An affair, a baby, and the "better than average" effect

MONDAY ANALYSIS: Coming up on today’s show: Lauren Cowell, Simon Cowell’s fiancée, has appeared on a podcast, telling the listeners that she has ‘forgiven herself’ for cheating on her husband and falling pregnant with his friend, Simon Cowell, back in 2013. It sparked some big questions for us; why do we feel this eternal gravitational pull to cheating stories? And what is there to learn about human behaviour from them?

What happened to the intro song?

11 June

theirisroomforimprovement

I’m loving the new format of the show this year! I also listen to every episode but am feeling lost without the intro ‘ooo ohh ‘ song. It used to really make it feel like a seamless introduction. It feels a bit shocking just jumping straight into talking. Plus I like the joke that Zara sang it. Maybe Gill can write a shameless song?
So funny and entertaining

I absolutely love this podcast, the hosts both are so engaging and insightful, always listen to loosen up and just chill. Basically my version of keeping up with the news when I don’t have time to actually catch up.
Love you Gil

Love Mich and Zaz, both amazing host and Shmaless will always be #1, been here for every ep since the start. Gil is a breath of fresh air. Lowkey glad to has some vegan representation from someone so lovely and levelheaded and kind in their approach.
Disappointing

Ashteaker

Really disappointing. Judging people about their marriages and claiming theirs are “perfect” and saying marriage shouldn’t be hard. False information or complete denial of reality. People with platforms like this should be honest and real.
