    Everything In Conversation: Cute Debt

    Pop your card into the EIC-ATM and get ready to withdraw some content- because this week we're talking all about the rise of "cute debt" and whether buy-now-pay-later schemes are really targeting the girls. In a recent piece for The Atlantic, Annie Joy Williams explores how female shoppers are being heavily marketed to by the likes of Klarna and Afterpay, who are drawing on fun, girly aesthetics to sell their services and make debt seem fun, silly and generally NBD! We share our own experiences and hear from you at home about why so many of us are falling victim to a splash of pink, a celeb endorsement and a cute Y2K moment. Thank you for all of your messages this week! If you're really in the mood to spoil us, how about a five star rating wherever you're listening right now? Thank you so much! Lots of love, R, O, B xo The Atlantic - The Rise of 'Cute Debt' The Guardian - Where did it all go wrong for Wonga? Emma Budget App Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Happy Friday to all who celebrate. This week we’re serving up part two of our two part friendship deep dive, first discussing affirmation culture and how avoiding tough love can rob us of growth within relationships. Then we get into the meat of modern friendship and how influencers can further the idea that we're all better alone.

    Everything In Conversation: The Bop House & The Rise of 'Barely Legal' Fantasy

    Kisses from EIC – we're back with a spicy episode... The Bop House is a content creator house made up of OnlyFans creators with 3.6m subscribers on TikTok. They’ve had tonnes of controversy because lots of the creators who range from 18-24 exaggerate their baby faces and present what some say is a barely legal fantasy with braces they don't need, girly voices and cartoon PJs. Are they the natural amalgamation of reality TV, TikTok virality and online sex work? What is their impact? Thank you for all of your messages! Would you consider giving us a rating pleeeease? Thank you, love O, B, R xo They Make Millions Acting Like Sexy Babies Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thank you to Cue Podcasts for production. We hope you enjoy, thank you for listening O,R,B xx I Thought Being The Low Maintenance Friend Would Set Me Free.

    Everything In Conversation: Dark Romance

    Hello QTS, we're back with a not very cute subject, let's go to the dark side... Last week we read a piece on Substack called “We Have To Talk about Dark Romance” by Stella Tate, in which she grapples with a problematic literary genre. Dark romance, for anyone not aware, is a subgenre of romance literature, that features characters, relationships and dynamics that are typically taboo in other genres, often involving violence, obsession, stalking, emotional abuse and sexual assault. Basically the romantic heroes of these stories would often be the clear villain in any other story. And as Stella writes: “from the perspective of a highly non-judgmental book lover (or at least that’s who i aim to be), dark romance is mainly a romance that takes the shape of a horror story, or possibly a horrific tale dressed up as a romance. dark romance is a genre bender, with elements of romance and horror, not always in equal parts… dark romance doesn’t seem to be one thing or another; instead, it seems to me like a wide spectrum, where you can find all 50 shades of grey and more, from the lighter vampire love stories to the harder to swallow stalker romances with sexual abuse and all sorts of triggering content.”  We delve in! We Have To Talk About Dark Romance Thanks so much for all of your takes and comments on this topic, we love being in conversation with you all! O,R,B xx Hosted on Acast.

    Everything In Conversation: The Cost Of Community

    Hello EIC heads, happy Wednesday, happy September, and happy Everything In Conversation day... Earlier this month Niamh Duffy wrote a Substack titled, ‘I’ve protected my peace so much, I’ve accidentally made myself boring.’ She writes, ‘I’ve been so busy safeguarding my mental health and pruning my life of stress that I seem to have pruned myself of… fun. I’m not even sure I remember how to have it anymore. Not the kind of fun that comes with bubble baths and to-do lists and reading about attachment styles, but the messy, impulsive, human sort that happens at 2am over chips and existential conversations with someone you met that evening.’ In it she details how in the pursuit of self care, boundaries and rest, she has lost a vital part of herself, her sense of spontaneity, community and perhaps, humanity?  We seem to value right now, above all else, performance, productivity and ‘health’, but at what cost? Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and takes on this topic, we love being in conversation with you all! O,R,B xxx I’ve protected my peace so much, I’ve accidentally made myself boring.
