- 社會與文化
The Listen is a weekly conversation between friends and colleagues, Abi Gibson and Charlie Perry, who share their observations and overanalysis of pop culture, current affairs, and their own lives. Think of it as a nostalgic, glossy magazine but a lot less toxic and with a lot more intellect.
Founder of Astrid Productions, Charlie, and Senior Producer, Abi, have been producing your favourite podcasts for years but now they’re in front of the mic. Each week they gather three stories to keep you in the know about the things that matter and crucially… the things that don’t.
A Studio Astrid Production.

The new cult no one is talking about
Abi ponders the aggressive and sexy marketing of Bridgerton season 3 and Charlie reveals the cult she’s recently joined (and maybe leading?).
The girls also discuss a true crime documentary that’s massively gone under the radar, the Bridgerton boy’s glow-up academy and the discourse on Xwitter from the new hate crime act in Scotland and the problematic tweets that surround it.
