007 Debates, iPad OAPs & The Acaster Fallout
Hello EICustomer Service Robots… The three little ladies who live in your dad’s Facebook feed are back again… and we’re here to bring you all our impeccable takes and belated spooky season recommendations. Are you concerned about your parents’ screen time? Are boomers the new iPad generation? How do we respond to the older generation falling deeper into their feeds - and is it our responsibility to police their algorithms? We also really thought we’d be done with Traitors chat by now, but last week James Acaster served us with a twist which we never would have expected… we discuss why we should be speaking more about the representation of neurodivergence on screen. And, unfortunately, the change of seasons is upon us. We want to know: when is it okay to defrost Buble? Have you put your heating on? And what colour is November? Let us know in the DMs and Spotify comments. Love you loads, make sure you’ve followed us, subscribed to the review, left a review and we’ll see you next week.

An Animatronic Bird, The Boys Are Alright & The Cuck From Challengers
Dear EICorrespondents… Oenone’s about to jet off to NYC to see if she can get cast in the Girls reboot (!!) but before then we have a week of delicious content to feast on… Beth is back on her Bond Business, Ruchira is continuing her horror quest and Oenone’s been loving everything Larsson. We’ve also been treated to some exquisite internet nonsense as Kelly Clarkson has reignited a lost art... complaining about customer service on main. What doesn’t kill you really make you stronger... or something? Next up- a Reddit forum has given us hope that there might be a way out of the male loneliness epidemic via the kitchen. And finally- all of us have been enjoying Netflix’s adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East Of Eden. We’re all discovering the story for the first time and so we want to hear from all of the Steinbeck-heads at home. Is the adaptation living up to its promise?

Celebrity Traitors, Adéla Supremacy & Gen Z's Me Too Moment
Hello EIClaudiaWinklemans…. Your diva chaperones are back to guide you through this week in pop culture. This week we’ve all been loving movies… from Sheep Detectives to horror classics - we have not left any genres untouched. The Sad Girl community has been celebrating this week - as the Primavera Sound 2027 line-up has been released, and it’s a real feast of gorgeous gloomy pop girlies. Will we (three non-festival gals) be tempted to attend? And how will festivals adapt to the extreme weather conditions we’ve seen as a result of climate change? Sofa season is officially here - we’re deep into the second series of The Celebrity Traitors. And don’t worry - this episode was recorded before episode three was released, so we are (mostly) spoiler-free. And can someone tell us who is making all these James Acaster horny edits? Lastly, we discuss Gen Z’s Me Too Moment - the Cornell 7. As a content warning, we will be discussing the case as the final item in the podcast, so feel free to leave us there if that’s what’s best for you. And… James Blunt - if you’re listening, please get in touch! We love you - thank you for supporting the podcast, and we’ll see you next week.

Hypercritical Swifties, The Love Hypothesis & Toxic Leftists At The Lesbian Bar
Hello EICurmudgeons… In the midst of some sitcom-worthy activities in our personal lives, we’re back with another episode breaking down the biggest- and weirdest- pop culture stories. We’re heading to the Congo Basin (not literally, we hope) as British survivalist Ash Dykes prepares to embark on a 700km kayak expedition down the Sangha river. With equal peril we’ve also decided to discuss Taylor Swift. Should we be applauding the encore to The Life Of A Showgirl? And why are her four new tracks leaving a sour taste in the mouths of some of her die-hard fans? We break down our fashion highs and lows from the VMAs, before giving our takes on the mask-only lesbian bar that broke the internet. As always thank you so much for supporting our independent podcast.

Channing Tatum's Burner, Kylie Jenner's Jet & Stalker Mums
Hello EICucumbers… We’re all back and we’ve peeled Beth away from Vanderpump Rules to record this week’s episode of the podcast for you… We’re piling in on the internet’s hot debate of the week - is it unprofessional to bring an iced coffee to a job interview? Matcha girls, prepare to be outraged… because we have strong opinions on this one. EmRata has joined the ever growing list of celebrities advertising the prediction market PolyMarket. Does everyone have a price? We discuss how - when it comes to prediction markets - almost everyone loses. Oenone’s been within touching distance of Sharon Horgan this week - we swoon over her and take a look at her new series Youth. And - the mums are on SnapMaps… would you let your parents track you at Freshers Week? A mum has gone viral this week for detailing how she spies on her teenage son in a piece for The Times. We examine the dangers of surveillance and how location trackers may do more harm than good. Stick around to the end of the episode to hear an announcement about our future plans for the podcast.

Everything In Conversation: The Millennial Fear Of Phone Calls
Pick up, EICallers… It’s your favourite podcast calling! In this week’s Everything In Conversation, we’re asking: is cold calling your friends the answer to sustaining a healthy friendship? In response to a new Cut piece by Kathleen Walsh titled ‘I Should Be Allowed to Cold-Call My Friends’, we’re pondering how and why we seem to be so averse to calling our friends out of the blue to have a good old natter. We consider all the benefits of phone calls, what we might be missing on without them, and discuss some ways to make a cold-call less anxiety-inducing. This is an independent podcast and the best ways you can support us are giving us a follow on your podcast player, dropping a review and following us on Instagram, TikTok and now Substack.

