  • Happy Friday and even happier Everything Is Content day! This week the pod is missing our beloved Ruchira (on hols) but are determined to put on a good and- frankly chaotic- show until she’s back in our arms.


    First up we talk about everyone’s favourite luxury murder show White Lotus. Who are we loving, hating and hoping ends up dead by the end? Plus- is this latest series a familiar high-end hotel romp or a little too much of what we’ve seen before? 


    Then we get firmly stuck into the latest Bridget Jones instalment. Which of us cried the most? Who got more drunk? What did we think of Mark Darcy’s demise? Which hunk did we want her to end up with? And is Bridget Jones a feminist hero, a self-hating hack or a secret third option? Listen to find out!


    We hope you like (love) this episode just the way it is and if so… why not leave us a 5* rating and/or tell the world about us on social media? We’re @everythingiscontenpod and you are wonderful for reading this far. 


    See you next weds!

  • Happy Hump Day EIC heads - we've got another author special for you!


    Our beloved Beth is ill, so she’s resting up, but Ruchira & Oenone are holding the fort and they’ve got an amazing interview for you with debut novelist Dr Nussaibah Younis.


    Nussaibah is a peace-building practitioner and a globally recognised expert on contemporary Iraq, and even advised the Iraqi government on humanitarian issues. We are talking to her about her debut novel Fundamentally, a book we all adored FYI, and Stylist’s debut book of the year, which is out now. 


    'A wickedly funny and audacious debut novel following an academic who flees from heartbreak and lands in Iraq with an insane job offer—only to be forced to do the work of confronting herself.'


    Follow Nussaibah on Instagram @nussaibahyounis and pick up your copy of Fundamentally here or in any good book shop!

  • Happy Friday! Last week we dropped the first part of our EIC special on porn, looking at the creators and platforms taking over the industry. This week our (highly anticipated) second part looks at the people behind the screens: the consumers.


    First up, why is porn addiction such a divisive topic among academics? And does it even exist? We answer that question and look at the deeper issues contributing to widespread compulsive porn-use.


    Next, we look at the rise of non-consensual user-generated porn i.e. deepfakes and revenge porn, and the fact young people are accessing this content. 


    Finally, ethical porn has promised to right the wrongs of an often exploitative, discriminatory industry. Just how true is this, and can porn ever ethically be consumed?

  • In our first Everything In Conversation of 2025 we’re talking to thee Shon Faye- brilliant author, writer and journalist. Shon’s first book The Transgender Issue was a bestseller and her new non-fiction Love in Exile is already one of our favourite reads of this year.


    Exploring both her own experiences of love, heartbreak and feelings of unworthiness as well as the problems and challenges of modern love from multiple angles, this is a book for anyone in love, out of love, wanting to understand love and romance in new and radical ways. 


    In our chat Shon talked about romcoms, break-ups, community, addiction, different ways of mothering and what she’s learned about the history of love. She's funny, she's brilliant and we can't wait for you to listen.

  • Happy Valentines Day - as a special treat, we've got a double deep dive for you - Everything Is Content, and some things, are Adult Content.


    This week on the podcast we’re delving into the world of OnlyFans and digital sex work for part one of our two-part Porn series. In this instalment we are going to be talking about sexy subscription services, the Lily Phillips documentary and Bonnie Blue’s banned OnlyFans video.


    So possibly more than anything else in the history of the pod, we have been asked by you at home, to talk about OnlyFans- the London based subscription service for content creators that has seen global success and cultural notoriety since it was founded 9 years ago, becoming especially popular with adult performers and sex workers producing pornography and selling other digital sexual services.


    We discuss a Substack by the very popular writer, creator, PHD candidate, and podcaster Maalvika Bhat, titled “What OnlyFans Billions reveal about the market value of male desire”, and ask, do we think some men might resent the freedom that OnlyFans allows women in terms of monetising sexuality? Why do women get so much of the “blame” for OF’s popularity when it’s men who are the biggest customer base? Can a site like OF alter desire on a broad scale? Are we maybe even seeing this happen?


