Everything Is Content We Are Grape

Today on Everything Is Content - we dive into the It Girl of the moment - Nicola Coughlan. She’s the latest Skims girlie and we are so here for it! When’s it our turn, Kim?! We also take a dive into the world of street interviews. What happens when a voxpop goes viral, and are there moral implications we should consider? We also discuss Louise Thompson’s interview with her former Made In Chelsea co-star Jamie Laing, where she opens up about some of the traumas she has faced around motherhood and birth.
Our conversation about Louise Thompson mentions birth loss, trauma and PTSD - so please tread carefully if you find any of those topics upsetting.

We’re everywhere, we’re so Julia! This week on Everything Is Content - we’re discussing what some critics are calling the pop album of the year - Brat. Charli XCX has given the 30-something girlies the green light to go out partying… will we take her up on the offer? 
Then we’re going to discuss the Channel 4 adaptation of Candice Carty-Williams’ mega bestseller Queenie - does it meet up to our expectations? And lastly - we’ve taken the bait and we’re going to talk about the big argument on X this week - is it okay to be naked in front of your children?

Today, Oenone is in conversation with actress, playwright and activist Danai Gurira. Danai plays the beloved character Michonne in one of our favourite shows - The Walking Dead. 
The Walking Dead is back with a new spinoff series - The Ones Who Live - which sees Michonne reunite with her husband Rick after they were separated in a post-zombie-apocalyptic world. We find out what it’s like to portray a love story in such a high stakes world, why Danai thinks The Walking Dead captured audiences from its very first pilot, and her experiences as an executive producer, lead and writer on the series.
All episodes of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live are available exclusively on Sky and Now. You can binge all 11 series of The Walking Dead there as well!

Oenone’s back on good old fashioned British soil so we’re all back in the studio together again, and boy does it feel good! Join the girlies for the biggest debate we have probably ever had on the podcast… is the term ‘hot rodent’ a compliment or is it derogatory? We also dive into some of the nuance behind the return of Loaded - are we going to welcome erotica in back into our newsagents with open arms? We also get into bookworm mode to discuss one of the most hotly anticipated books of the summer - Coco Mellors’ second book Blue Sisters. Don't worry - the conversation is spoiler free for anyone who hasn't read the book yet!
Wanna chat? We’re on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod. We love having a natter over there so do let us know if there is anything you’d like us to cover, or if you have an opinion you think we should know!

Today we’ll be taking a deep dive into the fountain of youth for our second beauty special - and this time we’re talking about ageing. Has looking become replaced being skinny as the toxic beauty standard of today? Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone as we discuss some of the gorgeous women who have chosen to age visibly in the public eye, how anti-ageing pressure can impact men as well as women and how the pressure to look young has trickled down to primary school age children. 
If you have anything you’d like to add to the conversion - you can get in touch with us on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod. We’d love to hear from you. 
Last week we did a special deep dive into makeovers - so get yourself back over there to listen to that if you haven’t heard it yet!

Get ready for a glow-up because for the next two weeks on Everything Is Content we’re taking a deep dive into the world of beauty. 
In today’s episode we’re looking at makeovers - from Andy’s bangs in The Devil Wears Prada to Trinny and Susannah, we grew up in the peak era of makeovers on TV and film. Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone to discuss the effect that cultural representations of makeovers have had on us - and how makeover and glow up culture is manifesting itself today. 
We’d love to hear what you think about the - sometimes ugly - world of beauty. Chat to us over on @everythingiscontentpod on Instagram.
Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss our second beauty special next week - where we will take a forensic look at the world of ageing.
