The Face Podcast The Face Magazine

This week’s episode feels a bit special. Firstly, because THE FACE’s new editorial team member Eni Subair makes her podcast debut. Eni tells us all about London Fashion Week June, where she enjoyed triumphant shows by Craig Green and Charles Jeffrey as well as the delicious spread at the British Fashion Council’s pub quiz. Our good friend Shaad D’Souza (who profiled Charli for THE FACE’s Spring cover story) also joins us to talk all things Brat: the sweat-soaked club beats, the rowdy DJ sets, the raw and provocative lyrics and where the album ranks in Charli’s impressive discography.Angels: if you like what you hear, please feel free to like this podcast or leave us a review.

There’s a brand new issue of THE FACE on sale. And so this week, we kick off with a chat about NewJeans, who’ve been shot by Petra Collins and declared “the most important girl group on the planet” in our new cover story. We also discuss Jamie xx’s 10 night marathon residency in a small London club, industry bores on the dance floor, the festival season’s messy start and predictions for the weather at Glastonbury. Matthew gets hyped for the programme at London’s June Fashion Week, which will feature guest curators and menswear-focussed activations spread across the city.

This week, we discuss a visit to No 10 Downing Street to witness Rishi Sunak’s big announcement (and check out his footwear). Cannes Film Festival gets underway with Francis Ford Coppola’s critically-panned epic Megalopolis, while A24 drops the trendy soundtrack for the teen horror flick I Saw the TV Glow. We also chat about the buzz around Billie’s queer anthem Lunch, the obvious highlight from her third album Hit Me Hard and Soft (which is not available in 11 different vinyl variations).

The Face Podcast is your weekly cultural digest – rounding up the stories that you should care about in film, fashion and music.

This week, we had no choice but to kick off with the film that everyone's obsessed with right now. And so we discuss the pristine fashion, the hard-hitting music and the simmering sexual tension in Luca Guadagnino's red-hot Tennis flick Challengers. Has Zendaya cemented herself as an era-defining actor? Later in the show, Davy and Jade weigh up new tunes by Nilüfer Yanya, Sabrina Carpenter and maybe the first contender for song of the summer, Love Me JeJe by Tems. Last but not least, we explore the backstory behind Corteiz's new jacket featuring a photograph by legendary grime photographer Simon Wheatley.

This week, we kick off with the show everyone’s talking about right now: Richard Gaad’s Baby Reindeer. The dark Netflix drama is being praised for its nuanced characters, also attracting criticism for causing speculation about the real life people who inspired them.

We also take on The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. Taylor’s 31 track odyssey sparks debate about the merits and the cringe-factor of her lyricism, Antonoff vs Dessner and how corporate greed is depriving the 2020s of classic albums. So does Taylor’s chart-domination make her the biggest gangster in music right now? Drake thinks so. For anyone who’s not up-to-date with the whole Drake vs Kendrick, Cole, Rocky, Ross, Future, Metro and Ye situation, we conveniently break that down for your water cooler conversations. 

Oh, and for the all the Ewan Mitchell fans out there who follow us – we share a little insight into how the House of the Dragon star was on set for his photo shoot with THE FACE.
