  • Kylie and an IRL Succession 'Murder'...
    May 28 2026

    Is doing your nails on a train ever OK? This week we cover this philosophical topic and more.


    We discuss the ongoing case of the mysterious death of the founder of Mango (fashion, not fruit), review Netflix’s revealing Kylie Minogue documentary, and the story of CMAT’s biggest hit.

  • The worst festival ever, Virgin Island and in defence of Molly Mae
    May 21 2026

    We’d love to speak to the booker for the Tommy Robinson march and why they thought any of the audience cared about a live cello performance.


    This week, Charlie and Abi get you up to date on the rise of the silent right wing and why you need to keep having woke conversations with your parents.


    Plus, we discuss the wedding of Venezuela Fury and a defence of the very pregnant Molly Mae.


    And there’s a new gender bending satire heading to Netflix - are we thinking a bout it too deeply? The answer is, of course, yes.

  • Sardine Girl Summer
    May 14 2026

    It’s officially hen do season, girls. How are we all faring?


    Harper Beckham is releasing a skincare brand, but the question is not whether 14-year-olds should have skincare, but whether there should be a 14-year-old CEO?


    The trailer for the Legally Blonde prequel has dropped, and honestly, we are sad and disappointed.


    Plus, the wholesome and morally questionable ‘Virgin Island’, the tradwife influencer novel, which has everyone talking, and we lament the financial impact of everyone getting married in the space of 5 years.
