  • Ep 11. Kate Middleton's Royal Baby Birth And The Celebration Of "Virtuous Mother"
    On this week's episode of Before Brunch, Megan and Cassie chat about hairdresser etiquette. Do you let them put your coat on for you? Do you buy the recommended shampoo? And most importantly - what the HELL have we all decided we're all doing when it comes to tips?
    In an era of "oversharing" where our every mundane thought is amplified on social media, what happens when a person's mental health issues are broadcasted publicly on Twitter or Facebook? We chat about the intricacies of Kanye West's latest Twitter spree and how it affects conversations about mental health.
    Finally - Kate Middleton's perfect pregnancies and how they reinforce the idea of "virtuous mother" - innocent tradition? Or a symbol that is more sinister than it seems?

  • Ep 10. Is There Ever Such Thing As a Kardashian Koincidence?!
    This week TMZ released footage of Khloe Kardashian's boyfriend Tristan Thompson cheating with two women, just as Khloe was going into labour with his child. We talk about timing in a Kardashian storyline, and how much of what we see is curated to keep us talking. Is there ever such thing as a Kardashian Koincidence? We look back at the Gawker/Hulk Hogan case in a chat about media ethics and the "leak" culture that the Kardashians were born from and thrive in.
    It's week two of our book club. We're reading The Lesser Bohemians by Eimear McBride - an intense, challenging read. We offer our best tips if you're struggling to stay engaged with the book and we want to know - should the deadline to finish be two or three weeks? Let us know.

  • Ep 9. Bring Back Vengeful Celebrity Breakups... And Wild Wild Country
    After another "joyous" and "loving" celebrity "uncoupling" this week, we reminisce on the joys and machinations of a truly vengeful breakup. We dissect Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum's breakup statement and ponder on the real meaning of a "loving" split. Does it exist? Does uncoupling eliminate blame? Is it important when there are children in the relationship? Or is it just unrealistic?
    Next on the agenda is the insanely popular Netflix documentary 'Wild Wild Country'. Themes of immigration, a fear of the other and religion are presented perfectly in this true story of a sex cult and the woman at the centre of it.
    Before Brunch Book Club launches this week. First on the list is Eimear McBride's 'The Lesser Bohemians'. It's one of two Irish books shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Prize. We will review it in episode 11, so get reading!

  • Ep 8. A Conversation About Consent Following The Belfast Trial
    If there's anything positive to come from the Belfast Trial, it's that conversations about consent are back at the forefront of our minds. We don't have the answers. It's an incredibly loaded and complex issue, particularly in a country that has a strained relationship with women and sex. We unpack the issues we're personally struggling with following this week's verdict.
