they’ve just got survive the last few hours of nightfall. We give our thoughts!Beth's loving: The Wedding People by Alison EspachRuchira's loving: Universality by Natasha BrownOenone's loving: A Court Of Mist and Fury by Sarah J.

For this mid-week helping of discourse we're asking... are you sick of hearing about your friends' boyfriends? Inspired by this piece by Asli, our conversation begins with boy madness and judgement towards single people, takes a detour towards the healing powers of female gossip before ending up somewhere in the region of Sally Rooney quotes and good old fashioned advice. Thank you all so much for your takes on this- as always they were the perfect blend of sharp-tongued, funny, insightful, thought-provoking and candid. If you want to get involved in next week's ep just follow us on IG @everythingiscontentpod. Also while you're here... ratings are so helpful for homegrown podcasts like ours, and we'd be eternally grateful if you could leave us a good'un. (Five stars if you're asking).See you on Friday for more pop culture analysis, recommendations and hot off the press discourse. Byeeee!O, R, B x Hosted on Acast.

Grab your poison of choice, as it's time for part 2 of our AI double-bill!Last week we looked at AI infiltrating the arts, but this week we look towards society. From friendships, to relationships to our interior worlds, just how much are we already trusting AI to form connections with others? And how did this become so commonplace?Thank you to everyone who listened and messaged about AI part 1. It was so reassuring to know some of what we said resonated or sparked something.

Just call us the American voting public in 2000 because this week we're asking "Bush or no Bush?" With your help we're diving into the discourse vis-à-vis shaving your pubes & asking all of the most important questions: why is 2025 being heralded as the year of the bush, are female pube-plants really on the rise, could pubes be a recession indicator, is hair down there ever unhygienic and just how exhausted are we of our bodily features being sucked into yet another trend cycle? Thank you all SO much for your opinions on this topic- they were as candid, insightful, thought-provoking and hilarious as EVER. Le bush c'est chic!If you enjoy the ep we'd loooove a share on your socials (tag us @everythingiscontentpod), a mention in the group chat or a rating and review wherever you're reading this.

It's a beautiful day to be a human, bathing in the glorious sunshine of this week's heatwave. However, it's also a pretty good time to be Artificial Intelligence... or a bot.This week on the podcast we’re kicking off a two part AI deep dive. Firstly, in this episode, we will talking about the recent author protests outside of Meta’s London offices, asking whether AI can really make art, and looking at how AI is creeping into our everyday lives.It recently emerged that Meta, the tech conglomerate formerly known as Facebook Inc, which owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads has scraped millions of books from the pirate data library Library Genesis- more commonly known as LibGen- to use to train its flagship AI model Llama 3.Last month, icon, illustrator and Studio Ghibli co-founder, Hayao Miyazaki, was being copied and mimicked thanks to thanks to OpenAI’s latest version of its ChatGPT tool.. His water-colour, hand drawn illustrations truly are so loved across the world and bring so much beauty to those films. As creatives we perhaps have a particularly purist approach to the incorporation of AI into our work, not only from a moral and ethical standpoint, where so many people may soon be out of work, but also from a creative protectionist point of view, where the time and practise and skills needed to create valuable and adored art should be celebrated rather than replicated by machines; but what about in other industries? In education? In schools?Join us next week for part 2 where we will be diving into how the tech’s increasingly seeping into our relationships and internal worlds.O,R.B xx‘Meta has stolen books’: authors to protest in London against AI trained using ‘shadow library’The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem Why I – and other bestselling authors – are protesting outside Meta todayBen Affleck explains why it's 'highly unlikely' AI will destroy film, claims it may even enhance the industryHayao Miyazaki’s ‘disgusted’ thoughts on AI resurface following Studio Ghibli trendChristie's AI art auction outpaces expectations, bringing in more than $728,000Does A.I.

You spoke; we listened. Dining alone is more delicious than a Gü pudding, according to you.This week's Everything in Conversation is a dive into journalist, author and podcaster, Emma Gannon's gorgeous piece for The Guardian on the joy and stigma of dining alone. We also had the absolute pleasure to speak to the writer herself about this, her new novel A Table For One, and how she's built up her career.Thank you so much for your incredible takes on this as always. Could you consider gifting a friend this episode if you enjoyed it? It would mean the world to us and help us continue to keep making this podcast.

