 It’s another week where we’re pining for our baby girl Ruchira, but luckily the pop-culture universe has served us a big SCOOP of content to dissect this week… Join Beth and Oenone as we discuss the movie that everyone is talking about - Lindsay Lohan’s Irish Wish, the arrival of a new Banksy on someone’s gaff in Islington and the return of everyone’s problematic fave… 2010s feminism!

Ep 16: 2010s feminism is back, baby!

In a world where Everything Is Content - Beth McColl, Ruchira Sharma and Oenone are here to guide you through the stories that have ignited the online zeitgeist each week.
Films, viral long-reads, Instagram scandals, reality TV obsessions…: whether it's fine art or a TikTok trend, if you can post about it on the internet - then we can and will turn it into discourse. 
Every week, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone will obsess over the pop-culture culture stories that fascinate us all and weigh-in on the conversations that they have incited online. Why are we so interested in these stories? And what does this say about us as we try to navigate life in the *real world*
Get in huns, we're about to make some content!

Oenone’s back on good old fashioned British soil so we’re all back in the studio together again, and boy does it feel good! Join the girlies for the biggest debate we have probably ever had on the podcast… is the term ‘hot rodent’ a compliment or is it derogatory? We also dive into some of the nuance behind the return of Loaded - are we going to welcome erotica in back into our newsagents with open arms? We also get into bookworm mode to discuss one of the most hotly anticipated books of the summer - Coco Mellors’ second book Blue Sisters. Don't worry - the conversation is spoiler free for anyone who hasn't read the book yet!
Wanna chat? We’re on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod. We love having a natter over there so do let us know if there is anything you’d like us to cover, or if you have an opinion you think we should know!

Ep 27: Hot rodent boyfriends, the return of lads' mags and Blue Sisters

Today we’ll be taking a deep dive into the fountain of youth for our second beauty special - and this time we’re talking about ageing. Has looking become replaced being skinny as the toxic beauty standard of today? Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone as we discuss some of the gorgeous women who have chosen to age visibly in the public eye, how anti-ageing pressure can impact men as well as women and how the pressure to look young has trickled down to primary school age children. 
If you have anything you’d like to add to the conversion - you can get in touch with us on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod. We’d love to hear from you. 
Last week we did a special deep dive into makeovers - so get yourself back over there to listen to that if you haven’t heard it yet!

Ep 26: Ageing - a deep dive

Get ready for a glow-up because for the next two weeks on Everything Is Content we’re taking a deep dive into the world of beauty. 
In today’s episode we’re looking at makeovers - from Andy’s bangs in The Devil Wears Prada to Trinny and Susannah, we grew up in the peak era of makeovers on TV and film. Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone to discuss the effect that cultural representations of makeovers have had on us - and how makeover and glow up culture is manifesting itself today. 
We’d love to hear what you think about the - sometimes ugly - world of beauty. Chat to us over on @everythingiscontentpod on Instagram.
Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss our second beauty special next week - where we will take a forensic look at the world of ageing.

Our Beth is in Bermuda this week - but don’t worry, as far as we’re aware she hasn’t got lost in the triangle - so join Ruchira and Oenone for this week’s episode of Everything Is Content!

Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone to discuss our favourite looks from the green carpet. We also take a look at some of the reviews of Dua Lipa’s new album Radical Optimism - are we witnessing the death of critical journalism?
