The Celebrity Teen Pregnancy That Crushed A Dream
Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women 25 years apart.
When you hear the last name 'Spears', who do you think of? For most people, it's a certain pop star, but for Em, Jamie Lynn is the only Spears that mattered. She was the star of her favourite show, Zoey 101, before a shock pregnancy derailed everything.
On this episode of Lowbrow, Em takes Holly down a Zillenial rabbithole, and shines a light on the 'scandal' that was Jamie Lynn's teen pregnancy.
One story, two generations, so much WTF.

Oprah And Her Wagon Of Fat
Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women 25 years apart.
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most famous entertainers on the planet. But before she was giving away cars and conducting groundbreaking interviews with royals, her show looked a little bit different (and so did she).
This episode, Holly takes Em back to 1988, before she was even born, to talk about the highest rated episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show of all time. It involves a pair of Calvin Klein jeans, a literal wagon of animal fat, and a whole lot of strange dieting advice...
One story, two generations, so much WTF.
