Everything Is Content We Are Grape

Get ready for a glow-up because for the next two weeks on Everything Is Content we’re taking a deep dive into the world of beauty. 
In today’s episode we’re looking at makeovers - from Andy’s bangs in The Devil Wears Prada to Trinny and Susannah, we grew up in the peak era of makeovers on TV and film. Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone to discuss the effect that cultural representations of makeovers have had on us - and how makeover and glow up culture is manifesting itself today. 
We’d love to hear what you think about the - sometimes ugly - world of beauty. Chat to us over on @everythingiscontentpod on Instagram.
Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss our second beauty special next week - where we will take a forensic look at the world of ageing.

Well, what’s this then?! Welcome to the first edition of Everything In Conversation - where Beth, Ruchira and Oenone chat to the people behind the content that we’ve all been loving! 
This week - we will be in conversation with Eliza Clark, the author of Boy Parts and Penance. We LOVED Penance when we read it as our book club choice - and we had loads of questions for Eliza - so we asked her to come and chat to us about the book that we all loved so much! 
Was she a chronically online Tumblr girlie? Does she actually care about true crime? And what is it like when you get compared to your characters, especially when those characters do murders…
Penance is out in paperback this week on 2nd May. Grab your copy in your local bookshop or you can buy one here: https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571371785-penance/

Hello! We’ve got another episode of Everything Is Content for you - this week the internet has slightly soured the way we’re looking at Baby Reindeer, did we all miss the point of the show? Drake has been using AI in a diss track - is it ethically ambiguous or is this the new frontier of diss tracks? We also, of course, discuss Taylor Swift’s new album - The Tortured Poets Department. Has she managed to win over three non-Swifites? 
If you want to understand more about the issue of stalking - listen to Ruchira's podcast Anatomy of A Stalker, which is available on all podcast platforms.
