Happy Friday (following the longest week of 2024). First up, artist and poet James Massiah has claimed that bestselling author Coco Mellors (Blue Sisters) brazenly based one of her characters on him.

This week on the Podcast, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone discuss the devastating news that broke last week, that One Direction singer Liam Payne had died unexpectedly and tragically at the age of 31 in Argentina.

Is it time for there to be a reckoning with how we deal with celebrity death? You can skip to roughly 37 minutes if you...

This week on pod, The Three Musketeers are back together. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone soldier through the battlefield of streaming services, why is it that Netflix loves to cancel shows in their infancy? We want to fight them!

The action centres around various prophecies, relationships and quests as Zeus tries to prevent...

This week on the pod, Ruchira and Beth are taking The Substance! Taking it for a spin around the content playground, that is. We discuss whether Mubi’s latest film release is a feminist masterpiece, or just a mess of blood, guts and big fake boobs.

This week it’s our beloved Oenone’s turn to be ill- she was very missed but the show went on with Ruchira and Beth getting stuck into the debate about modern concert etiquette after a viral call out after a Chappell Roan gig. Are we forgetting how to behave at events or are times simply changing? Next up is Jamali Maddix’s documentary on so-called ‘passport bros’ who encourage young men to travel to South America to find better lives and better wives. A sinister male MLM in the making or just...

Today on Everything Is Content we’re kicking back and sticking the TV on. Is The Perfect Couple worth a binge or shall we just rewatch The White Lotus? Is ITV’s Bad Boyfriends classic reality chaos or an exploitative step back? And WHEN are they getting an HR department on Selling Sunset? We also chat about Dolly Alderton’s rules for life. What did we love and what would we add? Finally, we’re sharing bad date stories after Diane Abbott’s confession that Corbyn took her to a cemetery on a...

An attack on freedom or a necessary step to keep us all healthier? We discuss.  And finally we’re talking all about friendship break-ups. Why do they...

And finally Beth wrote an opinion piece about moving out of London and in with her...

This week on Everything Is Content, we’re dissecting yet another controversial essay from The Cut: is it normal to hate your pet after having a baby? Are magazines sacrificing integrity for clicks? We’re also talking about the rumoured BTS feud on It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Why is the internet taking sides and is there more to this than meets the eye? Plus, a nation mourns after Molly Mae and Tommy Fury’s break-up announcement on Wednesday. If you want to...

Let us...

This week on Everything Is Content, we thought it was about time to discuss the Netflix docu-series that everyone has been raving about for the last few weeks - America’s Sweethearts.

We also take a look at the return of smutty literature - why do we sometimes look down on the genre, and is it about time we read some?  We also check in about how we’re feeling following the week of unrest in the UK. What...

Happy Olympics everyone! Despite knowing basically nothing about *actual* sport, we dive into some of our fave moments from the games so far. We also delve head first into the article that EVERYONE has been talking about this week - The Times piece about the influencer Ballerina Farm. Has this rightfully reignited the tradwife debate - or should we just leave her alone to raise her kids and milk her cows?  We also want to know if you were at the open air screening of Mamma Mia that got...

Wake up babe, new nonsense body insecurity just dropped! This week on Everything Is Content, we’re discussing the term ‘septum arms’ which was generated by the TikTok algorithm... what does this tell us about the speed of the trend cycle, and should we be concerned about the gen pop’s level of internet literacy?  And, of course - we’re discussing the Kamala Harris x brat meme cycle… should we be pleased that politicians are trying to engage younger voters or is this distracting us from...

Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone in conversation with the brilliant journalist, podcaster and author Olivia Petter.  Olivia’s debut novel Gold Rush is out now - it’s a story about consent, celebrity culture and trying to work out where women fit in a world that constantly devalues and disrespects their bodies... sounds right up our street, eh?!
