    SNL UK, Chappell Roan Vs. Kids & Shy Girl Cancelled

    Hello EICorgis! Happy Friday! This week we kick off by discussing a feel-good story involving seven courageous canines who went missing in China before returning home as a pack- led by a bossy little corgi called Da Pang (or Big Fatty). Then we get a first person report of Lily Allen's tour from Oenone. O is a huge fan, but does she think that the critics are right in calling Lily's 45 minutes of stage time a little... underwhelming? Then we're reviewing the show everyone was loving to hate (even before the first episode had aired)- SNL UK. Did we like it? Will we watch again? And do we think this could end up as enormous as the American OG? Up next, more Chappell Roan drama after she was slammed by former Chelsea footballer Jorginho. He claimed that she sent her security guard to scold his wife and 11 year old stepdaughter for bothering the singer at a hotel breakfast. Chappell (who has been banned from an upcoming festival in Rio de Janiero because of this drama) denies that this security guard was hers and says she never saw a mother or a child while having her breakfast. What do we make of it, why is Chappell such a target for these stories, and how the HELL is Jude Law involved? Finally: some literary drama after horror novelist Mia Ballard had her book Shy Girl pulled from shelves and cancelled after Hachette received claims it had been written with the help of AI. Mia denies these allegations and claims a third party editor was to blame. We discuss the book, the allegations and what it means for publishing that a partly AI book could potentially make it all the way to shelves before being detected. This week Oenone has been loving the group of seven dogs who travelled 17km home, Ruchira has been loving The L Word and Beth has been loving Ready or Not 2.

    Everything In Conversation: The Tragedy of Child Influencers

    Hello EIContent-obsessives, this week's deep-dive is on child influencers. Jessalyn Grace, now 18, used to post YouTube videos to her 1.5m online audience as a child. But the former influencer has recently shared the dark reality behind that smiley online veneer. Behind the scenes she was an over-worked, anxious child and the breadwinner of her family. In this new video, she's also accused her mother of financial, verbal and physical abuse and shared why she left her family home. Thank you so much for listening to this episode. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the Spotify comments and in our DMs – did you agree/disagree with our takes?

    Everything In Conversation: Is Friend Envy Dangerous?

    Happy Wednesday EICoveters! So a couple of weeks ago a video by TikTok user Farah Ammarah went viral, in which she describes envy in a friendship from the perspective of being the envious friend. She lists her former friend's car, job and neighbourhood as reasons she felt envious. She admitted that it made her feel bitter to see a friend doing so well. The video was seen millions of times and sparked a hot debate about whether there was something strange or toxic in her experience. Thousands of commenters lashed out- saying envy and jealousy in friendships shouldn't be possible and that anyone who feels it is dangerous to be around. Other people were kinder, reminding other viewers that it's a totally normal emotion, we all experience it (even if we pretend otherwise) and it only matters how you respond. So we asked you all what you made of the video and the response. What does envy/jealousy mean when it's directed to a friend? Is it a sign we should distance ourselves or lean into it and communicate? + we share our our jealousy/envy experiences and what they've taught us. Thanks so much for your thoughts, prayers, opinions and takes! Talk soon, O, R, B x Farrah's video Merriam Webster - Jealous vs. Envious Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Everything In Conversation: Can AI Cure Grief?

    Happy Wednesday EICorporeal beings. Last month, a BBC documentary posited the question, 'can AI ‘cure’ grief?', which got us wondering, should we want to cure grief? In AI confidential with Hannah Fry, Fry speaks to Justin Harrison, founder of You, Only Virtual. He ‘created the concept of the Versona after facing the dual challenges of his own near-fatal motorcycle accident and his mother's terminal cancer diagnosis. During this difficult period, he sought a way to preserve the unique bond he shared with his mother, leading to the development of YOV's Al technology. The Versona allows individuals to digitally recreate and continue conversations with their loved ones, even after they've passed, providing lasting emotional connection.’ Justin Harrison is not the only person working on this emerging technology, there are others such as Project December which is is an online AI platform created by video-game designer Jason Rohrer that allows users to simulate text-based conversations with specific personalities, including deceased individuals and, HereAfter AI which promises to ‘Preserve memories with an app that interviews you about your life. Then, let loved ones hear meaningful stories by chatting with the virtual you’. Is this something that we need? Is it something we want? Thank you so much for being so generous and sharing with us your experiences on such a sensitive topic, we're always so grateful. Love you! and hope you enjoy the episode O, R, B xxx AI Confidential with Hannah Fry The Dead Have Never Been This Talkative Alexis Ohanian thread The Year Of Magical Thinking - Joan Dixon The Obliterated Place Hosted on Acast.

    Influencers In War Zones, #QuitGPT & Jim Carrey's Clone

    Hello EICrooks and criminals! This week on the podcast we start by discussing the Industry finale- what did we think and what are we hoping for from its upcoming final season? Then we turn to global politics as influencers in Dubai chronicle missile strikes. Are crying videos from luxury apartments the ultimate in Western obliviousness or are we being too harsh? Plus: is OpenAI's sinister new deal with the U.S. Department of Defence enough to get people to #QuitGPT? In Hollywood news: Who cloned Jim Carrey? What's the story, where did these rumours come from and what does it say about our collective brain power that people are asking if it's true? We also discuss the audacity of 49-year old cinema-legend and generational hottie Maggie Gyllenhaal to visibly age. How have we gotten to a place in the culture where a woman NOT getting a $200K face-lift is the more controversial choice? Plus Beth and Oenone have some choice words for SNL. Thank you so much to Cue podcasts for the edit. We hope you enjoy! B, O, R x Oenone's been loving The Bride and Small Prophets.
