    She’s wearing a cape

    Helloooo!

    On today’s show: Hailey Bieber is pregnant! And her announcement with Justin Bieber was pretty delightful. What can the TV show of the year - Baby Reindeer - teach us about storytelling and fact vs fiction? Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are a duo again, what the hell happened on the set of the new Mad Max movie – and what are we to make of Anya Taylor Joy’s quotes? Plus! Meet Clickbait of the Week, a new segment we’re trying on.

    As we mentioned at the very top of this episode, if you are looking for ways to donate, head here for the link to CharityWatch - an independent charity watchdog - with options that you can consider.

    This week, Zara recommended ‘The Complicated Sisterhood of Jackie Kennedy and Lee Radziwill’ in Vanity Fair. Mich recommended ‘Can I Just Quit Therapy?’ by Melissa Dahl in The Cut.

    To read ‘Mad Max: Fury Road: The Oral History of a Modern Action Classic’ in The New York Times, head here.

    This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee.

    Big thanks to Australian Red Cross Lifeblood for making this episode possible. All you have to do is search ‘give blood’ and sign up to book a donation with Lifeblood today.

    Harry and Meghan: Part three

    Harry and Meghan: Part three

    Hiiii, friends!
    Welcome to the third and final part of our series on Harry and Meghan. As far as scandals go, there aren’t many bigger than Harry and Meghan’s dramatic estrangement from the British royal family. So, how did we get here? And who was really at fault for one of the great family fracturings of our time? 
    This episode was researched by Eilish Gilligan and Chloe Wilson, and audio produced by Annabelle Lee.
    Big thanks to Bridgerton S3, P1 for making this episode possible. This season will be released in two parts, the first part on 16 May, and the second part on 13 June. Only on Netflix! Grab all the Bridgerton fans in your life and mark your calendars.

    Who's the Big Me?

    Hello hello!

    On today’s show: the Met Gala guest list turned out to be… kind of second-rate, actually? Plus, a comprehensive explainer on what the hell went down between Drake and Kendrick Lamar this week, the influencers are truly influencing when it comes to baby names, two Home and Away stars have taken their on-screen romance off-screen too, Tom Brady’s been roasted and Madonna’s been swamped by… 1.6 million people.

    This week, Mich recommended watching Colin from Accounts on Binge. Zara recommended reading Prima Facie by Suzie Miller.

    This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee.

    Big thanks to SIX the Musical for making this episode possible. Save the date for August 2nd, because there’s an exclusive Shameless event happening - ‘A Night with Shameless at SIX’ - and you’re invited. Tickets are live now! Head here to grab some for you and your friends.

My comfort podcast

Like chatting with your girlfriends at brunch, but with more details!

Pop culture besties!

I’m obsessed with this podcast. Long drive? Shameless. Cleaning the house? Shameless. Working? Still listening to Shameless. It is genuinely the only podcast I’ve ever subscribed to, but I just cannot get enough. Zara and Michelle are my best friends via podcast, and you can’t convince me otherwise! :)

sarah__cardwell ,

I look forward so Shameless every week!

I love this podcast! And as a Swiftie I love that they talk about Taylor ! My favorite episodes are the scandal episodes. They really do their research and put in so much effort into making those episodes!
