Zero Context with Grace Elise

In today’s episode, Grace talks about politics and how Politician’s seem to weasel their way out of trouble. The marketing of the south and how people seem to forgot the North has good qualities too. A deep dive into Olivia Dean’s music, her emotional impact on listeners and the opening of her tour. Finally, Grace finishes the episode with a view into the murder of John Lennon, talking about the h...

This week on Zero Context, we bond over childhood TV show nostalgia (and my questionable first crush) to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, uncover one of Glasgow’s strangest crimes involving a cucumber, and somehow end up reflecting on what it actually feels like to grow up at 17. It’s chaotic, slightly concerning, and makes no sense - until it does.

In this episode of Zero Context, Grace somehow connects the Oscars, The American Constitution, True Crime, and a minor crisis about friendships - as you do. We start with Jessie Buckley, break down the basics of the American Constitution, then we deep dive the case of the Yorkshire Ripper, and finally, we talk about that strange stage of life where you have friends but you don’t have friends. Osca...

In this episode of Zero Context, Grace dives into a chaotic mix of British History, Internet drama and slightly accidental philosophy. First, we rewind through the history of protests in the UK - from the Chartist movement to the Suffragettes, and how some of the rights we see as normal today actually came from people causing absolute political chaos in the past. Then it’s the media, where we talk...

In this episode of Zero Context, we cover a very mixed selection of topics. First, we break down Brexit in simple terms - what it actually means, why the UK voted to leave the EU, and why people are still debating it years later. Then we shift to something a little lighter: the Eurovision Song Contest and the UK’s 2026 entry. Has the UK basically given up on winning? Finally, we talk about one of...

In this episode of Zero Context, we attempt to unpack the chaos of modern life. First, a simple breakdown of the US-Iran-Isreal situation and why global tensions are rising. Then we look closer to home at why university in the UK costs over £27,000 and why student loans are such a huge political debate. We end up with a reflection on friendships changing as you grow up and why that might be a norm...

This episode of Zero Context, we start at the BRIT awards (because obviously), spiral into the theatre of modern politics featuring names like Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, and somehow end up questioning whether "girl dinner" is empowerment or just burnout in a cute font. We’re talking - Award Shows as performance art - Politics as reality TV with consequences - Why ‘bed rotting’ has better brand...

This episode of Zero Context is doing what it does best - jumping from the BAFTAS to real-life political shifts in the Gorton and Denton By-Election. Grace talks big award show moments, why the internet argues about everything and why local elections actually matter (even if you pretend they don’t). It’s headlines, hot takes, and a little existential spiral - all in one episode.
