    Ageing & The Pursuit of Youth (Rerelease)

    Hello EICucumbers, we have another gem from the archive. This is the accompanying episode to our double beauty special from 2024. Has much changed in two years? It feels like the pursuit of youth has only become more ubiquitous since then, but rather than replacing thinness, that old chestnut has also come back to haunt us all. Can you believe the impact of GLP-1s is just two years? It's quite something... We'd love to hear your thoughts on the themes that still ring true and the ones that have already evolved since this first came out. We're very naughty and still check DMs and Spotify comments despite being OOO, so please do keep messaging in 3 Love O,R,B xxxx — THE GUARDIAN: A quick reminder ...

    Celibacy, 4B & Our Hot Girl Summers

    Hello EICorn-Cobs! Happy hump day! As we mentioned last week we're on a rare (but needed!) summer break from the podcast, and using this time to dig into the archive and rerelease some gems from 2024. This week is a return to a deep dive episode where we talked about our previous Hot Girl summers and the impact of the cost of living crisis on romance. How are we meant to find the loves of our lives when a second round of drinks is out of budget? Plus, we discuss a rise in celibacy. If Julia Fox and Lenny Kravitz are doing it, maybe we should be doing it too? And finally we’re asking the important questions about dating apps. Are they terrible? Why are they terrible? And what can we do to stop them making *us* feel terrible?  Thanks so much for listening/re-listening! We're an indie pod which means that the three of us do absolutely everything for the show from picking topics, researching, writing show notes, emailing guests, chatting with you lovely listeners, editing, producing, sound mixing... the lot! And it's because of you all that it's possible. We'll be back with brand new eps on the 19th of August!

    Makeovers & Glow Ups In Pop Culture (Rerelease)

    EIChow Chows, we have a lovely throwback episode for you. Real EIC stans will remember we did our first-ever double episode on beauty two years ago! From Andy’s bangs in The Devil Wears Prada to Trinny and Susannah, glow ups were the most exciting film trope millennials like us grew up on. But how does it feel when we're all now looking at our reflections like a before image thanks to social media, the rise of cosmetic work and celeb transformations off the screen? We'd love to hear your thoughts on the ep. We're all naughty and check DM's and Spotify comments, even when we're OOO. Love O,R,B xxxxx DAZED: Snog Marry Avoid?

    Everything In Conversation: Is Instagram Doomed?

    Hello EIContent-obsessives – would you pay £3.19 a month to see how many times your crush viewed your story? Well, now you can! Introducing Instagram Plus! Instagram Plus is the new optional monthly subscription that unlocks exclusive customisation and insights on the platform, including 48-hour story extensions, anonymous story viewing, and rewatch counts. Instagram claims this is to give us users "more of what we love". But in a piece for The Atlantic, Annie Joy Williams writes: "If what you love is the ability to more conveniently keep tabs on crushes or enemies, by which I mean torture yourself, then Instagram nailed it. Instagram Plus is social media’s newest low—a company preying on our most pathetic impulses, for the price of a small iced coffee." This week's extra episode dives into what users really want from the app, tech bros' fixation with offering a poor product and the future of living life online. Beth-stans – we're sorry, our beloved was on hol this week, so Oenone and Ruchira took this one on. Also, the group are taking a well-deserved two-week break to rest and come back stronger. In the meantime, we'll be sharing some old fave episodes to sink your teeth into. See you very soon 3 love O, R, B xxx ----- Instagram Plus Is a New Low Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp to trial premium subscriptions ‘Let it be their undoing’: Instagram Plus is rolling out globally, and users aren’t happy about the idea of paying for an app that’s always been free Hosted on Acast.

    The Odyssey, Cancelled Women & Caroline Calloway's Return

    Hello EIC, this week we're taking a look at the return of two cancelled women from pop culture. Also we are very sorry for any audio issues. We were blessed to be recording IRL at the Homewood Hotel and Spa (tysm to them!). Influencer, author and infamous 'scammer' Caroline Calloway made a public return to discourse last week with a new piece detailing her experience on Ozempic. Known for flower crowns, long IG captions in the 2010s and a viral creativity workshop where she charged hundreds of dollars for sharing her own posts, Calloway's essay sparked a big discussion around GLP-1s and the usefulness of weight loss transparency in 2026. Next up, Olivia Wilde is back on a press run, and this one looks very different to her last. The director and actor has risen from the discourse ashes after Don't Worry Darling to critical fanfare and high praise for her latest film, The Invite. We take a look at her recent interviews, the film and the wildly (sorry) different response to her and her talent this time round. Thank you so much for listening to us this week! Love O,R,B xxx ---- This week Ruchira and Oenone loved The Odyssey. Beth loved The Five-Star Weekend, and Ruchira recommended Hunting Wives.

    Everything In Conversation: Is Being A Bitch The Cure To Chronic Illness?

    Hello EIClique! This week we're asking, is the secret to good health, being a bitch, actually? In a piece titled ‘“Be a bitch or develop an autoimmune disease”, Sheya Kurian writes, ‘The internet’s latest health theory isn’t backed by science, but its popularity reveals how many women are exhausted by their own pleasantness’. The theory is everywhere on TikTok and Instagram, posts and testimonials racking up hundreds of thousands of views argue that years of people-pleasing, conflict-avoidance, and suppressed anger eventually show up in the body as eczema, hives, flare-ups, you name it.  As Kurian writes in the piece, no doctor is prescribing "stand up to your annoying coworker" as treatment, however, there's obviously a reason that so many women resonate with it as an idea: research does link chronic stress to inflammation and immune dysregulation, and women are disproportionately affected by autoimmune disease.  What do we make of this latest internet craze? Listen and find out! We hope you enjoy, as always please rate, review, follow & share the show :) love ya, O,R,B. xxoxoxoxo “Be a bitch or develop an autoimmune disease” has a CTA for women Hosted on Acast.

    Em Rata x Postpartum Sex, Co-Parenting With ChatGPT & Choosing Your "Mum Aesthetic"

    Hello beloved EIChilden! This week we're your committed content matriarchs, bringing you a special episode all about mothers, mothering and motherhood. We start the episode discussing a recent essay in The Cut by actor, model and author Emily Ratajkowski where she explores her post-baby/post-divorce sex life. Is her tale of degradation, millennial men and going from dimly lit bar to baby bedtime aspirational or just plain un-relatable? Then we move on to the pressure to subscribe to a particular mum-aesthetic- butter moms, analogue moms, tuscan moms, gentle moms... the list goes on and only gets more exhausting. Is this slop or a way for women to retain identity after giving birth? And finally- could ChatGPT actually be an effective coparent? Female business-owners and AI companies are banking on it, investing big in AI technology that helps mums keep on top of the mental load of parenting. We take a closer and more critical look. Thank you so much for listening! We'll see you as always next Wednesday! O, R, B x Oenone's favourite depiction of motherhood is in The Gilmore Girls, Ruchira's a sucker for Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) and Never Have I Ever and Beth thinks motherhood is best depicted in Lady Bird (2017) and The Babadook (2014).
