His name is... do we even need to go there?

G’day! On today’s show: our wrap of the Grammys - from the celebrity moments on the red carpet, to in the crowd and up on stage. Plus, singer Lola Young is a member of the nepo baby club… apparently, Lily Collins’ baby announcement has sparked a colossal conversation, Anna Paul has responded to Australia’s very own version of ‘Bye Sister’, and Reese Witherspoon’s feud with a fellow A-lister. Kind of. Well, not really… This week, Mich recommended watching American Manhunt: O. J Simpson on Netflix. Zara recommended this brownie recipe. This episode was audio-produced by Annabelle Lee.

That's that on imposter syndrome

Hey there! On today’s show: In an 8-and-a-half-minute-long TikTok video, Mikaela Testa has accused Anna Paul of some pretty gnarly things. And US Bachelor star Rachael Kirkconnell has gone on Call Her Daddy to talk all about that weird breakup post… We’re diving into all of it in a jam-packed Welcome To My Algorithm. And later: let’s unpack the viral clip of a successful woman saying she’s never had imposter syndrome: because for some reason, that’s apparently a bit controversial… Huge thanks to Elite Eleven for making this episode of Shameless possible.

We just need more parties

Hello! It’s our February installment of ShameMore, and this month, Zara’s Roman Empire is two articles that ran in The Atlantic last month. Both seemed to focus on a very similar thing: socialising and loneliness, and how so often we are rejecting the former and finding ourselves feeling the latter. Read ‘Americans Need to Party More’ by Ellen Cushing here, and ‘The Anti-Social Century’ by Derek Thompson here. Your Shameless hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1). This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee. 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 a fortnight!
