    Helloooo!!

    On today’s show: Taylor Swift’s eleventh album, The Tortured Poets Department, is here and boy is it divisive. Hugh Grant has settled his case against The Sun newspaper, Sydney Sweeney responds to those quotes about being ‘not pretty or talented’, is Mark Zuckerberg… hot now? Victoria Beckham’s celebrating her 50th while her husband David is suing his old buddy, Mark Wahlberg. Oh, and then it’s Slow News Week!

    This week, Zara recommended ‘3 vintage celebrity interviews I love’ in Books and Bits. Mich recommended watching The Idea of You on Prime Video and Baby Reindeer on Netflix.

    This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee.

    Hiya, everyone!

    Welcome to the second and final part of our series on Clara Bow. She’s the woman who inspired the final track on Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department. So, we wondered, who was Clara Bow? The answer took us on a fascinating path.

    This episode was researched by Eilish Gilligan and audio produced by Zara McDonald.

    The omniverse of exes

    The omniverse of exes

    Hi honeys!

    This month we did something a little different and asked you guys how you feel about your exes and your partner’s exes.

    Your Shameless hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1).

    If you heard us raving about the ⁠MECCA MAX Pout Pop Lipstick⁠ you can find it ⁠here⁠!

    This episode was audio produced by Sohani Goonetillake.

    Thanks so much for being part of this cosy little (ahem, VIP) nook. We’re extremely grateful that this corner of Shameless exists. See you next time!

    Helloooo, friends!
    On today’s show: the curious timing of Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen’s divorce, JoJo Siwa’s rebrand has made everyone mad, Billie Eilish wants you to be her close friend, Andrew Garfield has a hot normie girlfriend, the YouTuber who announced her baby’s arrival on the same day the media learned she’d filed for divorce, and there’s a chance the bizarre news stories you’ve read in the last month are the work of a comedian taking the piss.
    This week, Zara recommended Scoop on Netflix. Mich recommended an article in The New Yorker called ‘A Woman In Earnest’ written by Tina Brown.
    This episode was made possible by Dan’s Daily. Head to dansdaily.com.au now to discover the inside word on drinks.

Pop culture besties!

I’m obsessed with this podcast. Long drive? Shameless. Cleaning the house? Shameless. Working? Still listening to Shameless. It is genuinely the only podcast I’ve ever subscribed to, but I just cannot get enough. Zara and Michelle are my best friends via podcast, and you can’t convince me otherwise! :)

I look forward so Shameless every week!

I love this podcast! And as a Swiftie I love that they talk about Taylor ! My favorite episodes are the scandal episodes. They really do their research and put in so much effort into making those episodes!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

As a woman from the American Southeast that was put on to the Shameless podcast about a year ago, I just want to say, thank you for existing.

This podcast and media company is so female positive without being down your throat about it. You make it’s feel so effortless and beautiful. I feel like I learn more listening to this podcast about relationships and culture than I have up to this point in my life, in such a positive, supportive, and healthy way.

I’m probably a little older than your typical demographic (34) and was put onto it by a friend (40) but I want my daughter (16) to listen to everything you produce as I think it would be so good for her to have the relationships and friendships that you talk about throughout your entire media platform. I feel like you have opened my world and are helping me help her as a young woman to navigate this world.

We binge your show every road trip and my husband is even invested in the content of the episodes as we listen together.

Thank you!
