    Is It Just Me: Ariana and Cynthia - leave their bodies out of it!

    It’s time to get topical!  The highly anticipated Wicked film came out this week and guess what… we weren’t invited to the premiere (unlike the rest of Instagram!) We also get serious about the body shaming we’ve seen in the media around Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Why do people feel like it’s okay to talk about their bodies and why are we so reductive when it comes to women? We also discuss camel anatomy, I’m A Celeb and the love of Em’s life… Hugh Jackman.  Have you ever been so hungry you’ve eaten a glass Christmas decoration?

    I’m a Just Stop Oil activist - for my children’s future

    Have you ever heard a non-confrontational confrontation with a Just Stop Oil activist? Today we’re speaking to Gill Tavner. She’s a Just Stop Oil campaigner - but perhaps doesn’t fit the image that the media might paint you of one.  Gill was one of the warmest and most lovely people that we’ve spoken to on the podcast. She also has a criminal conviction - for walking in the road as part of a Just Stop Oil slow march.  She tells us how her activism was inspired by increasing desperation and anger about her daughters’ futures and she explains in simple, accessible and clear terms what Just Stop Oil is demanding - and it might not be as extreme as you think.  We know that climate anxiety is a real thing - and we know sometimes it can be easy to avoid difficult conversations about climate change. But Gill makes the conversation digestible and understandable - and she might just make you want to take action.  You can read about Just Stop Oil’s campaign to end fossil fuels by 2030 here - https://juststopoil.org/  Follow @just.stopoil on Instagram Follow @gilltavner on X Email us on shouldideletethatpod@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram: @shouldideletethat @em_clarkson @alexlight_ldn Should I Delete That? is produced by Faye Lawrence  Music by Alex Andrew Hosted on Acast.
