Lowbrow

They say the way to a man's heart is through the stomach, and in the case of Harry Styles it looks like a certain salad dressing really hit the spot.

But how do we know this? Who spilt the tea? And what the heck is in that dressing?

This episode Shannen explores a love triangle, a tell-all and a delicious side - perfect for summer!

It’s a cool September night, in Sydney in the year 2000.Ian Thorpe is just moments away from breaking the 400m freestyle World Record, and while that isn’t what this story is about it is the catalyst that turned one young Tassie woman into a Princess.

Welcome to Lowbrow! One story, two generations, so much WTF.

This episode Holly Wainwright tells us the story of how Princess Mary of Denmark came to be a royal, the media response and the way her fairytale is used to taunt other royal women more than 20 years later.

In 2002, Avril Lavigne was one of the most well-known and idolised pop/rock stars in the world. Kids dressed in studded belts and ties, teens wore a little too much eye-liner and parents were trying to figure out what Sk8er Boi meant. 

And then time went on, Avril grew up and started making music that was... different. 

Or did she?

This week Shannen's deep dives into one of the weirdest celebrity conspiracy theories, and asks the question was Avril Lavigne replaced by a clone named Melissa?

In the 90's a gloriously permed Nicole Kidman, was swept off her feet by a hunky movie star named Tom Cruise. They starred in movies together, had a glorious Christmas Eve wedding, and were totally and completely smitten - and then a certain religion came knocking. 

This is a story of young love, heartbreak and aliens (kinda). 

One story, two generations, so much WTF.

There are two types of people in the world; those who are one of Only Fans star Anna Paul's millions of followers, and those who have no idea who she is.

Shannen is the former; as a Gen Z she watches Anna's every move play out on TikTok alongside millions of others. Holly, unsurprisingly, has absolutely zero clue who she is, so Shan breaks down how she rose to fame, what her appeal is, and exactly what happened at her meet and greet that shut down Perth for a day.

One story, two generations, so much WTF.

In 1993, one phone conversation rocked the entire world.

A private phonecall between a Prince and his rumoured mistress was splashed onto the pages of the world's biggest tabloid magazine. It lead to a high-profile divorce, global embarrassment and more tampons content than you can poke a stick at. 

This episode Holly unpacks Tampon-Gate, the who, the how and most importantly the why?!

One story, two generations, so much WTF.

On Shannen's first episode hosting, she's brought her favourite topic to the table. Five men, one iconic band, and millions of die-hard Gen Z fans.

When One Direction broke up, millions of Gen Z hearts were broken, but there was still hope of a reunion...that was until earlier this year, when one member did an interview with one of the biggest Youtubers in the world and spilled some serious tea.

This episode, Shannen fills in Holly in on the rise and fall, and fall again, of One Direction.

One story, two generations, so much WTF.

This episode of Lowbrow, we welcome our incredible new co-host Shannen Findlay and hear all about her pop-culture beginnings (One Direction fan-fiction). 

We flash-back to 2004, where a little movie called Mr & Mrs Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie starts filming in LA. 

Not long after the movies release Brad’s marriage to American sweetheart Jennifer Aniston is over, and just months later the first photos emerge of Brad and Angelina together. So what the hell happened?!

On Shannen's first episode, Holly breaks down one of the sexiest ‘feuds’ in celeb history, and what it says about broader society.

One story, two generations, so much WTF.
