    One Battle After Another, Greta & Getting Back With An Ex

    Hello content fans! Let's start the day off right with some pop culture convos. How about the explosive new Paul Thomas Anderson film, a much-maligned activist and getting back together with your ex? First (and with no major spoilers we promise!) One Battle After Another, where Leonardo Di Caprio plays Bob, a washed up revolutionary who has to dust off his go-bag and try to remember his code words to save his teenage daughter (Chase Infiniti) from an unhinged white nationalist (Sean Penn) who is on a clean-up mission. Right Wing pundits are calling for its cancellation while critics are stoking Academy Awards buzz- and we get into the lot. Up next we talk about Greta Thunberg's recent detainment by Israel and why we think she's been ripe for critique, hate and suppression ever since she picked up her very first protest sign. And lastly we're asking whether Bennifer are back on, just pals or a secret third thing that we couldn't possibly begin to comprehend? Oenone's been loving Steve. Beth's been loving Marina Abramović's Balkan Erotic Epic Ruchira's been loving nothing because she's been a poorly baby this week :( We miss her wisdom and wit and can't wait to have her back next week! Thank you so much for listening, as always please do leave us a rating and a review on your podcast player app, love you byeeeee O,R,B xx Miller's Girl Global Sumud Flotilla Dazed - How To Date When They're Your Ex One Battle After Another Is a Powerhouse of Tenderness and Fury In collaboration with Cue Podcasts.

    Everything In Conversation: The Life Of A Showgirl

    This is an emergency broadcast from the EIC newsroom, on the third of October 2025 Taylor Swift released her twelfth studio album, The Life Of A Show Girl. Here at EIC headquarters we had been warming to Taylor after a collective indifference, but it seems we may have potentially picked a bad time to enSwifticate ourselves. TLOAS tracks were leaked just before release, and immediately, the drama began. The album was recorded in Sweden with the producers Max Martin and Shellback, who she made "22," "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," "Blank Space," "Style," "Shake It Off," "…Ready For It?" and "Delicate."with, mostly during the European leg of the Eras Tour in 2024. The album consists of 12 tracks, with one featuring Sabrina Carpenter. It sold 2.7 million copies in traditional album sales — which include physical and digital formats — in its first day in the U.S. That’s according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company, breaking her previous record for most first week sales with TTPD. In the now infamous episode of her American Football playing fiance’s podcast, Taylor described the album as “What was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. It just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life. “And so that effervescence has come through on this record’ she said ‘that the goal of the album was “melodies that were so infectious that you’re almost angry at it” and also lyrics that “are as vivid, crisp, focused, and completely intentional.” ‘This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time. Every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons … It’s just right.” she said. Controversy started with Actually Romantic, which is rumoured to be about Charli xcx, but that isn’t her only eyebrow raiser. Some are upset at the highly sexualised nature of tracks like ‘wood’, some are critcising her for releasing multiple variants with bonus tracks, or different recordings, to appeal to collectors and boost album sales by counting each variant as a separate purchase; some of the promo videos that used QR codes or other interactive elements were flagged by people online as possibly being made partly with generative AI, which has caused a stir not least because Swift has been vocal about artists needing control of their work and masters, but also because of the awful instance when people made a deepfake of her. However that is unconfirmed. What is confirmed is that for the first time potentially in Swift’s career, it’s her own fans saying they don’t like the album, or are disappointed. We try to see the wood from the trees... see what we did there ;) Thanks so much for all of your takes on this topic, we appreciate you all!

    Emma Watson, The End Of Skinny & Nicole Kidman

    Hello Content Pups, strap in, seatbelts ON, we're going on a content road trip. This week on the podcast we’re talking about Emma Watson’s Jay Shetty interview (and the subsequent fall out), the way that GLP-1S, have democratised thinness - and what that means for body trends, and perhaps the biggest divorce in recent pop culture history  It's been a hefty week for celeb and pop culture stories, so yes you’re exactly right, we’re bringing back the EIC headlines; from Nicole Kidman's divorce, to Lola Young's statement and Super Bowl Sunday. Next up, last Wednesday an interview between podcaster and life coach Jay Shetty and actress Emma Watson was released. At time of recording the video of the interview on YouTube has almost 3 million views and over 6000 comments. It’s the only podcast she’s ever done and her first long form conversation in over five years. They get pretty candid about her recent driving ban for speeding, her complicated relationship to film promotion, sensitivity, fame, if she’ll return to acting, Harry Potter- all sorts. But the part that is hitting the headlines most this week is a part towards the end of the interview where Jay asks her about JK Rowling and the relationship between the two women. We get into it. And lastly, Christiana Mbakwe Medina for her Substack, Pop Syllabus, writes, ‘Right now, Ozempic and other GLP-1s are rapidly democratizing thinness, making it attainable to whomever can afford it. As a result, the value of thinness as a status symbol is diminishing, and I believe we’re about to enter a significant shift. Be prepared for The Sculpt'. Are we about to enter into a new body trend craze?

    Everything In Conversation: Is Cultural Snobbery Good?

    Happy Wednesday EICollective! This week we're getting high and mighty in a conversation about whether making elitist attitudes unfashionable has actually harmed the culture. As Rachel Aroesti investigated in a recent piece for The Guardian... in an era of AI slop and mid TV, is it time for cultural snobbery to make a comeback?  With your help we puzzle over issues of misogyny and classism in assigning labels of high and low brow, if phone addictions are making us less interested in good art and whether it's up to us to challenge each other to get more intellectual and curious in what we consume. As always thank you so much for listening and sending us your thoughts. If you'd like to take part in future episodes just follow us on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod See you Friday for more!

    Everything In Conversation: Cute Debt

    Pop your card into the EIC-ATM and get ready to withdraw some content- because this week we're talking all about the rise of "cute debt" and whether buy-now-pay-later schemes are really targeting the girls. In a recent piece for The Atlantic, Annie Joy Williams explores how female shoppers are being heavily marketed to by the likes of Klarna and Afterpay, who are drawing on fun, girly aesthetics to sell their services and make debt seem fun, silly and generally NBD! We share our own experiences and hear from you at home about why so many of us are falling victim to a splash of pink, a celeb endorsement and a cute Y2K moment. Thank you for all of your messages this week! If you're really in the mood to spoil us, how about a five star rating wherever you're listening right now? Thank you so much!

    Modern Friendship : A Deep Dive, Part Two

    Happy Friday to all who celebrate. This week we’re serving up part two of our two part friendship deep dive, first discussing affirmation culture and how avoiding tough love can rob us of growth within relationships. Then we get into the meat of modern friendship and how influencers can further the idea that we're all better alone. Finally we ask whether we think more people should consider reinventing the family pursuing a platonic marriage. Thank you to Cue Podcasts for production. We hope you enjoy, thank you for listening O,R,B xx -------- Is Affirmation Culture Sabotaging Our Friendships and Ourselves?

    Everything In Conversation: The Bop House & The Rise of 'Barely Legal' Fantasy

    Kisses from EIC – we're back with a spicy episode... The Bop House is a content creator house made up of OnlyFans creators with 3.6m subscribers on TikTok. They’ve had tonnes of controversy because lots of the creators who range from 18-24 exaggerate their baby faces and present what some say is a barely legal fantasy with braces they don't need, girly voices and cartoon PJs. Are they the natural amalgamation of reality TV, TikTok virality and online sex work? What is their impact? Thank you for all of your messages! Would you consider giving us a rating pleeeease?
