    What Does Self Care Really Mean? - Episode 41

    As the world starts to open back up, self care is more necessary than ever. And nobody is utilising that more than fast fashion brands... This episode we explore what self care as a concept really means and how we can differentiate healing practices that allows us to feel more grounded and the empty top tips that companies try and sell us! Kika talks about how cooking spaghetti has taught her more about her chakras than any awakening ever could, while Lucy takes on the big brands trying to weaponise our mental health to sell 'little black dresses.'

    Investigating the Trial of Alex Salmond - Episode 40

    It's the first instalment of our new series where we investigate stories of people in the spotlight who have committed or allegedly committed crimes behind the curtain of fame/power. This episode we talk about the sexual misconduct trial of Alex Salmond, former first minister of Scotland and leader of the SNP. Although he was found not guilty, there is a lot to unpack within this story and how the trial unfolded. So many people have come out to corroborate the idea that Salmond has acted inappropriately with women throughout his career so is he completely innocent or did he just get away with it? All allegations in this episode are of course alleged and we are fully aware Alex Salmond was found not guilty. We just wish to look into the trial and also discuss the wider concept of sexual misconduct trials and the judicial system. As always follow us on Instagram/Facebook @deadtalkpodcast

    The World of Influencers with Emma Gorman - Episode 39

    This episode we continue on our discussion about social media by discussing the world of influencers. How much responsibility do influencers have on their impact of their followers? Are influencers to blame for our society's fixation on looking 'perfect' ? We have no idea, but we're going to ask Emma Gorman and hold her responsible for all statements made in this episode!

    Social Media and Influencer Culture: Is it Toxic? - Episode 38

    This episode we investigate the rise of social media and how it developed from the innocent platform of sharing pictures and content, to a tool of marketing and influence in society and culture. How much autonomy do we have over social media and its affect on us? I can put the phone down whenever I want, man... We dissect the culture that has been built around social media and whether we think it's more detrimental than it is beneficial. Can you build and tailor a feed that has a positive impact on your mental health or is it best to go cold turkey all together?

    Sarah Everard and Men's Role in Stopping Violence Against Women - Episode 37

    tw// this episode discusses themes surrounding sexual assault/violence against women We are bringing you this extremely important episode in collaboration with @tomstotes to raise money for Women's Aid and continue the discourse around violence against women. We discuss the eruption of anger and conversation that has come out of the recent and tragic murder of Sarah Everard. We dissect society's perception of this gender issue and whether it's seen as one gender's burden to carry more than the others. Lucy shares her experience with sexual assault and how men's attitudes/language/behaviour not only have impact but are direct expressions of a wider disregard to women as a whole.   For anyone who feels as though they may be in a situation/relationship where they are unsafe or need guidance please visit the women's aid website for resources.  You can follow us on Instagram/Facebook @deadtalkpodcast for more info/resources and to get involved in this conversation.

    Meghan Markle: Institutional Racism and The Power of the Press - Episode 36

    It's the highly anticipated Dead Talk vs The Monarchy rematch! Just kidding... (unless?) This episode we dissect the, now viral, interview with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Oprah surrounding their departure from the royal family and the racial discrimination Meghan received from both the institution and the British press. We discuss the way that racism is expressed in the British public and the methods it uses to disguise itself as 'part of the job.' What power does the British monarchy have left? And is there still a place for this archaic institution in modern Britian? Let us know what you think on instagram of Facebook @deadtalkpodcast and make sure to suggest any future episode ideas you have!

Lucy opens up about her struggles with severe depression and how alcohol has affected it. We discuss the journey of a healthy balance between having a good time and the need to 'take it too far.' We're not there yet by the way...  As always follow us on Instagram and Facebook to be part of the conversation surrounding topics and suggesting episode ideas! @deadtalkpodcast

We want to give Dead Talk the opportunity to be a platform that not only analyses the atrocities of true crime but also the elusive and mysterious aspects of being human and dissecting our own experiences.

As always give the episode a share (especially with our sexy new cover art, that's irresistible) and follow us on Instagram/Facebook @deadtalkpodcast.
