    What the $42 SHEIN dress really means

    After an ode to 5-minute voice notes and discussing the ethics of giving birth to a personal shopper, Charlie and Abi talk about the really important things: the complete overhaul of UK Bank Holidays. Why was the Secretary of War’s wife wearing a SHEIN dress when she definitely has Prada money? We discuss the true meaning of wearing the bottom of the barrel of fast fashion. Plus, off the back of Sharron Davies’ legal threat against park run, we consider what has shaped a generation of women to be… generally not very nice.  Subscribe to us on Substack at thelistenpodcast.substack.com You can find us at @thelisten_, @itsabigib, @itscharlieperry and leave your comments on Spotify x This is an Astrid podcast.

    I Just Want a Dumb Job

    This week, Charlie and Abi share the rundown of the latest books, TV and films they’ve been devouring… and mainly not enjoying.  Abi discusses the struggles of sick day streaming and the absolutely bizarre choice of film she chose from her sickbed; Charlie shares her review of Speak No Evil and James McAvoy’s interesting acting choices and Abi shares her review of the much-anticipated adult novel from Jacqueline Wilson.  Plus, the girls discuss the notion of ‘dumb jobs’ and selling out, why we’re still trying to prove ourselves with our job titles and how the pressure of failure has shaped our careers.  You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week.  This is an Astrid podcast.

    The Death of Concert Etiquette

    After Charlie is done yelling at her smart speaker, on the agenda this week are misleading trailers and the dramatic change in gig etiquette. Abi and Charlie discuss the new Leigh Miller biopic starring Kate Winslet, and how its own trailer has done it so dirty. Plus, we dive into the tweets that have lifted the lid on the insane world of gigs in 2024, the tradition that one Gen-Z had deemed “a Tik Tok trend” and what that says about our supposedly most savvy generation.  You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week.  This is an Astrid podcast.

    How to stay hot in your old age

    We start this week with people lazily posing at monuments and a review of the book of the summer, Big Swiss.  Charlie and Abi go on to discuss the audacity of Aaron Taylor-Johnson going out in public without his wedding ring, The Cut’s fascinating look in the money spent by women to look hot into their 60s and why ultimately we plan on being wrinkly but glamorous old women. Of course, we also have our Cult of the Week which is, frankly, a food trend that must die.  You can find us at @thelisten_, @abigib, @imcharlieperry and send us a love letter here for us to read out next week.  This is an Astrid podcast.
