The (Donk) Of It All: Beyoncé's Earworm, Charli XCX's Rock Era & Smart Glasses
We're getting down and into it on this episode, as Clara and Munroe are here to dive into all the most important pop culture topics in this episode of Into It. Since when did it become "normal" to film each other secretly? Since the launch of Meta's smart glasses (with built-in recording), Clara & Munroe have been concerned... and Munroe is coming with the receipts. In our first tech moment of the podcast, we dive into why this technology is dangerous, who gets protected... and who doesn't. Clara is dissecting Beyoncé's earworm Morning Dew and Munroe is deep in an internet wormhole of a woman who is building an endless tunnel under her house?! Along the way, Clara goes deep into Elle Fanning's Margot's Got Money series and makes the case that prestigious actors choosing TV is one of the best things to happen to the medium in years. We also pay proper tribute to Charli XCX's new rock era: not just for the music, but for the career move. Like, comment, subscribe, and don't miss new episodes of Into It every Monday.

The Odyssey's Colourist Backlash, Katie Price & FIFA World Cup Halftime Show
It's been a packed week for pop culture and Clara and Munroe are diving into all of it on this episode of Into It. The biggest story in culture is the release of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey - a film that sparked controversy when it was first announced, but is now being loved by audiences from IMAX to your local cinema screen. We dive into the ambition of Nolan's filmmaking, which actors were under-used and which performances surprised the most. The bigger conversation is about the racist and colourist backlash to Lupita Nyong'o's casting as Helen of Troy. Clara speaks personally about her own experiences with colourism in her professional life, and the exhaustion of watching dark-skinned Black women be denied beauty, humanity, and peace - even when they're delivering Oscar-level work in one of the biggest films ever made. Then: the Katie Price four-part documentary which beat expectations with genuinely new revelation and nuance. Munroe draws real parallels between Katie's neurodivergence, her unprocessed trauma, and the media machine that both built and brutalised her. Plus the FIFA World Cup halftime show gets a verdict, JAY Z gets called out for announcing a London show on Beyoncé's birthday... and Melanie C's DM to Clara, which briefly terrified everyone in the group chat!

Pop Legends Are Back: Madonna's Confessions & Robyn Kills
It's a very culture-packed week, and Clara and Munroe are fully recovered from their summer colds and ready to debrief. This episode is a love letter to pop OGs doing exactly what they want... starting with the big one! Munroe was at Madonna's Club Confessions party and Confessions II has now been heard. The verdict? Munroe is floored. From Danceteria's duet with Lourdes the heartbreaking Fragile the reclamation of the ACT UP triangle on the cover, and Madonna's prophetic track record on the internet and cultural decay: listen to the Madonna album more times than you care to. Then: Munroe caught Robyn at the O2! A show of radical simplicity that somehow made the O2 feel intimate. With Every Heartbeat live reduced the floor to rubble, Love Kills finally happened in the flesh, and the crowd (approximately 80% gay men, 20% women) collectively lost their minds. Clara attended Formula One for the first time as a guest of Lewis Hamilton's Mission 44 charity. She also attended the launch of Candice Carty-Williams' Queenie sequel, and is firmly in Lulu's corner after meeting her at a screening of Olivia Wilde's new film The Invite (co-written by Rashida Jones). Over It this week: people who don't wash their hands in public bathrooms, gym-goers who leave sweat prints on the equipment and walk away and anyone leaving a gooch print on a cycle machine without wiping it down.

A Summer of Live Music! Harry Styles, Bad Bunny & Madonna's New Album
Summer has arrived and Clara and Munroe are fully outside! This episode is a love letter to live music, icons and the art of doing it your way. First up: Harry Styles at the O2. Clara was there, and she's a convert. The vocals are better than ever, his uncle dance moves are admirable, and those yellow shorts? Appreciated. Munroe draws the Robbie Williams of One Direction comparison (affectionately), and both agree that we're witnessing Harry's David Bowie Let's Dance era. Then we get a full review of Bad Bunny's DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour. A full ten out of ten. No notes. The pair gush about the sheer joy of 50,000 people moving their bodies together, the radical act of performing exclusively in Spanish to English-speaking audiences, and the moment Bad Bunny made Damon Albarn look genuinely happy to be somewhere. The centrepiece of the episode is a full Madonna deep dive - because Confessions II is here and neither host is remotely calm about it. They rank her eras, debate whether she'll tour the new record and float the dream of Madonna and Mariah Carey both on the Glastonbury bill next year, on different days, not speaking to each other. We wrap up talking about the BET Awards (specifically the Lauryn Hill tribute and RAYE's performance) and what Clara & Munroe are over for this week!

