The music industry has never moved faster. With TikTok dictating what goes viral, artists designing concerts for shareable moments, and the explosion of live shows post-COVID, is authenticity in music still alive?

Formula 1 and tennis have always been elite sports, but their influence on pop culture has never been stronger. With Drive to Survive making F1 appointment television and Challengers bringing tennis back into fashion, both sports have become status symbols as much as they are competitions. But is this newfound popularity making these sports more accessible, or just more exclusive? We dive into the intersection of sports, celebrity, and fashion to find out.

This week, we’re joined by concert photographer Charlie Pief, who went from fangirl to shooting some of the biggest artists on stage. She spills on what it takes to break into an industry built on networking and nepotism—especially when you’re not based in a major city—plus the importance of mentorship, the rise of women in a traditionally male-dominated field, and her dream artists to shoot. She’s worked with some of your faves, and she’s got the stories to prove it.

The 2025 Oscars nominations just dropped, and we have THOUGHTS. Did Kieran Culkin actually act in A Real Pain, or was he just being himself? Why is Emilia Perez even here (and how did it become the worst-rated Best Picture nominee ever on Letterboxd)? Meanwhile, Challengers was completely robbed, Dune 2 deserved way more love, and we’re officially starting a campaign for Timothée Chalamet’s first Oscar. Oh, and can we talk about how AI needs to stay FAR away from cinema (side-eyeing The Brutalist)? Tune in for our takes, our unhinged predictions, and the inevitable rage we’ll feel on Oscars night.

At this point, we genuinely don’t know how to watch a movie without checking our phones every five minutes. But is that just us, or have attention spans collectively crumbled? This week, we’re spiraling about how modern media has completely rewired the way we consume stories—from why limited series feel easier to commit to than a 2.5-hour film, to the endless cycle of franchise reboots that keep us from ever having to learn about new characters. Have we broken our ability to focus? Are we witnessing the end of original stories? Or are we just products of the algorithm industrial complex? Either way, no need to concentrate too hard—we’ve already done the overthinking for you.

Sheyda and Sumi are diving into the madness of the 2025 Grammys—the wins, the losses, and the internet meltdowns in between. From Kendrick Lamar turning a diss track into a Grammy sweep to Beyoncé finally securingthat Album of the Year win, we break down how this year’s awards felt both groundbreaking and predictable at the same time.

We get into the pop girlie moments (Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan’s well-earned wins), the shocking snubs (Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish left empty-handed?!), and what these results say about the industry, fan culture, and who the Recording Academyactually rewards. Tune in as we unpack the night’s biggest moments, give our unfiltered takes, and try to figure out… did the Grammys finally get it right?

First, we wore pink for Barbie. Then, we swapped friendship bracelets at the Eras Tour. Now, everything is girl—girl math, girl dinner, girl trends. But is this the best thing to happen to feminism, or are we just turning it into an aesthetic? Is this an awakening for girls around the world, or another source of marketable content?

In this episode, we break down how Greta Gerwig’s success, TikTok’s obsession with girlhood, the ever-growing female communities formed through fandoms & fan practices, as well as the backlash against Wicked, reveal both the power and the pitfalls of digital feminism.

From reclaiming girlhood to the rise of girl-coded everything, we’re asking: Are we actually in our feminism era?

In the second episode of Someone in the Crowd, Sheyda and Sumi break down the complexities of cancel culture—when it works, when it doesn’t, and how it often prevents people from genuinely learning and growing from their mistakes. We delve into the double standards of public outrage, exploring how women and people of color are disproportionately impacted, and question why society holds celebrities to higher standards than those in their personal lives. Plus, we examine the voyeuristic side of cancel culture and its unexpected role in shaping modern parasocial relationships. It’s a thought-provoking conversation on accountability, redemption, and what it truly means to consume media responsibly.
