On this episode we ask: Why is Gen Z so obsessed with the show Girls? We revisit the show Girls - created by Lena Dunham - and ask why youngsters are so obsessed. This requires a lot of recalling the era of indie sleaze, feminist girl bosses and asking why on earth people care so much about what Dunham looks like. PLUS - Lauren counts down her top 5 shows about female friendship.INTERVIEWThe show kicks off with an interview with the fab Farah Elle, who performs at this year's Dublin Fringe Festival with her show Libya!
