- Society & Culture
This week we have a special episode diving into our guest, author Louise O'Neill's on-going cultural obsession: Britney Spears' abs. With low rise jeans threatening a comeback, we travel back to the dark days of the late 90s and unpack just what growing up in the shadow of that vast flat abdomen did to young women. We discuss toxic messaging around food and exercise and how we as a culture often feel a sense of ownership over the bodies of our female stars. Also in bet in or bin it, we chat Mindy Kaling's new series Never Have I Ever and the disturbing comeback of the chainletter.
