WAGs, explained: The World Cup’s most watched women

This week, we’re diving into the glamorous, chaotic and deeply misunderstood world of WAGs. What exactly is a WAG? Technically, it stands for “wives and girlfriends” of athletes. But culturally, it has come to mean so much more: public scrutiny, reality TV drama, cheating scandals, courtroom battles, and women who often become more famous than the men they’re attached to. In this episode, we trace the rise of WAG culture from its early-2000s explosion, when Victoria Beckham became the undisputed queen of the genre, to the double standards and why these women are mocked for loving fame but punished when they try to build careers of their own; why athletes’ partners are treated like accessories until they become too visible; and how social media has changed the game entirely. It's an extra juicy one. 📚 For further reading:When England's WAGS went wild in Baden-BadenWho Is ‘Wagatha Christie’?

Stop Perfectionism With This Game-Changing Reframe On Success | I’m The Problem, It’s Me

Today’s adulting confession: I have a toxic relationship with success. Welcome back to another episode of “I’m the problem, it’s me,” where I call b******t on myself for the things I’m getting wrong, so we can all learn from the struggle. I’ve always struggled with perfectionism and getting caught up in an endless cycle where no success is ever enough, I’m constantly dissatisfied with my achievements, and always in search of something I can’t grasp because I’m forever moving the benchmark of what success should be. I’ve learned that the antidote to this unachievable idea of success is (spoiler alert!) learning to embrace the journey, and find fulfillment in the doing. Today’s episode dives into the game-changing reframe my amazing career coach gave me to help me redefine success and overcome my limiting beliefs. If you’re feeling stuck, this is a must-listen tool that has stopped everyone I’ve shared it with in their tracks. Tune in to hear more about: Perfectionism and defining your self-worth Feeling dissatisfied with your successes How my toxic ideas of success have held me back The a-ha advice that reframed my idea of successHow I now define failure Overcoming comparison and procrastination The power of self-accountability for confidence and self-efficacy You’ve got this!

Canada's baby slump: why we aren't having kids

A recent report from Statistics Canada says our country hit a new fertility rating law in 2024, with over half of women aged 20 to 49 childless. Without immigration, the rate needed to maintain a steady population is 2.1 children per woman, but in Canada, it's now 1.25- below the 1.3 line that experts describe as "ultra-low". Host Catherine Jette is speaking with journalist Cara Stern from the Missing Middle Initiative, an organization dedicated to reviving Canada's middle class, about the many factors contributing to young people's decision not to have as many kids.

Justin Bieber: From teen idol to pop music survivor

The many scandals of Bachelor Nation

This week, we’re diving into the MOST DRAMATIC TV FRANCHISE EVER! That's right, it's an episode on Bachelor Nation. From The Bachelor and Bachelorette to spinoffs like Bachelor in Paradise, we discuss the reasons why this franchise is plagued by scandal. We also ask whether the producers actually invite it (it seems likely the answer is yes). After all, these are the people who cast Taylor Frankie Paul despite knowing about her 2023 brush with the law. From Kaitlyn Bristowe hooking up with Nick Viall before Fantasy Suites to the show's tendency to cast people who turn out to be predators, this episode dissects the dirty details of Bachelor Nation's most scandalous moments. We also offer our perspective on why so many self-identified feminists (including Allison Williams) love the show - and whether or not we should... 📚 For further reading:Bachelor Nation, Amy Kaufman, 2018Kaitlyn and Nick Hook Up Before Fantasy Suites, 2015 🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like:Real Housewives: inside reality TV's most powerful empire, with Laura HensleyThe wildest cheating scandals, from the Try Guys to the Wiggles, with Taylor Lindsay-NoelJeffrey Epstein: Everything you need to know 🔗 Once you're done listening, why not subscribe to our Patreon here?

Although she has managed to piss off just about every community at some point in time, she did create the seminal series Girls — so, does she deserve a return? Is she truly a voice of a generation? Especially with her recent new series Too Much, and her brand new memoir Famesick out this month?
