P!nk’s Delusional Victimhood (with Mohammed el-Kurd)

A cultural and political earthquake revolving around Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, and P!nk might have felt semi-plausible in 2012, but certainly not in 2026. And yet! After Macklemore called for a free Palestine at Ed’s concert, a disgruntled P!nk took to Instagram to call for apologies and refunds. In a follow-up essay, the 2000s pop icon clarified she does not need a refund, but wants to make one thing clear: as a Jew, Macklemore’s words made her feel unsafe. Today, Palestinian author and poet Mohammed el-Kurd helps dissect P!nk’s big feelings, the evolving rhetoric of Liberal Zionism, and the power of calling something what it is.

Simon Callow

One of Britain's best-loved and most talented actors for you today: Simon Callow. In this gem of a conversation, Gyles hears about Simon's childhood in Streatham, where he was dazzled by his theatrical grandmother but had a more complicated relationship with his "odd" mother. His father left when he was small. Gyles hears about formative teachers, an early love of theatre and literature, and music. Simon also talks about university in Belfast, Michael Mac Liammoir, drama school and how writing to Laurence Olivier landed him a job at the National Theatre. This is a fabulous episode, one of the best. We know you'll enjoy it - and our deep gratitude to Simon Callow for taking the time and trouble to record with us. Hosted on Acast.

687. Are Prediction Markets the Best Forecasting Tool Ever — or Just Another Casino?

The promise is that they can beat the experts at predicting inflation, elections, and FDA approvals. But right now, roughly 90 percent of the action is sports. Is this a future we want to bet on?

Offcuts: The HYROX Poop Scandal, Bridezilla's Contract & Your Best Petty Revenge Stories

Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, your little weekend snackkk to get you through to Monday! Quick update from the 30-day, six-second kiss challenge: it is... not going well (Matt has strong feelings about morning breath and mid-cereal ambushes). Then it's round two of your petty revenge stories, and Lifers, you did not disappoint. From graffiti-ing a horrible ex-roommate's number on public bathroom walls, to a decade-long silent feud that ended in a very unhygienic doorstep delivery, to a groomsman's pants meeting an untimely end days before a wedding. We run through the best (and most deranged) of what you sent in. We also unpack a viral 15-point bridesmaid contract that's been doing the rounds, covering everything from banned weight gain to mandatory sobriety, and try to figure out if this bride is joking… or dead serious. Then, the story that has completely taken over our algorithm this week: a High Rocks world champion who had a full, uncontrollable bowel accident mid-competition — and kept going to take out the win. We get into the internet's brutal reaction, whether the rules needed to change, and if a title is really worth it at the cost of your dignity. We close out with the viral "plane breastfeeding" video that sparked outrage worldwide… before it turned out to be completely fake. We talk about rage bait, media literacy, and why fake outrage does more harm than good to real conversations. Listen to our Wednesday Ep where we spoke about our 30 Kissing Challenge Listen to OffCuts where we spoke about petty revenge Watch the Breastfeeding Mother on a plane video Keep your questions coming!

Can we live without our phones?

For many of us, our phones are the first thing we look at in the morning and the last thing we put down at night. But with growing pressure over screen time and concerns about the impact of social media, tech companies like Meta have agreed to restrictions. In our conversations, we bring together three people who have received treatment for tech addiction. We also hear from those have decided not to use smartphones at all. “To me what’s weird is when a couple go on a date, instead of looking at each other and talking to each other, they’re staring at their own phones and texting people and doing whatever,” Loren in Los Angeles tells us.
