    President Trump 2.0, The Broligarchs & Molly-Mae's Filtered Life

    Happy Friday! Happy Everything Is Content day more importantly!  One story that dominated the news cycle this week - the inauguration. Whether we liked it or not, Donald Trump's speech and questionable guest-list was unavoidable. We dived into the rise of the broligarch, our fears for Trump 2.0 and the promises he's already made on trans rights and climate action (i.e. to protect neither). Life is about the light and the dark, but the Molly-Mae doc didn't really offer as many laughs as we'd hoped! Listen to our review of the highly-anticipated 'tell-all' from the UK's influencer-in-chief. Was it as salacious as we wanted? If you haven't already, go listen to our last Everything in Conversation too. Aaaand, give us a rating and a 5* review wherever you listen to us pls, pls, pls. Thank you so much 3 ---------- (A Complete Unknown) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11563598/ (Babybels) https://groceries.asda.com/product/465888??utm_source=organic&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=ghs&srsltid=AfmBOopxC78YpwXHFy1TvOY_UgmAgSR177Q2MfQzs1AvaR9lzHKo8TK0eF8 (Harris Dickinson on Off Menu) https://open.spotify.com/episode/3zRK3iLzWNkmzvR40OtGVO (Severance) https://tv.apple.com/gb/show/severance/umc.cmc.1srk2goyh2q2zdxcx605w8vtx https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/395646/trump-inauguration-broligarchs-musk-zuckerberg-bezos-thiel https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/01/the-inaugural-address/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwwaEuDeqM8 (Molly Mae: Behind it) All https://www.amazon.co.uk/Molly-Mae-Behind-All-Season-1/dp/B0DN24C8NT Hosted on Acast.

    Everything In Conversation: Are We Work-Shy?

    Happy Wednesday, or unhappy Wednesday, it's been a weird week. Here at the EIC newsroom, we will fill you in - welcome to Everything In Conversation. This week on the extra episode, we discuss BrewDog founder James Watt's approach to work/life balance... which is to not have one. He came under fire after he shared a video of him and his fiancé, Georgia Toffolo, where he says, ‘so I just think the whole concept of work life balance was invented by people who hate the work that they do’, to which Georgia replies ‘it’s so true’. After he received a huge amount of backlash, including unacceptable threats of violence, as well as lots of more balanced takes,  Watt asked on LinkedIn,  “What does it say about our society that a post extolling the virtues of hard work gets met with this kind of furious backlash?” calling it a “bizarre controversy”. He said: “As a nation, we love to joke about the French being lazy, but the reality is that our output per hour is 13 per cent lower than theirs."  James Watt is worth an estimated 262 million pounds at present, and has also previously been accused of presiding over a “toxic” culture.  Beth, Ruchira and Oenone rummage around in the mess, and with help from the listeners, try to answer the question, is The UK workforce, work-shy? https://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/24851034.roz-foyer-james-watt-spouting-nonsense-work-life-balance/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/features/has-brewdogs-toxic-culture-pierced-craft-beer-balloon/#:~:text=A%20staple%20on%20supermarket%20shelves,out%2C%20afraid%20and%20miserable%E2%80%9D. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/14/uk-is-among-most-work-shy-nations-claims-brewdog-founder/ https://inews.co.uk/news/house-prices-young-people-nothing-to-work-for-3457041#:~:text=NEWSLETTER%20(%C2%A3)%20Work%20no%20longer,a%20home%20of%20their%20own.&text=This%20is%20Home%20Front%20with,newsletter%20from%20The%20i%20Paper%20.

    Babygirl, A Scandal in Romantasy & Rooting For Traitors

    In the famous words of Rebecca Black: "it's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!" And we're back with a brand new episode of Everything Is Content! This week we're drinking UP the Babygirl discourse like a tall glass of milk. Were we intolerant to the film, or lapping it up and asking for more?  Also, there's drama in the romantasy world and it doesn't involve magical creatures, but rather humans and accusations of plagiarism. Just how unique are the themes and tropes of the genre? And finally, let's sit down around the round table to discuss the only show truly *giving* right now. Yes, The Traitors. Listen to find out how this season compares to others in our eyes, and our stand-out characters and moments.  One kiss (consensual) for everyone who listens, subscribes and rates us 5 stars on your podcast player. And please go listen to our extra episode from Wednesday for an extra helping of us. ------------ Perfect Day podcast Motherland We Might Regret This Daddy Issues Vogue: Babygirl Is All Vibes, No Meaning Vogue: If We’re All So Comfortable Talking About Female Pleasure, Why Are All The Women I Know Still Faking It?

    Everything in Conversation: How Does Her Divorce Make Us Feel?

