“Not That Kind of Nerd” is an exploration of culture, creativity, and identity through a different lens. Episode 1 is an introduction with segments that include a beginning story, Moments in pop culture and AI news, and Culture Nugget about Samhain, and the Lyrics Lounge. Stay tuned and enjoy!

A slightly different change of pace this episode: rather than focusing on the content of shows themselves, Pippa and I talk about the behind the scenes! Listen to us unpack and analyse the most interesting stories of what was happening in the production of some of our favourite shows!

We want to thank you all for your support throughout these years - we are so grateful.

WARNING ⛔️⚠️: TRAUMA DUMP

How many times have you cried about uni ending? Because we CRIED. So listen to what we have to say about our own experience with the end of uni blues and being forced into adulthood before we’re ready.

do awards shows matter? questionable. but here we’re going to overanalyse them anyway. Pippa and I go through the Emmy winners and nominations through the past 20 (ish) and we discuss our thoughts on the major winners, shows/performers we think were snubbed and the type of shows that the Emmys historically ignore.

Meet our smallest friend! Juana will teach you about her personal stalking experiences and she’ll happily violate one of us (and it’s not Bubi) for 40 minutes straight!

Your turn to let us know which guest has been your favourite so far!

🌀EPISODE 11 : PLT, PILATES & PERFECTION: THE CLEAN GIRL ILLUSION

In this episode, we dive into PrettyLittleThing’s (PLT) rebranding and its broader societal impact, particularly in how beauty ideals shift over time.

We explore the contrast between the “clean girl aesthetic” symbolized by matcha, pilates, and minimalist luxury and the realities of everyday life.

A key discussion point is Nara Smith’s “trad wife” persona and how conservative values are subtly resurfacing in male-dominated spaces, exemplified by trends like the carnivore diet.

We also analyze how body expectations have evolved. PLT’s shift from the “baddie” era, marked by diversity and curvier body types, to a return to a thinner ideal. This transition mirrors today’s economic landscape, where recessions often bring back exclusivity and aspirational beauty standards.

Ultimately, this episode unpacks how branding, social media, and cultural shifts shape our perceptions of beauty, health, and gender roles.
