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! If you haven't already, we'd love if you could on your podcast player app <3 and follow us on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod

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,

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? Listen to find out!

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.

See you Friday for our main episode!

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.

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.

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. We would love it if you left a review and rating on your podcast player app, it helps others to find the podcast and us to keep making it :)

Remember we will be back on Friday for the main episode - so we will see you then, enjoy! xxx

Everything is Friday! And Friday is for content. 

In this week’s big and beautiful main episode we kick off discussions with the Netflix game show Inside. Is watching already-rich people cosplay frugality for money really where we're at?

Next up: why so many stories about the same couple, Daily Mail? We ask- when does celeb gossip cross the line into cruel harassment? Is there even a line at all?

And lastly, what’s all this about Hailey Bieber stalking her husband? An 18-minute “documentary” tried to expose her and we have THOUGHTS.

Thanks so much for listening! While we have you, a rating and a review would be amazing for us so we can keep making EIC!

The most blessed day of the week is here – EIC drop day.

Bury your face in some classic online discourse with this week's furore around a few grainy pics of Margot Robbie on-set for Wuthering Heights.

Perhaps less silly – the misogyny slop network funnelling you into alt-right content...

Finally, we might be spending hours online a day, but are any of us Very Online anymore?

It's Wednesday- let's talk. This week we chatted with you about the now infamous and highly-memed morning routine of American fitness influencer Ashton Hall, which included multiple ice dunkings, healthy food prepared by female staff, some mid-air hovering and a lot of alone time. With over 2.93 million subscribers on YouTube and 4.7 million followers on TikTok (at time of recording), he’s in the ears and eyes and minds of many modern men. What we want to know- and try to figure out- is if this is a new and healthier frontier of manliness or something more insidious How has something that would have been relentlessly mocked a decade ago now the epitome of high value and peak performance? 

As always we loved being in conversation with you! If you want to take part in future episodes, see behind the scenes clips or just have a chat with us in our DMs or comments, follow us on IG and TikTok @everythingincontentpod.

See you Friday!
