Shallow

Oh, we are so back.

Season 4 is officially here(!!!) and we’re kicking things off with someone very special.

The moment we met Trisha Avery, we knew she had to open the season. Her story is powerful, unfiltered, and completely captivating, so we threw our usual structure out the window and just talked.

In this episode, we dive into feminism, endometriosis, identity, womanhood, and what it really means to live loud in a world that still tells women to shrink.

It’s real, raw, and the perfect way to start the season - we hope you love it!

Nobody asked, but we had to. Welcome to The Life of a Showgirl album review... a dive into one of the most talked-about pop releases of the year.

We break down how The Life of a Showgirl was marketed, the online backlash and praise, and the cultural conversation it sparked. Was it overhyped? Underrated? And most importantly... is it actually that deep?

The Shallow Take? Internalised misogyny isn’t that deep… right?

You’ve heard the jokes...

“I’m not like other girls,”

“She’s too emotional,”

“Girls are just so dramatic.”

But what if the punchline is actually the problem?

This week on Shallow, we’re diving into the subtle, everyday ways internalised misogyny shows up in our thoughts, our words, and how we treat other women — often without even realising it.

We’re talking about the messages we’ve absorbed since day one: that femininity is weakness, that women are competition, that we should shrink ourselves (and our bodies) to be accepted.

So… is internalised misogyny just another internet buzzword, or is it shaping how we see ourselves and each other?

Let’s find out if it’s really that deep 🎧

The Shallow Take? Overconsumption is out, and underconsumption might finally be in.

After years of shopping hauls, fast fashion, and feeling like every outfit needs to be worthy of the gram', are we finally done with buying stuff we don’t need?

This week on Shallow, we’re joined by fashion writer and industry expert Ashleigh Cameron to talk about why less might really be more. From falling back in love with your wardrobe to challenging the constant pressure to consume, we’re asking:

– Is 2025 the year we stop shopping?

– Can you still love fashion without buying anything new?

– Is underconsumption just another trend… or something deeper?

Let’s dive into the rise of rewearing, rethinking, and reclaiming our style... without maxing out our credit cards.

The Shallow Take? Looking good is a fast track to success.

But is pretty privilege actually real, or just another way we justify chasing impossible beauty standards?

In this episode of Shallow, we’re diving into the link between appearance and opportunity. Does looking your best really make you more productive? Can being attractive open doors in work, dating, and life? Or… are we just stuck in a loop of performative self-improvement?

We’re asking whether beauty really equals power... or if it’s all just surface-level.

Let’s dive in.

The Shallow Take? Reality TV is the ultimate guilty pleasure.

Fake fights, mystery “sources,” chaotic edits, we know it’s not real, but we still can’t stop watching. From Made in Chelsea to Real Housewives to Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the past decade has been a binge-worthy mess… and we’ve loved every second.

But is it all harmless drama? Or has reality TV helped fuel a culture obsessed with beauty, fame, and clout?

This week, we’re joined by the oracle of reality TV herself, Lottie Somers, to unpack the highs, lows, and so many confessionals.

We’re asking: Is it empowering… or exploitative? How has reality TV reshaped pop culture? And is the drama ever actually real?

Scripted or not, the gossip’s good.

Is it really that deep? Let’s dive in.

The Shallow Take? OnlyFans is rebranding exploitation as liberation.

But is it really that simple?

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of OnlyFans... The platform often painted as either empowering or exploitative, depending on who you ask.

Critics say it profits off women’s bodies, feeds the male gaze, and reinforces toxic beauty standards. But for some creators, it’s a space for autonomy, agency, and serious income. So... is OnlyFans giving women power, or just another system built by men, for men?

We’re talking sex, money, control, and whether liberation inside a broken system is even possible.

Is it really that deep?

Let’s dive in.

The Shallow Take? OnlyFans is where people take their clothes off for cash.

But what if it’s actually rewriting the rules around sex, money, and women’s control? For some creators, it’s not just about content - it’s about power. A platform where women set their own terms, own their audience, and keep the profits.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how OnlyFans works, why it’s become a cultural lightning rod, and whether it’s actually a feminist revolution… or just capitalism in a cuter outfit.

This is part one of a two-part conversation on sex work, autonomy, and the business of desire.

🎧 Hit play & Dive in - it’s way deeper than you think.

The Shallow Take? Going sober is the obvious healthy choice… but is it actually that deep?

This week on Shallow, we’re picking up where our sober-curious deep dive left off, with a real-life test.

We’re joined by our friend Jordan Fores-Higgens, who gave up alcohol for an entire year leading up to her 30th birthday.

No cocktails, no “just one" - A full year, booze-free.

So… did it change her life? Was it a glow-up, a wake-up, or just another wellness trend dressed in clean-girl aesthetics?

We’re talking sober milestones, unexpected identity shifts, social pressure, and whether giving up drinking is really that deep.

Let’s dive in.

The Shallow Take: Fashion is frivolous.

This week on Shallow, we’re joined by designer and entrepreneur Christine Lindebak (founder of Sewing in the City) to talk about what really goes on behind the scenes of the fashion industry.

From self-expression to identity, politics to power, fashion shapes how we see ourselves and how we’re seen. But behind the glamour is a different story: global supply chains, labour conditions, sustainability, and the high cost of “cheap” clothes.

Christine shares her journey, from working in New York City for renowned fashion houses to building her own brand and reimagining the industry from the inside out, with a focus on ethics, inclusivity, and creativity.

Is the fashion industry actually much deeper than it looks? Let’s dive in.
