Everything Is Content

Everything is Friday! And Friday is for content.  In this week’s big and beautiful main episode we kick off discussions with the Netflix game show Inside. Is watching already-rich people cosplay frugality for money really where we're at? Next up: why so many stories about the same couple, Daily Mail? We ask- when does celeb gossip cross the line into cruel harassment? Is there even a line at...

Whoah – the number of messages in our inbox for this week's Everything In Conversation was huge. Turns out you all have lots of thoughts for.... our deep-dive into allegations Gen Z are killing the club, and forecasts nightclubs are set to become extinct as a result. Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts. It was such a pleasure to sift through them and wade into this topic with your help...

The most blessed day of the week is here – EIC drop day. Bury your face in some classic online discourse with this week's furore around a few grainy pics of Margot Robbie on-set for Wuthering Heights. Perhaps less silly – the misogyny slop network funnelling you into alt-right content... Finally, we might be spending hours online a day, but are any of us Very Online anymore? Thank you so much for...

It's Wednesday- let's talk. This week we chatted with you about the now infamous and highly-memed morning routine of American fitness influencer Ashton Hall, which included multiple ice dunkings, healthy food prepared by female staff, some mid-air hovering and a lot of alone time. With over 2.93 million subscribers on YouTube and 4.7 million followers on TikTok (at time of recording), he’s in the...

Congratulations – you've made it through the week. Your gift is a brand new EIC episode! Everyone has (rightly) been floored by Netflix's latest drama tackling misogyny, online bullying and radicalisation. Adolescence has been praised as 'flawless' TV. Is four episodes enough to explore such a rich issue? And are the right characters platformed in this story? Severance stans – you've wai...

Hello EIC-heads, happy Wednesday... let's chat! One two-word phrase has blown up on the internet in the past year - let them. Its creator, Mel Robbins, is a popular motivational speaker and self-help figure. In 2023, she posted a tiktok on the theory, which now has 20m views and an instagram post where she said 'I’ve just learnt about this thing called the ‘let them theory’.  The Cut’s r...

Happy Everything Is Content day & Happy Friday! Ruchira is back from her holiday... We're SO back... but we're also so sorry to tell you that we’re now old enough that Gen Z are romanticising the 2010s. After years of us Millennials being an absolute joke to them, they’re now craving a life of Buzzfeed, hipster myspace and American Apparel disco pants. We ask what it is about Millennial cultur...

It's another highly requested Everything In Conversation! This time we're diving into the discourse surrounding actor Millie Bobby Brown, after she was highly criticised for 'looking old'. Are we right to scrutinise young stars and their aesthetic choices, or have we slipped back into 00s cultural shaming? Thank you to everyone to messaged in with thoughts for this. Remember you can also get your...

Happy EIC Day to all who celebrate & all who don’t! This week the show is sadly still sans Ruchira but don’t worry- she will be back next Weds.  Running wild yet again, Beth & Oenone trade TV, book & Swedish pop recommendations before chatting everything #Oscars. What films have we seen, what moments did we love, who was dressed to the nines & who failed to fully deliver on th...

We’re back and midweek episodes have never sounded so good! After two amazing author interviews, we’re returning to your ears with our take on the Belle Gibson fake cancer story and its recent Netflix adaptation, Apple Cider Vinegar. We discuss what we thought of the series and ask whether certain digital wellness spaces nurture and encourage these kind of unscrupulous profiteers and how we can fi...

Happy Friday and even happier Everything Is Content day! This week the pod is missing our beloved Ruchira (on hols) but are determined to put on a good and- frankly chaotic- show until she’s back in our arms. First up we talk about everyone’s favourite luxury murder show White Lotus. Who are we loving, hating and hoping ends up dead by the end? Plus- is this latest series a familiar high-end hotel...

Happy Hump Day EIC heads - we've got another author special for you! Our beloved Beth is ill, so she’s resting up, but Ruchira & Oenone are holding the fort and they’ve got an amazing interview for you with debut novelist Dr Nussaibah Younis. Nussaibah is a peace-building practitioner and a globally recognised expert on contemporary Iraq, and even advised the Iraqi government on humanitarian i...

