You can find out more about Desserto (cactus leather), Piñatex (pineapple leather) and Appleskin (apple leather) on their websites.

  • Sustainability: Slowing Down Fashion Part One
    In celebration of Earth Month we decide to delve into the complexities of sustainable fashion! In this fast fashion first parter we tackle the greenwashing of "the haul", the gentrification of depop, and give you some of our favourite slow fashion brands.

  • Petty Is As Petty Does
    Who isn't petty? Probably nobody. Stocking a fridge full of yoghurts passive aggressively, the lengths that Burt Reynolds went through to be a bit petty and what we think is the core of being a salty little b.

  • God Save The Queen

    The family we love to hate: the Royal Family. A stunning play by play of all of the times they were racist and offensive, and a deep dive into *that* Oprah interview.

  • The Ick

    Ever get the sudden feeling that the person you're dating is utterly repulsive and that you are embarrassed to be with them? Yeah, us neither. Talking about the ick, red flags and what it all means - and as per our usual, we think it may all come down to low self-esteem.

    Get in witches, we're going hexing! In honour of spooky season we take a look at some of the best and worst Witch moments modern media has to offer.

  • Rom Coms

    Hello lovers, it's time to cast a light on the most prestigious of movie genres: the humble rom-com. We take a look at iconic films and actors, the origins of the rom-com, and ask why did rom-coms want us to fancy Jack Black and Michael Cera so much? Listen in for one of the most contentious Cop On debates to date: is The Lobster (2015) a rom-com?

  • Cults

    Have you ever had an energy snake climb out of your arse? Or followed graphic comic book scripture that told you how much toilet paper to use? Or carried out nuclear terrorism on citizens that wrong did your sect? Well, we hope not but buckle up to hear all about it. We discuss some of the cults we find most interesting, including The Family, Aum Shinkrikyo and Universal Medicine. You can listen on any of the usual platforms, and if you don't rate and review on Apple Podcasts... You won't receive all of those juicy afterlife promises.
