Ep 21: The internet has spoiled Baby Reindeer
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.

Ep 19: The Sexualisation of Former Child Stars
In the week that Jojo Siwa entered her bad gal era - here on Everything is Content we’re unpacking what it means for a former child star to graduate into adulthood. How does the media respond when child-stars reinvent themselves… and why is Jojo Siwa claiming to have invented gay pop? We also take a dive into a story that has lit up the timelines this week of a husband who ghosted his pregnant wife, and her crusade on Facebook to try and find him and serve him divorce papers. Do we have the right to disappear online, and does that go away if we do bad things?
If you want to chat to us - please head to our Instagram @everythingiscontentpod. We’re also now on TikTok (I KNOW, look at us keeping up with the modern technology) it’s @everythingiscontentpod there too. Please join us!

Ep 18: Age Gap Relationships - a deep dive
Bonjour - we’ve gone international! Oenone has moved to Paris for the spring (oooh la la!) so we’re coming to you from both sides of the channel today. We’ve got something a (tiny) bit different for you in this episode - the internet was set on fire last week by The Cut who published a personal essay about an age gap relationship, so we've decided to go DEEP diving into both the article itself, and our general perception of age gaps in relationships. We also celebrate on behalf of our US listeners - who have had Sex and The City drop in full on their Netflix this week. What are some of the most iconic moments and does the show have a Gen Z equivalent?
We think it’s about time that we read another book together - so let us know on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod if you’d be up for reading Middlesex with us - or drop us a suggestion if there’s anything else you want us to read as a group!