Happy Friday! Last week we dropped the first part of our EIC special on porn, looking at the creators and platforms taking over the industry. This week our (highly anticipated) second part looks at the people behind the screens: the consumers. First up, why is porn addiction such a divisive topic among academics? And does it even exist? We answer that question and look at the deeper issues contrib...

In our first Everything In Conversation of 2025 we’re talking to thee Shon Faye- brilliant author, writer and journalist. Shon’s first book The Transgender Issue was a bestseller and her new non-fiction Love in Exile is already one of our favourite reads of this year. Exploring both her own experiences of love, heartbreak and feelings of unworthiness as well as the problems and challenges of moder...

Happy Valentines Day - as a special treat, we've got a double deep dive for you - Everything Is Content, and some things, are Adult Content. This week on the podcast we’re delving into the world of OnlyFans and digital sex work for part one of our two-part Porn series. In this instalment we are going to be talking about sexy subscription services, the Lily Phillips documentary and Bonnie Blue’s ba...

It's the extra episode!! This week we're diving into the most divisive topic we've done yet: the ethics of surrogacy. Our DMs were flooded with requests for this, after Lily Collins and her husband got a huge amount of backlash for sharing the news that they'd welcomed a baby into the world through surrogacy. Thank you so much for your thoughts on this one. Just a reminder to follow us on the gram...

 It's TIIIIIMEEEEE for Everything Is Content - Happy Friday EIC heads, we did it, another week bites the dust. As HUGE Motherland fans, we were eagerly anticipating the new BBC spin off Amandaland. The sitcom, produced by another love of our life, Sharon Horgan, follows Amanda (the leader of the alpha-mum’s from the original show, with her perfectly blow-dried blonde hair, insufferable l...

Happy hump day EIC heads! As a reward for making it halfway to the weekend here’s a brand spanking episode of Everything In Conversation for you- and it’s a doozy.  This week we’re discussing a new branch of the nepo baby discourse that sprouted after 24-year-old singer and Messy internet sensation Lola Young was “outed” as being the niece of mega-successful children’s author Julia Donaldson...

TGIF and TGIEICD (thank god it's Everything Is Content Day... is this gonna catch on?) This week, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dip their toe in the fashion discourse, if 2025 Haute Couture is anything to go by, then quiet luxury and stealth wealth might be being booted out for loud luxury, extravagance and labels, sorry Sofia Richie Grainge! Next up, Selena Gomez posted a tearful video on Instagram St...

Everything In Conversation is BACK with a meaty one for you. With your incredible input, we waded into the threat of a TikTok ban in the US. Just how impactful would losing the platform be for creators and audiences; could any good come from it; and what are the political motivations at play? President Trump has positioned himself as the short-from video saviour, but this isn't strictly true... Th...

Happy Friday! Happy Everything Is Content day more importantly!  One story that dominated the news cycle this week - the inauguration. Whether we liked it or not, Donald Trump's speech and questionable guest-list was unavoidable. We dived into the rise of the broligarch, our fears for Trump 2.0 and the promises he's already made on trans rights and climate action (i.e. to protect neither). Li...

Happy Wednesday, or unhappy Wednesday, it's been a weird week. Here at the EIC newsroom, we will fill you in - welcome to Everything In Conversation. This week on the extra episode, we discuss BrewDog founder James Watt's approach to work/life balance... which is to not have one. He came under fire after he shared a video of him and his fiancé, Georgia Toffolo, where he says, ‘so I just think the...

In the famous words of Rebecca Black: "it's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!" And we're back with a brand new episode of Everything Is Content! This week we're drinking UP the Babygirl discourse like a tall glass of milk. Were we intolerant to the film, or lapping it up and asking for more?  Also, there's drama in the romantasy world and it doesn't involve magical creatures, but rath...

Happy Wednesday! You know what that means – a brand new Everything in Conversation. This week on the podcast we're diving into the viral essay that incinerated the timelines just before Christmas. Yes, we're talking about The Cut's Lilly Jay essay. For anyone who doesn't know, last year stories of an alleged affair circulated around Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. The pair...

Happy new year and welcome back to Everything is Content! We hope you’ve missed this as much as we have (e.g. extremely, enormously and a lot). In our first episode of 2025 we’re setting our intentions for the year to come- one of us wants to go up a big hill, one of us wants to get bendy and one of us wants a full rebrand. We also discuss our relationships to reinvention and ask: is it toxic to s...
