    Do words of the year even mean anything?

    Hey! On today’s show: ‘brain rot’, ‘enshittification’, ‘polarisation’, ‘demure’, ‘manifest’ - what do all these words have in common? Well, they’ve each been tapped as candidates for 2024’s Word of the Year. These are the words that, allegedly, encapsulate the vibe and cultural mood of 2024. But do these words actually… mean anything? This week, Zara recommended The Gentleman From Peru by Andre Aciman. Mich recommended reading ‘How Does My Divorce Make You Feel?’ in The Cut.

    The friends we keep...

    Hey there!  Today on the show: as more and more allegations against Diddy come to light, it appears that his powerful friends are not immune either. Jay Z, a longtime friend of Diddy’s, has just been accused of rape; and whether or not he’s guilty, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s been friends with Diddy for decades. So we want to know: how much can you judge a person’s character based on the friends they keep?  This episode of Shameless is brought to you by SIX The Musical, which is heading back to Sydney!  On today’s show, Mich recommended Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie: Queens of the 2000s from Call Her Daddy. You can also listen to The Daily’s interview with Alex Cooper here. You can read “Get in loser, we’re cancelling the assassin for thinking The Anxious Generation was good” from Smart, Dumb Stuff here.

    Why we closed our Facebook group

    Welcome to our December bonus ep! You know how it goes - every month one of us brings something to the table to unpack. This month, both Mich and Zara wanted to chat about the Shameless Facebook group - the good, the bad, and the time Mich got cancelled for showering twice a day. Oh boy… Your Shameless hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1). This episode was audio-produced by Eilish Gilligan. Thanks so much for being part of this cosy little (ahem, VIP) nook. We’re extremely grateful that this corner of Shameless exists. See you in 2025, baby!

    The "sad, beige" influencer lawsuit

    Well hello! Today on the show, we’re discussing the "sad, beige" influencer rivalry that has now escalated into a full-blown lawsuit. Can the legal system protect the ‘vibe’ of a creator?
