| Danai Gurira - star of The Walking Dead: Everything In Conversation | 11 Jun 2024 | 00:17:35 | |
Today, Oenone is in conversation with actress, playwright and activist Danai Gurira. Danai plays the beloved character Michonne in one of our favourite shows - The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is back with a new spinoff series - The Ones Who Live - which sees Michonne reunite with her husband Rick after they were separated in a post-zombie-apocalyptic world. We find out what it’s like to portray a love story in such a high stakes world, why Danai thinks The Walking Dead captured audiences from its very first pilot, and her experiences as an executive producer, lead and writer on the series. All episodes of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live are available exclusively on Sky and Now. You can binge all 11 series of The Walking Dead there as well!

Oenone’s back on good old fashioned British soil so we’re all back in the studio together again, and boy does it feel good! Join the girlies for the biggest debate we have probably ever had on the podcast… is the term ‘hot rodent’ a compliment or is it derogatory?

We also get into bookworm mode to discuss one of the most hotly anticipated books of the summer - Coco Mellors’ second book Blue Sisters.

Today we’ll be taking a deep dive into the fountain of youth for our second beauty special - and this time we’re talking about ageing. Has looking become replaced being skinny as the toxic beauty standard of today? Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone as we discuss some of the gorgeous women who have chosen to age visibly in the public eye, how anti-ageing pressure can impact men as well as women and how the pressure to look young has trickled down to primary school age children.

With August almost over, what better time to recap our respective hot girl- or not girl- summers?

Bonjour - we’ve gone international! Oenone has moved to Paris for the spring (oooh la la!) so we’re coming to you from both sides of the channel today. We’ve got something a (tiny) bit different for you in this episode - the internet was set on fire last week by The Cut who published a personal essay about an age gap relationship, so we've decided to go DEEP diving into both the article itself, and our general perception of age gaps in relationships. We also celebrate on behalf of our US listeners - who have had Sex and The City drop in full on their Netflix this week. What are some of the most iconic moments and does the show have a Gen Z equivalent?

| Is it time to abolish oversharing? | 15 Mar 2024 | 00:46:35 | |
Beth and Oenone sail the Everything Is Content ship as a duo today because Ruchira is having the time of her life on holiday. Not jealous at all… but who needs a holiday when you have content… right?! We talk about the topic that has seeped into every corner of the internet this week - the royal photoshop fiasco, as well as child influencers speaking out and the Oscars! During our discussion of child influencers we mention eating disorders, child abuse and sexual predators.

| Parasocial relationships, Emily in Paris and moving in with mum and dad | 22 Aug 2024 | 01:21:38 | |
What are THOSE!? Oenone shares some troubling news about the return of heeled trainers... Once we spiritually recovered, we dived into Chappell Roan's frustration at "creepy" fans, to investigate what exactly do celebs owe us. Should we feel offended, or commend her for setting a boundary? We also speak about our favourite 30-something marketing hot-mess, Emily, who is still in Paris. Why do people hate her? And finally Beth wrote an opinion piece about moving out of London and in with her parents, and it pushed A LOT of people's buttons online. We debrief on why the conversation around living in London and renting is so charged.

| Who tf DID she marry?! | 23 Feb 2024 | 00:44:29 | |
We’ve stepped out of our ‘This Is Me… Now’ daze to bring you this week’s podcast - which also includes news of the rom-com renaissance, the cliff notes on the 52-part TikTok storytime and a deep-dive into the morality of the personal essay genre. In this episode we discuss a story that's centred around living with poor mental health. If you, or someone you love needs advice or guidance in this area, the NHS is a great place to start. The Samaritans also provide a free listening service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year if you ever need to talk about something that's upsetting you. UK listeners can call 116 123 to access this service. Wherever you're listening, you should always reach out to your doctor or a certified medical professional if you've been affected by anything you've heard and you feel you need more support and guidance. — NEW YORK TIMES: The ‘Daddy’ Will See You Now REESA TEESA: Who TF Did I Marry?

Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone for this loved-up edition of Everything Is Content! So… what happened this week, lovebirds? A terrifying turtle was fished out of a pond in Cumbria, Ice Spice learned the rules of American football and we all got to enjoy Zac Efron’s Lord Farquad-esque hairdo in The Iron Claw. And look, we are going to talk about the Super Bowl - but we’re going to steer clear of Taylor Swift discourse for this week. Every time we mention her we’ll be putting £1 in our private jet fund... promise. And a gentle reminder for you to get your copy of Eliza Clark’s Penance.

| Far-right riots, Dallas cheerleaders and the return of smut | 08 Aug 2024 | 00:51:00 | |
This week on Everything Is Content, we thought it was about time to discuss the Netflix docu-series that everyone has been raving about for the last few weeks - America’s Sweethearts. Does the life of a cheerleader appeal to us - and does the documentary have a dark side? We also take a look at the return of smutty literature - why do we sometimes look down on the genre, and is it about time we read some? We also check in about how we’re feeling following the week of unrest in the UK. What role has social media played - and how can we look forward to positive solutions?

| Ballerina Farm, Mamma Mia overcrowding & banned boyfriends | 02 Aug 2024 | 00:49:25 | |
Happy Olympics everyone! Despite knowing basically nothing about *actual* sport, we dive into some of our fave moments from the games so far. We also delve head first into the article that EVERYONE has been talking about this week - The Times piece about the influencer Ballerina Farm. Has this rightfully reignited the tradwife debate - or should we just leave her alone to raise her kids and milk her cows? We also want to know if you were at the open air screening of Mamma Mia that got cancelled in London last week - is recommendation culture ruining our experiences or is it just an effect of the economic crisis?

| Septum arms, AI journalists and Kamala Harris’ brat summer | 26 Jul 2024 | 00:40:29 | |
Wake up babe, new nonsense body insecurity just dropped! This week on Everything Is Content, we’re discussing the term ‘septum arms’ which was generated by the TikTok algorithm... what does this tell us about the speed of the trend cycle, and should we be concerned about the gen pop’s level of internet literacy? And, of course - we’re discussing the Kamala Harris x brat meme cycle… should we be pleased that politicians are trying to engage younger voters or is this distracting us from talking about actual policies? We also talk about Reem - Sheerluxe’s new ‘AI-enhanced’ team member… we have THOUGHTS. A lot of them. Give us a lil follow on Instagram or drop us a message if you have something you need to hear us chat about, or if you have opinions on anything you’ve heard us talk about today.

| Olivia Petter - author of Gold Rush and Millennial Love: Everything In Conversation | 19 Jul 2024 | 00:25:53 | |
Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone in conversation with the brilliant journalist, podcaster and author Olivia Petter. Olivia’s debut novel Gold Rush is out now - it’s a story about consent, celebrity culture and trying to work out where women fit in a world that constantly devalues and disrespects their bodies... sounds right up our street, eh?! We all loved the book and in this conversation we get stuck into our burning questions for Olivia - but don’t worry, the conversation is spoiler-free if you haven’t finished the book yet. As a note of caution, this conversation does contain references to sexual violence and violence against women. We have had some illness in the team this week, so thank you for bearing with us. We think you're going to love this chat - and we’ll be back with the usual this time next week!

| Will&Harper, chaos-queen Jemima Kirke and cutting parents off | 19 Sep 2024 | 00:54:56 | |
Gorgeous babe Beth is ill this week, so Oenone and Ruchira steer the content ship into port. The pair dive into Netflix's new documentary starring funny-man Will Ferrell and his long-time bestie and collaborator, Harper Steele. The documentary makes for a tearful, moving examination of friendship, allyship, and what it means to be a trans woman in the US. Grab your tissues before watching! Next-up, Vogue dropped a new series starting with a day-in-the-life as actress, artist and it girl Jemima Kirke. At one point she writes that she's bought a kitten and is yet to deliver it to a friend. Why do we love knowing the unusual details of a celeb's life? And finally, a New Yorker piece takes a 360-view of a rising trend of people going 'no-contact' with their parents. Ruchira and Oenone discuss whether we can learn anything about how to navigate difficult family relationships from the piece, and if our views on family estrangement have changed after reading it.

