Whether you love it or hate it, the near 60-year run of Doctor Who has cemented it as one of the most famous sci-fi shows in history.

As Grape Culture celebrates its second birthday, and Sam celebrates her 31st, the gang talk about the differences between their twenties and their thirties. Why are millennials so tired all the time? Do external pressures change with age? And why are hangovers so much worse?

With the help of some autumnally spooky red wines (and some fake gin), the Grape Culture team delve into the darkly humorous world of Tamsyn Muir's 'Gideon the Ninth', the first in her Locked Tomb trilogy.

If "All You Wanna Do" is "Get Down" with a musical about the "Ex Wives" of Henry VIII, there's "No Way" you'll want to miss this episode of Grape Culture. The gang crack open an assortment of wine and talk about the feminist musical sensation, Six.

Thanks to Rebel Wilson, Anna Kendrick, Elizabeth Banks, and that goddamn Cup Song, the Pitch Perfect trilogy has been one of the most successful female-driven franchises of the last decade - but how feminist is it at its core?

As long as there's been civilisation, there has been make-up - but why do we continue to line, cover, and enhance our natural features? On this week's episode, Sam, Kim and Alex talk about their experiences with make-up, its place in the world of the "influencer", and how it goes beyond the world of fashion into the world of artistry and self-expression.