The sun is shining (emotionally and hopefully literally wherever you are), as it's time for another EIC episode!On Wednesday 16th of April The Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. The ruling sparked a wave of horrendous transphobic discourse. We are appalled and wanted to unpick how this happened, and JK Rowling's role in this abhorrent outcome.Next, The New York Times published a piece on 'money dysmorphia'. Is it another BS term, or a real phenomenon for the over-spending, and money hoarding camps many of us fall into regardless of our finances?Finally, George Clooney has flexed that he and his illustrious wife Amal *never* fight. We dive into the debate around what a healthy relationship and conflict looks like.Thank you so much for listening and for everyone who's reviewed us. We read every single IG message and review!

It's conversation day!This week, we’re discussing All Fours by Miranda July, so just to flag, this episode will contain spoilers, so if you’re planning on reading the book and don’t want to know what happens, maybe bank this episode for a future listen.Despite a great critical reception, the novel has certainly been divisive among readers, and most definitely in our DMs.The novel follows a 45-year-old perimenopausal woman who, after having an extramarital affair during a road trip, has a sexual awakening. It covers themes that we often love to discuss on the podcast, such as relationships, motherhood, aging, mortality, desire, intimacy, identity and ultimately, the meaning of life.We hope you enjoy this special book club episode - please do slide into our dms with any other books you'd love us to feature + talk about.We'll see you on Friday for the main ep,O, R, B xWe will see you Friday :) Hosted on Acast.

Happy Friday, happy Good Friday, happy Easter & happy Everything Is Content Day!This week on the podcast we’re talking about Black Mirror season 7, The celestial sisters who went to space, & ask whether or not you can be too hot to work.Charlie Brooker’s dystopian tech anthology Black Mirror is back for its seven series, and lots of the reviews have been really positive saying it’s one of the most human series yet, and a return to its best form i.e. its first season. This one is star-studded, with Chris O’Dowd, Tracey Ellis Ross, Issa ray, Emma Corrin, Rashida Jones and Paul Giamatti to truly only name a few.Next up, in what sounds like an episode of Black Mirror but isn't... Katy Perry went to space… for eleven minutes. She was joined by Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sánchez and CBS presenter Gayle King, who was reported to have said a highlight of the flight was hearing Perry sing Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World'. We discuss.And finally, we are talking about t-shirts. Okay, not quite. We’re talking about a debate which was sparked on X, in part, by pictures of two t-shirts. Here’s what happened- on April 8th the writer Ashley Reese tweeted this as part of a wider conversation about women and work. She wrote: “1) women have always worked 2) it's incredible that women are able to be financially independent in ways that were not as common just a few generations ago and I'm not charmed by jokes—especially from other women—about how gainful employment is the worst thing to happen to women.”Is it that deep? Or is it just some silly t-shirts?

Happy hump day! Grab a brew, connect your headphones, and get ready to chat.This week we're heading (conversationally) to California to discuss weekend one of Coachella! We share all of our thoughts- and yours!- about whether America's biggest festival is still a vibe (if it ever was), how it stacks up against Glasto, whether the outfits were outfitting, what acts looked unmissable and what we think is wrong with the luxury festival market. Thank you so much to everyone who sent in their takes, we looooove being in conversation with you. We would also looooove if you'd leave us a glowing review and 5 star rating on this podcast player (and any others that spring to mind) and this helps others to find the podcast so that we can keep making it.

Welcome to a brand new EIC! Seth Rogen and his long-time collaborator Evan Goldberg have taken aim at the film industry – and no one is safe. A star-studded cameo line-up is the least interesting thing about The Studio, which is a testament to the brilliant writing of this hilarious satire. (TW; we mention sexual abuse from 23 mins in.) Russell Brand has been charged with rape, indecent assault, and sexual assault. We explore the historic public image evolution he's undergone, and his rebrand to a conspiracist. Finally, we're being forced to check-out of the White Lotus and it doesn't feel good! Here's what we thought of Mike White's ambitious meditation on desire, demons and drama.In collaboration with Cue Podcasts.Ruchira has been loving Lucky Boy.Beth has been loving The Righteous Gemstones and Dying For Sex.Oenone has been loving Costa's pistachio cookie.The Studio review – Seth Rogen’s Hollywood satire is fast, furious and beautifully fun'White Lotus' and the pain of desireThe off-the-grid adventures of Walton Goggins Hosted on Acast.

It's Wednesday, which can only mean one thing... we've got to have a chat!There always used to be a sort of joke about how when we're asleep it is the only time we're not conforming to patriarchal beauty standards, when we’re free from being advertised to and commodified, only now the billion-dollar beauty and wellness industry has managed to infiltrate that, too.Women of the internet are sharing their 'morning shed' where they remove various layers of skin-care products and anti-ageing aids. We discuss what we make of this new trend, and hear from you at home, too!Thank you so much to everyone who sent in their thoughts, we love being in conversation with you.