    We then go on to discuss 23 year old Lily Phillips and her documentary with Josh Pieters, as well as another key figure in this conversation, Bonnie Blue, a 25-year-old sex worker and content creator who became even more famous for claiming to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. 


    Tune in next week for part-two, where we will be looking at the consumers of porn, the dangerous misuse of it, and whether or not it can ever, truly, be ethical.

  • It's the extra episode!! This week we're diving into the most divisive topic we've done yet: the ethics of surrogacy. Our DMs were flooded with requests for this, after Lily Collins and her husband got a huge amount of backlash for sharing the news that they'd welcomed a baby into the world through surrogacy.


    Thank you so much for your thoughts on this one. Just a reminder to follow us on the gram (IG, Insta, whatever you want to call it) to join in the discourse. We read out listener messages to help shape our own opinions and reflections in these Wednesday episodes.

  •  It's TIIIIIMEEEEE for Everything Is Content - Happy Friday EIC heads, we did it, another week bites the dust.


    As HUGE Motherland fans, we were eagerly anticipating the new BBC spin off Amandaland. The sitcom, produced by another love of our life, Sharon Horgan, follows Amanda (the leader of the alpha-mum’s from the original show, with her perfectly blow-dried blonde hair, insufferable lack of self-awareness and yet somehow endearing charm) who is now divorced and has re-located from Chiswick to South Harlesden with her teenagers. She deals with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco-anxiety, as well as establishing herself as an interiors influencer with her new business ‘sensuous’. Joanna Lumley, who plays Felicity, Amanda’s mother, is her best self as an ab-fab-esque ex model. The show has ginormous boots to fill, so we ask, has it lived up to the hype?


    Next up - this year's Grammys... Two people who apparently did not stay long enough to enjoy themselves were Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and his wife Bianca Censori, who showed up, stood for photos and then were apparently- if rumours are to be believed- asked to leave the ceremony following Bianca’s outfit reveal. We discuss our reaction to her fit - or lack there of - and ask whether this is a sign of something horrible and sinister happening in front of our eyes, or if it’s just a display from two people who are equally invested in giving us all a good show.


    Lastly, one of the more gorgeous moments from the Grammy’s, was Tampa rapper Doechii getting her well-deserved flowers, winning best rap album and in the process becoming one of three women to win the award. We discuss her beautiful speech, her sensational lyricism, and why we are so pleased to have her in our ears.


    Aaaand, if you're happy to have us in your ears... a 5* review wherever you listen would mean the world, Thank you so much in advance <3

  • Happy hump day EIC heads! As a reward for making it halfway to the weekend here’s a brand spanking episode of Everything In Conversation for you- and it’s a doozy. 


    This week we’re discussing a new branch of the nepo baby discourse that sprouted after 24-year-old singer and Messy internet sensation Lola Young was “outed” as being the niece of mega-successful children’s author Julia Donaldson (e.g. the creator of The Gruffalo). 


    This revelation sparked conversations online about whether this connection was enough to open doors, if we even should be labelling Young a nepo baby, and what having a rich or high profile relative can mean when navigating a career in the arts. Armed with a pile of brilliant listener messages we try to find some answers, as well as getting stuck into the complications of the UK class system, code-switching, the sexism inherent in the term nepo baby and what we think we should all actually be talking about instead. 


    Thanks so much for listening and/or taking part in this In Conversation episode. If you want to be a part of next week’s discussion just follow us on IG @everythingiscontentpod. We’d also love if you could leave us a rating or a review or even share us on socials- it means the world and helps us grow!

  • TGIF and TGIEICD (thank god it's Everything Is Content Day... is this gonna catch on?)


    This week, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dip their toe in the fashion discourse, if 2025 Haute Couture is anything to go by, then quiet luxury and stealth wealth might be being booted out for loud luxury, extravagance and labels, sorry Sofia Richie Grainge!