The Dark Side of Fame, Addison Rae's Impact & Lizzo's New Album
The past couple of weeks of pop culture have reminded us all of the dark underbelly that exists in pop culture - and on this episode of Into It, Clara & Munroe are getting into it. From Lil Nas X's return to social media - and his new diagnosis, and openness about therapy - Clara & Munroe explore why the public so often make people like Nas (and Britney, and Amy) into avatars rather than real people. Munroe also speaks about what it's like to face a diagnosis when you already feel the world has given you enough to carry. Clara & Munroe also revisit their ongoing debate about Addison Rae and her true cultural reach before talking about the poor commercial performance of Lizzo's new album and the ugly cocktail behind it: from false accusations to beauty standards and the industrial complex behind the new music's failure. We wrap up with the TV shows Clara & Munroe are into... and a certain goalkeeper that the internet is thirsting over! Like, comment, subscribe, and don't miss new episodes of Into It every Monday.

Love Is Back: Dua Lipa's Wedding & The State of Dating Shows
Is love back? On this episode of Into It, Clara & Munroe are looking at our summer of love - from Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's wedding to the state of dating shows. From the Married At First Sight of it all to Love Is Blind (although, what is "blind" when all of the contestants are media-trained?)... is the era of dating shows over? Plus, Clara & Munroe open up about why Love On The Spectrum remains a genuinely meaningful watch for them. Clara & Munroe are also talking about the new Michael Jackson biopic and Netflix documentary (and the messy, money-driven machinery surrounding it) and, to take the edge off, they divulge what they're obsessed with: Munroe being fully obsessed with Rivals, while Clara has been working through Fellow Travellers and the harrowing drama The Witness. They also give flowers to Russell T Davies' new series Tip Toe. Plus: a giddy tangent on Dua Lipa's wedding to Callum Turner (and those sneaky leaked photos), a debate on whether Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian are really in love or just in love with the idea of each other, and some long-overdue gratitude for the Kardashian-adjacent glow-up of just... being in a healthy relationship.

Mighty Hoopla, Horror's Comeback Moment & Ariana Grande's Back On Top
Clara and Munroe are back with a new episode of Into It... and they've been busy! The duo swap festival war stories — Munroe hits Mighty Hoopla in denim hot pants and introduces Liberty X to the stage, while Clara jets to Philadelphia for Roots Picnic (Jay-Z headlining, Blue Ivy spotted watching from the wings) before catching No Doubt at The Sphere in Las Vegas. Then it's into the main event: is horror having it's comeback moment? Between Obsession and Backrooms, it seems like it. Clara and Munroe unpack what it says about the times we're living in that horror is dominating the box office, drawing a striking parallel with 20 years ago. The conversation touches on A24's cultural revolution, the exciting new generation of young directors shaking up the genre, and why The Substance's Oscar nomination was such a watershed moment for horror. And to close things out, a quick chart chat — Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's collab Rein Me In spent 13 non-consecutive weeks at number one, but Ariana Grande is back with her ponytail, her thigh-high boots, and a new single to knock them off the top spot.

Kylie Minogue, Olivia Rodrigo's Babydoll Dresses & Katie Price's Boyfriend
Welcome to the first episode of Into It - the podcast where best friends Clara Amfo and Munroe Bergdorf dive headfirst into whatever's got them talking that week. And what a week it is! First up, Clara shares her experience hosting the London premiere of Kylie Minogue's new docuseries, and the two wax lyrical about why Kylie is, quite simply, unmatched. From her incredible ability to turn adversity into light, to her sustained pop dominance across five decades, Clara and Munroe unpack what makes the icon so magnetic. Then the conversation turns to Olivia Rodrigo, who's found herself at the centre of an internet debate over the babydoll dresses she has worn as part of the campaign for her new album, "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love". Clara and Munroe dig into the deeper conversation around female pop stars reclaiming their sexuality on their own terms — and why society still struggles with it. In the "Over It" segment, Munroe tackles their complicated relationship with true crime content and both hosts get thoroughly invested in the fast-developing saga of Katie Price and her boyfriend.
