Ep 9: When does stan culture go too far?

It was the week that Elmo asked us if we were all ok… spoiler alert: we’re not. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone have been to a VERY exciting screening... there's a deep dive on stan culture (please don't come for us!) and we take a look at how our 2024 reading goals are going so far. Warning: your TBR may double (or triple) in size after this episode...

Let us know on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod what book you'd like us to read together - we'll decide before next week's episode and then will all discuss it together in March!

On the podcast today:  1:02 - Stamptown  3:18 - Existential Elmo  6:58 - Stans  18:36 - Vanderpump Rules  25:37 - Reading Update
