July 09, 2023 The truth behind Married at First Sight
TW: Suicide

This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by Married at First Sight UK contestant Gemma Rose Barnes. Gemma wanted the perfect partner to complete her life, and so she signed up to MAFS in the belief that she was going to find just that, even getting a tattoo in honour of this man who she hadn’t met yet. She ended up becoming a controversial figure on MAFS due to her willingness to make crude jokes and openly talk about sex. She shares that her words were edited and taken out of context, and that her new husband’s keenness was edited out all together. Gemma experienced various mental health and addiction struggles, exacerbated due to the show, and had to make a change. Now sober, Gemma shares the reality behind this “reality” TV show, and how we as viewers need to take a more discerning attitude towards it.

EDIT- A Channel 4 Spokesperson said: "Contributor care and wellbeing is of paramount importance and appropriate support is available to contributors before, during and after broadcast. Any concerns raised by contributors about safety would always be taken extremely seriously and we would take prompt and appropriate action when needed. Any action taken would always be agreed with the cast members involved to ensure they were satisfied with the resolution and outcome. Contributors are able to leave the process at any time. During filming, alcohol consumption is at the discretion of individuals, but it is monitored and limited by the production team and contributor welfare is always prioritised. All broadcast episodes of MAFS U.K. are a fair and accurate reflection of the events that took place."

July 02, 2023 We need to talk about the housing crisis with Kwajo
This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by social housing activist Kwajo Tweneboa. Kwajo grew up in social housing, and his family were housed in inhabitable conditions: unsafe spaces riddled with mould, cockroaches, mice, leaks and damp. Kwajo’s father was diagnosed with cancer and, whilst being nursed in this environment, passed away from his illness. After receiving little to no help in making their home habitable, Kwajo decided enough was enough, and gathered evidence from over 500 tenants that lived on his estate; this enabled them to shame their housing association into finally carrying out the works that were needed. From there, Kwajo has been continuing the fight, shaming landlords and housing associations across the UK into providing safe, sanitary homes for all.

June 19, 2023 Life after cancer with Georgie Swallow
This week, the girls are joined by creator, cancer survivor and close friend Georgie Swallow. At 26, Georgie was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma. Without any time to think, she had to jump into chemotherapy to save her life. The only way to get through the exhausting and devastating process was to remain positive and power through. Now, after a second diagnosis and treatment, Georgie is living life at her healthiest. However, this doesn’t mean that cancer doesn’t still cause her daily issues. From infertility to gut health issues, Georgie marches through each day, and as the girls say, all while exuding sunshine. Georgie uses her platform to spread joy, body confidence and share what life is like after cancer.

June 11, 2023 90210 and beyond with Shenae Grimes-Beech
This week on the pod, the girls chat to actress and content creator Shenae Grimes-Beech. Shenae shot to fame on 90210, after featuring in the tv show Degrassi in her native Canada. Shenae was alone in Hollywood, navigating her late teens, and grappling with misinformation and harassment from the tabloid press. This newfound attention caused rifts within the cast and meant that she felt more alone than when she arrived to the States. Shenae shares her story, smashes the misconceptions invented by the tabloids, and discusses life beyond 90210.