    Happy Wednesday! You know what that means – a brand new Everything in Conversation. This week on the podcast we're diving into the viral essay that incinerated the timelines just before Christmas. Yes, we're talking about The Cut's Lilly Jay essay. For anyone who doesn't know, last year stories of an alleged affair circulated around Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. The pair soon went official, and his ex-wife Lilly Jay gained attention as a result. The chat went all sorts of places, including why the media needs a villain in a possible cheating story, the scorned woman narrative, therapy, and our views on monogamy.  Let us know what you thought of the essay and our conversation, and please leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts. It really helps us out 3 ------- The Cut: How Did My Divorce Make You Feel Vanity Fair: Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande on Love, Defying Rumors, and Flying High Bonnier Books: Men Have Called Her Crazy Apple podcasts: Las Culturistas Apple podcasts: Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel Hosted on Acast.

    Resolutions, The Agony of Texting Men & Lively vs. Baldoni

    Happy new year and welcome back to Everything is Content! We hope you’ve missed this as much as we have (e.g. extremely, enormously and a lot). In our first episode of 2025 we’re setting our intentions for the year to come- one of us wants to go up a big hill, one of us wants to get bendy and one of us wants a full rebrand. We also discuss our relationships to reinvention and ask: is it toxic to say no to rotting in bed?  Next up: the agony of texting men. Is text-debt a real thing or are we over-reliant on texting as a replacement for in-person friendship and connection?  Aaaaand finally we’re looking at the latest legal drama in Hollywood as the Lively vs. Baldoni vs. NYTimes cases pick up momentum. Why are we so quick to criticise famous women and can these witch hunts and PR smear campaigns finally end with us?  As ever thank you for listening! Could you help us start 2025 off right by sharing us on your socials or in your most distinguished group chat? And if you’re feeling fancy, how about a 5 star review would? Remember to follow us on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod- that’s where the discourse afterparty happens.  Beth, Ruchira and Oenone x ROTTEN TOMATOES - Nosferatu THE GUARDIAN - Carol THE GUARDIAN - All Fours PARAMOUNT+ - Geordie Shore WATERSTONES - So Thrilled For You SUBSTACK - Josh Gondelman THE ATLANTIC - The Agony of Texting With Men NYTIMES - Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine THE GUARDIAN - Why did so many people criticise Blake Lively?

    Emma Appleton - Everything In Conversation

    It's the penultimate episode of Everything is Content for 2024! Sadly Beth was travelling this week, so Oenone and Ruchira lead this very special extra episode.  This week, the girls are in conversation with *the Emma Appleton*. You might know her as the lead from Dolly Alderton’s BBC adaptation of her memoir, Everything I Know About Love, but she’s now leading Paramount’s new rom-com series The Road Trip, based on the book of the same name by bestselling author Beth O’Leary. The six part series starts with a wedding trip to Spain which takes an unexpected turn for Addie (played by Emma) and her sister Deb, when they're forced to share a campervan with Addie's ex Dylan, his friend Marcus, and a stranger Rodney.   Here at EIC headquarters we can confirm the series is a gorgeous look at relationships in your 20s, navigating life and what happens when it all goes wrong.  The Road Trip will be available to stream on Paramount+ from 26th December 2024. You can follow Emma on instagram @emmajappleton. Please do let us know if there are any other guests you'd love to hear from, you can message us @everythingiscontentpod on Instagram. Hosted on Acast.

    Nonsense Christmas, Nightbitch and Thirsting Over a Suspected Assassin

    Ho-ho-how is it less than two weeks to Christmas already?! On this most jolly Friday the 13th, join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone for a look at Sabrina Carpenter's Christmas special (now airing on Netflix). What were our fav bits and do we think SC could be ready to ascend to Mariah Carey levels of December Diva-hood? Also this week- a film about a harried mother who thinks she's turning into a dog. Adapted from the 2021 bestselling book of the same name, Nightbitch explores femininity, rage, marriage and parenting without a pack. We give our thoughts and share what the reviews are saying. Finally- one of the weirdest weeks online for a while. After the murder of a healthcare insurance CEO in New York, the internet is thirsting openly, unabashedly and without shame over his accused killer. Is this a symptom of the ongoing irony epidemic or are we just... missing the joke? Thank you as always for listening to Everything is Content. We'd loooove if you could share us with a mate, link us on your story or just tell a stranger about the pod at the bus stop. We want to keep making EIC for all eternity and this really helps us do that. Also, remember to follow us on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod. See you over there! x --------- NETFLIX - Black Doves PRIME - The Holdovers  AMAZON - Acotar NETFLIX - Nonsense Christmas NETFLIX - Christmas with You PRIME - Your Christmas or Mine?
