Culture Vulture

It is incredibly BITTER (and a lil sweet) that this is our LAST ever Culture Vulture with our wonderful Liv. Liv has blessed us with her ability to describe things like the Johnny V Amber case, her in-depth psychoanalyses of celebrity culture (and her multiple vehicle mishaps) and we are going to miss her DEEPLY. But, coming in hot on the mic is London Laura, and we introduce you all to her for th...

This week an update on the Rust shooting, Kylie Jenner's baby name reveal, and a deep dive on cringing. What makes us cringe? Why do we cringe? Why should we embrace it? We even have some live cringing on mic - you don't wanna miss this episode!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A bit of a philosophical ep on the cards today team, but not before we debunk all the rumours spreading about Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth (nothing like a bit of media literacy to start the ep!). TikTok has gone WILD with big unsubstantiated claims (what's new) about Liam's behaviour during their relashe - and people have been taking it as fact??? Not on this pod! Then, we get into intrinsic vs...

The gals are away enjoying the Christmas and New Year. Enjoy some of our fave episodes from 2022! This weeks episode has been a long time coming (and had to be recorded twice to get it perfect) and it's all about when/ how/ and IF you can separate the art from the artist. Spoiler - there's no right or wrong answer here - it's an incredibly personal and introspective topic, but we give you so many...

The gals are away enjoying the Christmas and New Year. Enjoy some of our fave episodes from 2022! This week we discuss the two trends taking over our TikTok/ news feeds at the moment - 'That Girl' and 'Goblin Mode.' Why do we need to keep flattening ourselves and labelling ourselves? Are trends taking the place of religion? How closely is goblin mode tied to mental health? How close is 'That Girl'...

Luce and Liv are back with another complex conversation this week, after they talk about the SYSCA follower who made out with Matty Healy on stage in a recent show!!! But the main event - Chris Brown. Why, after all these years, continued allegations of abuse, restraining orders, and a proven history of domestic violence - do we continue to give him a platform? We don't have all the answers, but w...
