  • The Nod, Nose Jobs & Neighborhood Drama: Race, Beauty and Belonging

    This week’s episode of Name To Be Determined kicks off with a very London drama: a neighbour, a stray cat, and an entire street ignoring common decency (typical 🙄).

    Later, Amanda and Amelia dive head-first into the messy world of beauty standards, interracial dating, and the unspoken social rules we’re all expected to follow:

    ✨ Why “pretty privilege” isn’t the same for everyone?

    ✨ Navigating dating as mixed-race or interracial couples

    ✨ How social media filters have become the new beauty baseline

    ✨ Body image, plastic surgery trends & identity pressure

    ✨ The politics of desirability — who society decides is attractive and why?

    As always, we bring humour, honesty, and a little chaos — because if we’re not laughing, we’ll probably cry. 🤷🏽‍♀️💋

    If you’ve ever felt boxed in by how you should look, who you should love, or what society expects from you — this conversation is your permission slip to break the rules.

  • AI, Authenticity & Modern Love: Are We All Getting Chat-Fished?

    In this week’s episode of Name To Be Determined, Amanda and Amelia dive straight back in with a hilarious catch-up on names, moods, and whether they're “turning or grinding” through life, we slide into a softer parenting moment… before taking a sharp left turn into the wild world of AI.

    From daily life hacks to emotional outsourcing, they dig into how ChatGPT is showing up in modern relationships — including the rise of chat-fishing (yes, people using AI to deepen their dating game 👀). They get honest about boundaries, emotional dependence, the ethics, the weirdness, and their own experiences using AI for more than just admin.

    It’s funny, honest, and filled with reminders to trust your own intuition — even in a world where an algorithm always has an opinion.

    If you’ve ever wondered where human connection ends and AI begins… this one’s for you!

  • The Comeback Episode: Friendship, Boundaries & Big Delulu Energy

    Best friends Amanda Millie and Amelia Fergusson return after a two-year break with a fresh, unfiltered reboot of Name To Be Determined. In this comeback episode, they reintroduce themselves, reflect on how much they’ve grown, and dive into the realities of modern dating, self-worth, and setting boundaries in relationships.

    They share their weekly “turning or grinding” moments, unpack performative friendships, and laugh about everything from weather-induced seasonal depression to the chaos of being women trying to navigate adulthood. The pair open up about the evolution of their 20-year friendship, what they’ve learned in the time off, and their big (slightly delulu) dreams for the future — including live shows.

    A raw, funny, and honest reset for longtime listeners and new ones alike.

  • My Private Jet Doesn’t Do Runways
    This week, we're talking about the fake wealth industry. Yes, that's a thing and it also rakes in over $1 billion a year. 
    It's the industry that helps influencers appear rich. Wanna show off on a private jet? There's a photographic studio for that. Wanna act like you're in Bora Bora? Don't worry, there's a company that can doctor your likeness and voice into beautiful Bora Bora scenery to make it look like you're on a lavish vacation. 
    Do we find it all a bit cringe, or aspirational? Tune in to find out!
