    25: Alligator Boyfriends and Disappearing Boy-bands

    Lana del Rey's dating a crocodile alligator hunter and everyone's favourite Russian spy whale is dead in Norway. Broadly Relevant is back and we're bursting with decorum. On this week's episode we chat about men having no clue how to date properly, Zayn Malik's favourite childhood game, and Sabrina Carpenter's brilliant new album.

And to top it all off, we dive deep into where all the bands went. Why don't we have anymore One Direction and Fifth Harmony, and can K-Pop fill the void? 💖 We hope you love Episode 25 of the podcast for burnt out girlies trying to stay Broadly Relevant, hosted by your favourite personality hires, Simran Pasricha & Ryan Hamilton.
