Stop Pretending Beauty Trends Aren't About Money!

After a couple of weeks off, James and Robert are back with a brand new episode of The Double Cleanse… and this episode has a LOT of call outs. We kick off by calling out magazine awards (which publication’s “Best of Beauty” awards might actually be a paid sponsorship?) plus Robert has some insight into when he won one of these “prestigious” awards. The real conversation gets messy when James and Robert tackle the elephant in the room: expensive beauty trends and the "clean girl aesthetic" that's really just code for "looking rich". They discuss how modern beauty trends - minimalism, old money vibes, clean makeup - are all designed to make you look like you have disposable income, don't need to work hard, and probably own a horse. The twins get passionate about people's right to buy nice things regardless of their financial situation, sharing personal stories about choosing between eating and buying foundation when they first moved to London. They're also calling out influencers who are hypocritical: reviewing drugstore products for "relatable content" in one video, then unboxing their first Birkin in the next. The key question? Are these beauty trends actually about self-care, or are they just about looking rich? Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of The Double Cleanse every Monday!

132 - Joy Woods on The Notebook, Little Shop of Horrors & Broadway

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber is joined by the magnetic and completely irresistible Joy Woods! Joy Woods is one of the most exciting performers on Broadway and the West End right now. Having starred in the Broadway productions of Six The Musical, The Notebook and the most recent Gypsy revival (for which she was nominated for a Tony and GRAMMY Award), she recently made her West End debut as Sally Bowles in Cabaret. Joy has earned rave reviews and is undoubtedly one of theatre's brightest starts. On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Joy talk about the unexpected journey to saying yes to London after initially turning it down, being the first Black woman to play Louise in Gypsy on Broadway and the masterclass she received every single night watching Audra McDonald give 300% from the wings. There are also stories from The Notebook, Little Shop of Horrors and Six — including the song Joy has sworn never to sing again, the World Cup summer that turned her into a football fan and her journey from mock college audition to role originator.

131 - Adam Cooper on Royal Ballet, Billy Elliot & Broadway

We're joined by a true legend of stage and screen and an undeniable multi-hyphenate - Adam Cooper! Having started his career creating one of the most iconic moments in dance history - playing the Swam in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, a role that earned him a Tony nomination, Adam has gone on to star in the film adaptation of Billy Elliot as well as the West End productions of Singin' In The Rain and Guys and Dolls. Adam has also starred in the UK tour of A Chorus Line as well as Grand Hotel at the Donmar Warehouse, for which he received an Olivier nomination for Best Choreography. He currently plays Callahan in the UK Tour of Legally Blonde. On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Adam talk about the brutal reality of eight years in the Royal Ballet, the extraordinary Broadway adventure of Swan Lake, his love for Billy Elliot and his role in the film adaptation of Billy Elliot. There are also stories from Guys and Dolls, beer with Jack Nicholson in his dressing room on Broadway and the accidental Mel Brooks moment on stage in Dublin that left both of them completely unable to look each other in the eye.

why being too self-aware is exhausting

we're going deep and vulnerable on this episode of live a little, as nikki is saying goodbye to a therapist and is exploring what it means to graduate from therapy and trust yourself. nikki has just finished a year and five months of therapy - 30 to 60 sessions with someone who genuinely got her, after years of bad therapists and therapy at hospital (the place that gave her trauma in the first place). the thing is, she did the work. she got better. she's in a stable place. and now she has to leave. nikki gets brutally honest about why she went into therapy, the moment she realised that therapy isn't the full antidote and the year she's spent analysing herself microscopically, learning why she reacts certain ways, where her trauma sits, what triggers her hypervigilance. nikki's closing thought is powerful: you don't need to understand every feeling before you're allowed to feel it. if you've ever struggled to say goodbye to something that helped you, felt afraid of being without support, wondered if you're self-aware to the point of self-sabotage, or questioned whether you're enough to rely on yourself... this one's for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!

The Bongo Dynasty's Rise & Fall

Gabon should be a model of prosperity—yet its oil riches were siphoned into offshore mansions and luxury fleets by the Bongo kleptocracy. From Omar Bongo’s 42-year dynasty to Ali Bongo’s rigged re-elections and the 2023 palace coup, we trace how pipedreams of development gave way to pipelines—and ask whether Brice Oligui Nguema can finally reclaim Gabon’s stolen promise. Spend Abacha's Loot Sources: Gabon’s Bongo family enriched itself over 56 years of kleptocratic rule, spreading its wealth across the world Has Gabon’s ‘all-powerful’ Bongo dynasty really lost its 55-year grip?
