Ep 42: Concert etiquette, passport bros & the Skinny Influencer

This week it’s our beloved Oenone’s turn to be ill- she was very missed but the show went on with Ruchira and Beth getting stuck into the debate about modern concert etiquette after a viral call out after a Chappell Roan gig. Are we forgetting how to behave at events or are times simply changing?Next up is Jamali Maddix’s documentary on so-called ‘passport bros’ who encourage young men to travel to South America to find better lives and better wives. A sinister male MLM in the making or just a passing fad- we discuss. And lastly The New York Times investigated a ‘Skinny Influencer’ after she was banned from TikTok for videos that some believe encourage disordered eating. Is this a move in the right direction or social media censorship? And why can't we escape the cult of thinness? This final conversation contains potentially triggering mention of eating disorders and diet culture, so please listen with care. Run-don’t-walk to our Instagram @everythingiscontentpod to let us know what you thought about today’s topics- our DMs and comments are wide open and waiting. THE GUARDIAN - The Ministry of Time NETFLIX - His Three DaughtersVARIETY - Bebe Rexha Hit by PhoneSKY NEWS - Pink stunned by fan’s mothers ashes THE GUARDIAN - Brixton Academy CrushBILLBOARD - Astroworld DISTRACTIFY - beabadoobee Stresses Importance of Concert EtiquetteU&DAVE - Jamali Maddix: Follow the LeaderTHE GUARDIAN - Hustlers INDIE MAG- Conspiracy Culture THE GUARDIAN - Follow the Leader NYTIMES - Who Is the ‘Skinny Influencer?’ WSJ - Liv Schmidt  Hosted on Acast.

Ep 41: Will&Harper, chaos-queen Jemima Kirke and cutting parents off

Gorgeous babe Beth is ill this week, so Oenone and Ruchira steer the content ship into port. The pair dive into Netflix's new documentary starring funny-man Will Ferrell and his long-time bestie and collaborator, Harper Steele. The documentary makes for a tearful, moving examination of friendship, allyship, and what it means to be a trans woman in the US. Grab your tissues before watching! Next-up, Vogue dropped a new series starting with a day-in-the-life as actress, artist and it girl Jemima Kirke. At one point she writes that she's bought a kitten and is yet to deliver it to a friend. Why do we love knowing the unusual details of a celeb's life? And finally, a New Yorker piece takes a 360-view of a rising trend of people going 'no-contact' with their parents. Ruchira and Oenone discuss whether we can learn anything about how to navigate difficult family relationships from the piece, and if our views on family estrangement have changed after reading it.Head over to our Instagram and TikTok pages @everythingiscontentpod for memes, discussions and chats - we’d love to know what you think!Have you subscribed?

Ep 37: Parasocial relationships, Emily in Paris and moving in with mum and dad

What are THOSE!? Oenone shares some troubling news about the return of heeled trainers... Once we spiritually recovered, we dived into Chappell Roan's frustration at "creepy" fans, to investigate what exactly do celebs owe us. Should we feel offended, or commend her for setting a boundary? We also speak about our favourite 30-something marketing hot-mess, Emily, who is still in Paris. Why do people hate her? And finally Beth wrote an opinion piece about moving out of London and in with her parents, and it pushed A LOT of people's buttons online.

We’re also talking about the rumoured BTS feud on It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Why is the internet taking sides and is there more to this than meets the eye?

Ep 35: Far-right riots, Dallas cheerleaders and the return of smut

This week on Everything Is Content, we thought it was about time to discuss the Netflix docu-series that everyone has been raving about for the last few weeks - America’s Sweethearts.

Happy Olympics everyone! Despite knowing basically nothing about *actual* sport, we dive into some of our fave moments from the games so far. We also delve head first into the article that EVERYONE has been talking about this week - The Times piece about the influencer Ballerina Farm. Has this rightfully reignited the tradwife debate - or should we just leave her alone to raise her kids and milk her cows? We also want to know if you were at the open air screening of Mamma Mia that got cancelled in London last week - is recommendation culture ruining our experiences or is it just an effect of the economic crisis? Head over to our Instagram and TikTok pages @everythingiscontentpod for memes, discussions and chats - we’d love to know what you think! Have you subscribed?

Wake up babe, new nonsense body insecurity just dropped! This week on Everything Is Content, we’re discussing the term ‘septum arms’ which was generated by the TikTok algorithm... what does this tell us about the speed of the trend cycle, and should we be concerned about the gen pop’s level of internet literacy? And, of course - we’re discussing the Kamala Harris x brat meme cycle… should we be pleased that politicians are trying to engage younger voters or is this distracting us from talking about actual policies? We also talk about Reem - Sheerluxe’s new ‘AI-enhanced’ team member… we have THOUGHTS.

Danai Gurira - star of The Walking Dead: Everything In Conversation

Today, Oenone is in conversation with actress, playwright and activist Danai Gurira. Danai plays the beloved character Michonne in one of our favourite shows - The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is back with a new spinoff series - The Ones Who Live - which sees Michonne reunite with her husband Rick after they were separated in a post-zombie-apocalyptic world. We find out what it’s like to portray a love story in such a high stakes world, why Danai thinks The Walking Dead captured audiences from its very first pilot, and her experiences as an executive producer, lead and writer on the series. All episodes of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live are available exclusively on Sky and Now. You can binge all 11 series of The Walking Dead there as well! Follow Danai on Instagram @danaigurira—Follow us on Instagram:@everythingiscontentpod @beth_mccoll @ruchira_sharma@oenone ---This episode of Everything Is Content was produced by Faye Lawrence and Ollie Braddy for We Are GrapeExec Producer: James Norman-FyfeMusic: James RichardsonPhotography: Rebecca Need-Meenar Artwork: Joe Gardner  Hosted on Acast.
