Inspired by a short documentary presented by WePresent this week, we delve into the enduring appeal of The Olsen Twins. Their way of working is the antidote to our modern work-obsessed culture but is it actually attainable for the average mortal?

This week we chat about the twins, our own relationships to privacy and social oversharing and ask what can we learn from the truly elusive pair.

Welcome back to Before Brunch. 

This week we look at the Irish podcasting landscape, the podcasts that we love and the podcasts that have given us a collective viral moment. We talk about what works so well with the GAA catfish story and how The Two Johnnies captivated the country with brilliant storytelling and original edge-of-seat content. 

We talk a little about media pluralism and how the Irish media needed a shake up for so long. 

In a rare feat of mono culture, Love Island persists as the show that unites us all and sparks water cooler conversations across the world. But with its blatant lack of diversity, stagnated format, predictable twists and gender stereotypes it should be a total flop of a show. This week Megan and Cassie wonder what makes Love Island so popular, why it is such compulsive viewing and question the shows relationship with new sponsors.

This week on Before Brunch we’re chatting about the ever-evolving music industry and how it’s current iteration gives space to the acts of yesteryear. We naturally segue into a conversation about Kravis, Blink 182 and the resurgence of the rock bands we simply pretended to adore.

In April, Netflix announced a loss of subscribers for the first time in more than a decade, with a net loss of 200,000 global members in the first quarter of 2022. The announcement prompted a stock freefall, with stock tumbling 43% and more than $50 billion in value wiped out. This week the streamer laid off 150 employees as they prepare to lose another 2 million subscribers before the end of Q2.

On Before Brunch we question why Netflix is struggling, talk the pressure of being the Hollywood disruptor and what the future of streaming looks like.