| Rivals, Respecting Liam Payne and Age Gaps 2.0 | 25 Oct 2024 | 01:13:11 | |
This week on the Podcast, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone discuss the devastating news that broke last week, that One Direction singer Liam Payne had died unexpectedly and tragically at the age of 31 in Argentina. We think most people have felt this is quite seismic, and wanted to look at how the coverage of this has seemed and felt so far, both in the papers and on social media. Is it time for there to be a reckoning with how we deal with celebrity death? You can skip to roughly 37 minutes if you want to skip this section. As a pop culture podcast we also had to cover this week's lighter stories, including the show of the moment we're all tuning in for, the BONKBUSTER that is Rivals. If you’re looking for a rollicking good romp in Rutshire, then look no further, Jilly Cooper’s 1988 novel has been adapted into a TV series, now streaming on Disney plus. And lastly, Daniel Felsenthal wrote a piece for The Guardian titled ‘I’m 33 and my husband is 77 - this is why I only sleep with older men”, is the age-gap discourse ever going to be put to bed? Penguin - Love in Exile by Shon Faye Dazed - Liam Payne and our grim cultural obsession with celebrity deaths New Statesman - Liam Payne was a victim of the pop pin-up machine NBC - 1D fans condemn online harassment of Maya Henry The Guardian - I'm 33 and my husband is 77 Hosted on Acast.

| Disastrous Dentistry, Kaotic Cancellations and Living In A Post-Lingerie World | 18 Oct 2024 | 01:07:20 | |
This week on pod, The Three Musketeers are back together. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone soldier through the battlefield of streaming services, why is it that Netflix loves to cancel shows in their infancy? We want to fight them! Kaos might not have reached number one on Netflix's charts, but it certainly has become beloved to everyone who has plunged their eyeballs into the reimagined Greek Mythology. The action centres around various prophecies, relationships and quests as Zeus tries to prevent the fall of his powerful family. It’s inventive, it’s sexy, it’s dramatic, it’s different. And now it’s done. Next up - how far are you willing to go for a good smile? A piece in the Guardian this week dives into the world of veneers, specifically why cosmetic dentistry is such a booming industry and what happens when the pursuit for perfect teeth goes horrifically wrong. It’s clear there’s a booming popularity in getting picture-perfect teeth, but would you go for veneers? Does it appeal to you? Lastly, after a 6 year hiatus, The iconic display of Angels is back -The Victoria’s Secret’s catwalk show took place for the first time since 2018 - we ask, Is there a place for the Victoria’s Secret Show in 2024?

| The Substance, presidents on podcasts & posting your partner online | 11 Oct 2024 | 00:51:08 | |
This week on the pod, Ruchira and Beth are taking The Substance! Taking it for a spin around the content playground, that is. We discuss whether Mubi’s latest film release is a feminist masterpiece, or just a mess of blood, guts and big fake boobs. Did we love it, hate it or rush out of the cinema retching before it was over? Listen to find out! Next up is the Kamala Harris x Call Her Daddy interview which saw the Vice President get stuck into women's issues with Gen Z podcasting powerhouse Alex Cooper. Genius masterstroke by a savvy Gen Z campaign team or potential PR disaster for everyone involved? Finally, we debate the age old internet question: should you be posting your partner on your social media or has Lana Del Rey done it right by keeping her relationship under wraps until she was halfway down the aisle? If you have anything you want to add to this week’s episode then we insist that you tell us immediately on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod. See you over there! - DAZED DIGITAL - Lana Del Rey and the case for keeping your relationship private PAPER - Notes on Lana Del Rey's 'Trashy Diva' Wedding Dress Hosted on Acast.

| Intermezzo, thin characters & publishing unpacked | 04 Oct 2024 | 01:01:27 | |
It's Sally Rooney week here at Everything is Content! Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dive into their pop culture recommendations from the week, before plunging into the biggest literary event of the year: Sally Rooney's new novel Intermezzo. So, how good is it? The girls answer that core question, and dissect just how compelling her male characters are. The chat is fairly spoiler free, but do skip onto the next segment around the 30 minute mark if you want to be extra cautious. Next-up, discourse around Rooney and her mostly thin characters was firing up the timeline even before Intermezzo dropped. Just how justified are these arguments against the alleged "great millennial writer" of our time? Finally, what can we learn from Rooney's astonishing success when it comes to publishing at large? Do other diverse writers get the same chances for global stardom? Want to keep the conversation going? You can message us on our socials.
