The decline in marriage rates, Met Gala moments, Jan Brierton

Fifty-year-old mother of two and stylist Jan Brierton became an accidental poet during the pandemic and has since become a regular on The Women’s Podcast. Her bestselling collections, What Day Is It? and Everybody is a Poem, struck a chord with readers, while a recent appearance on The Tommy Tiernan Show introduced her to an even wider audience. Fresh from a UK tour with Henry Normal, Brierton joined podcast host Róisín Ingle to talk about life on the road, caring for her father and the unexpected joy of intergenerational friendships. She is now bringing her trademark wit and warmth to stages across Belfast, Galway, Limerick, Cork and Dublin. More details are available on her Instagram page, @jbgoodtome. Also on this week’s episode, Jennifer O’Connell, Opinion Editor at The Irish Times, returned to discuss some of the stories of the week including the continuing decline in marriage rates in Ireland. New data from the Central Statistics Office shows that Catholic weddings have more than halved over the past decade, with overall marriage numbers also falling despite increases in civil and humanist ceremonies. Jennifer and Róisín explore what is driving the shift. They also discuss the latest chapter in the long-running legal dispute involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni and share their favourite looks from this year’s controversial, Bezos-sponsored Met Gala.

Ozempic Face, Jeff Bezos' Hedges & 22 Very Naughty Monks

On this week's Vogue & Amber: Vogue has disturbing news about brother Alzo's employment history, so Vogue and Amber ring their mum Sandra to confront her about it and it goes absolutely nowhere. And, the baby daddy party has been put on ice, for now. Plus, a man held a hairdryer against a temperature gauge to win a bet, 22 monks got caught smuggling 110 kilos of cannabis through an airport, and a millionaire spending rabbit hole includes Drake's $400k mattress, Dr. Dre's daily fresh Air Forces and Jeff Bezos paying a thousand dollars a month in hedge fines because he simply does not care. Also, a listener has a terrible painting hanging in her house and the lie has gone too far to stop now.

GLP-1s and the ‘Wild West’ of Wellness

Here’s a shocking number: One out of eight American adults is taking a GLP-1, like Ozempic or Zepbound, according to a KFF poll. GLP-1s are the biggest pharmaceutical story since antidepressants. But there’s still so much we don’t know. “We’re only at the beginning of what’s been called this Ozempic era,” the journalist Julia Belluz told me. “I think we’re really just at the beginning of discovering the benefits and the harms of these drugs.” These discoveries begin in the research but are also expanding into how we think about our punishing beauty standards and the blurry lines between illness and wellness. Belluz is a contributing Opinion writer and the author, with Kevin Hall, of “Food Intelligence.” She’s one of the best health and science reporters I know and has been reporting on GLP-1s for years. In this conversation, Belluz takes me through what we know — and don’t know — about GLP-1s, their unexpected uses, how they are clashing with a culture obsessed with thinness and looksmaxxing, and whether everyone should be on them. Mentioned: “The obesity pay gap is worse than previously thought” by The Economist “The Great Ozempic Experiment” by Julia Belluz Book Recommendations: Behave by Robert M.

CHRIS APPLETON: Bullies Spat on Me at School. Now I’m Kim Kardashian’s Most Trusted Hair Stylist

Chris Appleton has built a reputation as one of the world’s most trusted celebrity hair stylists. From Kim Kardashian and JLo to Ariana Grande and Christina Aguilera, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. It’s a world away from his upbringing in Leicester.

In this episode, Chris shares: Why he cried after styling JLO’s hair for the Super BowlBeing spat on and bullied at school for being different How he’s learned to accept himself and love who he is Why his marriage to Euphoria star Lukas Gage didn’t workThe celebrity he wants to style next Chris is a powerful reminder that the people who seem to have it all figured out are often the ones who've had to fight the hardest to get there.

Rosebud Live at Riverside Studios - Sir Lenny Henry

Our guest today is Sir Lenny Henry, the pioneering comedian, entertainer, actor and campaigner, who tells Gyles his story, and it's an impressive one: from the streets of Dudley in the West Midlands, to winning New Faces at only 16 years old, to an acclaimed run as Othello at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Lenny brings his childhood home to life - his mother, a gifted preacher who came to the UK from Jamaica, and whose formidable personality was a huge influence on Lenny. His dads - Winston and Uncle Albert. The "tall food". The park. The mood board on his bedroom wall. This is an evocative, fascinating and very funny edition of Rosebud. This episode was recorded at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith in London, in front of a live audience, as part of Riverside's 50th birthday celebrations. Lenny Henry is on tour nationwide, tickets are available here. Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube here. Join The Rosebud Family here. And visit our website here. Hosted on Acast.