    Next up, Selena Gomez posted a tearful video on Instagram Stories on Monday, before quickly deleting the post. In the video, she responded to the US' nationwide immigration raids over the weekend, which saw the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest 956 people on Sunday — the largest number of arrests on a single day under Trump. He announced several extreme executive orders on immigration from his first day. US Senate candidate Sam Parker called to 'deport Selena Gomez' on X, while the left basically called her self-involved. They ask, why do you think we’re so cynical of emotional outbursts online?


    And last but by no means least, is society shifting now towards intentional and consensual round the clock tracking? Beth found a fascinating piece called “We are all Big Brother now: The largest system of surveillance isn’t run by the government or corporations. It’s the grass-roots panopticon we’re using to judge one another.” It was written by Alan Levinovitz, and published in the Boston Globe last June. At EIC headquarters the girls are quite worried!

  • Everything In Conversation is BACK with a meaty one for you. With your incredible input, we waded into the threat of a TikTok ban in the US.


    Just how impactful would losing the platform be for creators and audiences; could any good come from it; and what are the political motivations at play? President Trump has positioned himself as the short-from video saviour, but this isn't strictly true...


    Thank you so much for listening to our extra episode, and please do follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get stuck into the discussions. If you enjoyed this episode (we hope you did) please leave us a rating wherever you're reading this! xxxx

  • Happy Friday! Happy Everything Is Content day more importantly! 


    One story that dominated the news cycle this week - the inauguration. Whether we liked it or not, Donald Trump's speech and questionable guest-list was unavoidable. We dived into the rise of the broligarch, our fears for Trump 2.0 and the promises he's already made on trans rights and climate action (i.e. to protect neither).


    Life is about the light and the dark, but the Molly-Mae doc didn't really offer as many laughs as we'd hoped! Listen to our review of the highly-anticipated 'tell-all' from the UK's influencer-in-chief. Was it as salacious as we wanted?


    If you haven't already, go listen to our last Everything in Conversation too. Aaaand, give us a rating and a 5* review wherever you listen to us pls, pls, pls. Thank you so much <3

  • Happy Wednesday, or unhappy Wednesday, it's been a weird week. Here at the EIC newsroom, we will fill you in - welcome to Everything In Conversation.


    This week on the extra episode, we discuss BrewDog founder James Watt's approach to work/life balance... which is to not have one. He came under fire after he shared a video of him and his fiancé, Georgia Toffolo, where he says, ‘so I just think the whole concept of work life balance was invented by people who hate the work that they do’, to which Georgia replies ‘it’s so true’.


    After he received a huge amount of backlash, including unacceptable threats of violence, as well as lots of more balanced takes,  Watt asked on LinkedIn,  “What does it say about our society that a post extolling the virtues of hard work gets met with this kind of furious backlash?” calling it a “bizarre controversy”. He said: “As a nation, we love to joke about the French being lazy, but the reality is that our output per hour is 13 per cent lower than theirs."


     James Watt is worth an estimated 262 million pounds at present, and has also previously been accused of presiding over a “toxic” culture. 


    Beth, Ruchira and Oenone rummage around in the mess, and with help from the listeners, try to answer the question, is The UK workforce, work-shy?

  • In the famous words of Rebecca Black: "it's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!" And we're back with a brand new episode of Everything Is Content!


    This week we're drinking UP the Babygirl discourse like a tall glass of milk. Were we intolerant to the film, or lapping it up and asking for more? 


    Also, there's drama in the romantasy world and it doesn't involve magical creatures, but rather humans and accusations of plagiarism. Just how unique are the themes and tropes of the genre?


    And finally, let's sit down around the round table to discuss the only show truly *giving* right now. Yes, The Traitors. Listen to find out how this season compares to others in our eyes, and our stand-out characters and moments. 


    One kiss (consensual) for everyone who listens, subscribes and rates us 5 stars on your podcast player. And please go listen to our extra episode from Wednesday for an extra helping of us.

  • Happy Wednesday! You know what that means – a brand new Everything in Conversation.


    This week on the podcast we're diving into the viral essay that incinerated the timelines just before Christmas. Yes, we're talking about The Cut's Lilly Jay essay.


