    Hi hi hiiii!

    On today’s show: Sophia Bush has penned one of the most honest essays we’ve seen from a celebrity in a very long time. Plus, Nicole Kidman becomes the first Australian to win one of Hollywood’s most prestigious awards, Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper just threw one of the bougier weddings we can remember, and it turns out Jennifer Garner is dating a burger guy? And has been for six years? Then, Slow News Week lol.

    This week, Zara recommended reading The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah. Mich recommended this NYT tomato soup recipe. To read Lauren Bensted’s piece in the Guardian called ‘I felt myself split into before and after’, head here.

    This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee.

LOOOOVE 💕

Have been an avid listener for years now. Michelle and Zara have a way with words! I love listening to their take on pop culture and the in depth, educated discussion around certain topics. Thought provoking and entertaining. Love everything you do girls ❣️

Roooooooooosaaaaaaay ,

10/10

Easily one of my favourite podcasts, have been listening since it first started and it’s been so fun to watch the show grow! I appreciate Zara and Michelle’s measured takes - I feel they are the voice of reason I’m looking for, whenever a pop culture scandal happens. Love the bonus episodes and scandal episodes too. Keep doing what you’re doing!