    For anyone who doesn't know, last year stories of an alleged affair circulated around Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. The pair soon went official, and his ex-wife Lilly Jay gained attention as a result.


    The chat went all sorts of places, including why the media needs a villain in a possible cheating story, the scorned woman narrative, therapy, and our views on monogamy. 


    Let us know what you thought of the essay and our conversation, and please leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts. It really helps us out <3

  • Happy new year and welcome back to Everything is Content! We hope you’ve missed this as much as we have (e.g. extremely, enormously and a lot).


    In our first episode of 2025 we’re setting our intentions for the year to come- one of us wants to go up a big hill, one of us wants to get bendy and one of us wants a full rebrand. We also discuss our relationships to reinvention and ask: is it toxic to say no to rotting in bed? 


    Next up: the agony of texting men. Is text-debt a real thing or are we over-reliant on texting as a replacement for in-person friendship and connection? 


    Aaaaand finally we’re looking at the latest legal drama in Hollywood as the Lively vs. Baldoni vs. NYTimes cases pick up momentum. Why are we so quick to criticise famous women and can these witch hunts and PR smear campaigns finally end with us? 


    As ever thank you for listening! Could you help us start 2025 off right by sharing us on your socials or in your most distinguished group chat? And if you’re feeling fancy, how about a 5 star review would? Remember to follow us on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod- that’s where the discourse afterparty happens.

  • It's the penultimate episode of Everything is Content for 2024! Sadly Beth was travelling this week, so Oenone and Ruchira lead this very special extra episode. 


    This week, the girls are in conversation with *the Emma Appleton*. You might know her as the lead from Dolly Alderton’s BBC adaptation of her memoir, Everything I Know About Love, but she’s now leading Paramount’s new rom-com series The Road Trip, based on the book of the same name by bestselling author Beth O’Leary.


    The six part series starts with a wedding trip to Spain which takes an unexpected turn for Addie (played by Emma) and her sister Deb, when they're forced to share a campervan with Addie's ex Dylan, his friend Marcus, and a stranger Rodney.

     

    Here at EIC headquarters we can confirm the series is a gorgeous look at relationships in your 20s, navigating life and what happens when it all goes wrong. 


    The Road Trip will be available to stream on Paramount+ from 26th December 2024.


    You can follow Emma on instagram @emmajappleton.


    Please do let us know if there are any other guests you'd love to hear from, you can message us @everythingiscontentpod on Instagram.

  • Ho-ho-how is it less than two weeks to Christmas already?!


    On this most jolly Friday the 13th, join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone for a look at Sabrina Carpenter's Christmas special (now airing on Netflix). What were our fav bits and do we think SC could be ready to ascend to Mariah Carey levels of December Diva-hood?


    Also this week- a film about a harried mother who thinks she's turning into a dog. Adapted from the 2021 bestselling book of the same name, Nightbitch explores femininity, rage, marriage and parenting without a pack. We give our thoughts and share what the reviews are saying.


    Finally- one of the weirdest weeks online for a while. After the murder of a healthcare insurance CEO in New York, the internet is thirsting openly, unabashedly and without shame over his accused killer. Is this a symptom of the ongoing irony epidemic or are we just... missing the joke?


    Thank you as always for listening to Everything is Content. We'd loooove if you could share us with a mate, link us on your story or just tell a stranger about the pod at the bus stop. We want to keep making EIC for all eternity and this really helps us do that. Also, remember to follow us on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod. See you over there! x

    This week on extra episode, we tackled the allegations against MasterChef co-presenter Gregg Wallace.

  • Happy birthday to us! EIC is officially a year old!


    Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone as they briefly become Miranda Priestly for the week, delivering the highs and lows of the celeb-filled Fashion Awards. Did you see that Rita Ora wore custom Primark on the red carpet...? We've got lots to talk about there.


    Also this week, a woman proudly shared the news she had passed her PHD viva. Time to celebrate right? Wrong – a swarm of incel/loser men descended on her online like flies on a [redacted]. Let us tell you what exactly went down, and what we can learn from the truly unhinged altercation.