Macklemore vs. Ed Sheeran, AI Extinction & The Sex Purge i.e. One Night Only
Hello EICave Divers… It’s been a WEEK of bizarre stories and we’re here to (attempt to) guide you through them… In the wake of the news that all of Ed Sheeran’s support acts have quit his tour in solidarity with Macklemore and the Palestinian people, we discuss the power of taking a stand in the face of billionaires. The HYROX Poo has been everywhere across our timelines this week. How well has the sport responded to this PR disaster? And what does this expose about the culture around HYROX? Meanwhile, another shitstorm (sorry) has been brewing around Sydney Sweeney - who has posed nearly-nude to advertise a sports prediction market. Have we come to expect this from her? What the hell is happening at Sweeney HQ? It’s the question we’ve all been asking this week: is AI really on track to kill us all within a decade? Jacob Coxon, former AI researcher at Anthropic who previously also worked at Open AI went viral earlier this month when he shared a post on X saying he’d resigned from the company over safety fears and that time is running out to ensure AI is safe. Before we get swept up in the panic, we’ve consulted several tech experts’ analysis and fact checks to try and wade through it all… And last up - we’ve been to see One Night Only, a new rom-com – or dystopian thriller depending on your reading which explores what it would be like if pre-martial sex was outlawed and singles only had one night to f to their genitals’ galore. Let’s just say, opinions are mixed within the team… Make sure you’re subscribed and please leave us a review, it’s the best way you can support our independent podcast.

Everything In Conversation: The Eerie Adultification of North West
Hello EICritters… In today’s Everything In Conversation - we’re discussing North West. In August of this year, Dazed released images of their Autumn 2026 issue, which features North, the 13-year-old daughter of reality TV star, brand owner and actress Kim Kardashian and musician Kanye West, as their cover star. When we’ve spoken about North on EIC previously, we uniformly agreed that there was something about her music career that doesn’t sit right with us: a recently turned 13-year-old performing at festivals, travelling to events without her parents, being filmed and photographed by thousands of people at a time and being swarmed by paparazzi. Now her words, opinions and thoughts have been written up in media written for and by adults. Are we right to feel uneasy about this? Is this any different from the careers of the child stars from our youth? And is this a sign of things to come for the future of the children of the Kardashian dynasty? Make sure you’re following us on Instagram for your chance to weigh in and give us your opinions in future episodes. Love you - enjoy the ep!

Everything In Conversation: Is Smoking "Chic"?
Hello EICiggies, Is smoking cool again? Was it ever? With smoking once again at the epicentre of celebrity chic we asked YOU whether or not you think people are picking up their lighters and throwing away their cares. And if so, are we experiencing a trickle down from celebs which is reversing decades of public health campaigns? We also reflect on our own relationships with smoking, how our attitudes towards smoking have changed through the years and how smoking has come to re-enter the mainstream. It’s the comeback that none of us expected. Can we attribute the rise of smoking as an aesthetic marker to a resistance to wellness, a natural bedfellow to the rise of diet culture - or are the famous people to blame? We consider the measures that can be put in place to stop it. Hope you enjoy the episode and as always, please rate, review follow, subscribe and share the show.

Influencer Special: No Influencers Allowed, Creator MLMs & The Age Of Rage(bait)
Hi EICelebrities… Today’s we’re #gifting you an influencer special. Once the guardians of the internet, are we now experiencing a rising tide of anti-influencer angst? Is it sexist to find them annoying? And just how relevant are they any more? First up we share the creators and influencers who we love to follow. Ruchira loves following Navy Ahluwalia (@naviahluwalia) & Savannah Sachdev (@savannahsachdev), Oenone loves following Veronika Slowikowska (@veronika_iscool) and Beth loves following Melissa Holdbrook-Akposoe (@melissaswardrobe) and Jack & Ash (@jackremmington & @ashholme). Then: is hating influencers a socially acceptable way to hate women? After a shop sign in America reading "no influencers" went viral, popular influencer Levi Coralynn argued that anti-influencer sentiment is often a vehicle for misogyny. We ask why female creators do seem to get pigeonholed and flattened by the term ‘influencer’ when men are allowed to label themselves in far more varied ways online? And is some of the criticism aimed at influencers fair? Next: are we in a style influencer recession? Hermes unboxing videos and videos of them grabbing a matcha pre-pilates aren’t garnering the same 7 figure viewership anymore, "forcing" increasing numbers of influencers to pivot to making low level ragebait to engage new audiences. In response to this, are we seeing more desire for intellectual and paywalled content on platforms such as Substack? Is it time for us to become ragebaiters or should we all go and touch grass? Finally: the latest influencer pivot seems to be teaching others how to influence. Is this an MLM or a natural career progression for a creator? Thanks so much for supporting out independent podcast! We hope you've loved listening. If so, please do follow us on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod. We're also now on Substack- expect essays, deep dives & even more pop culture recs!

Everything In Conversation: The (Katie) Price Of Fame
Hi there EICrocodiles! Today’s bonus episode is dedicated to the myth, the legend… Jordan AKA The Pricey AKA Katie Price. In July, Louis Theroux’s production company released a four-part documentary series offering a retrospective on the 30 years Price has spent in the public eye, and reflecting on the fallout of living a life seemingly dedicated to headline culture. For some she’s a a national treasure, an icon of the 90s and 00s and a fixture of British culture. Others criticise her for a history of questionable behaviour. In this episode we dive into the picture painted of Katie Price in this docuseries, how she has bounced back after a series of traumas and scandals, and why our soft spot doesn’t seem to want to go away. Was Katie Price the original Molly-Mae? Are we willing to set aside her scandals for entertainment value? Is this just a woman processing trauma?

Hello EICriminals! Today, we’re taking a stroll down bonkers alley to answer the question that you’ve all been asking… when is a shoe not a shoe? We’re really living in a foot guy’s world rn… We share our heartache following the death of Dolly Parton and reflect on the incredible legacy she’s left behind. Keep your ears peeled for Beth’s *very* special tribute. Are you kinda sick of kinda chic? The trend that we’ve all been seeing ALL over our feeds this summer has got us wondering… is there any room for creativity online when creators are rewarded for replicating content? We also discuss Amanda Knox and her Edinburgh Fringe show. Why has her show sparked such a debate? Does she have the right to tell her story and what moral obligations does she have? We discuss the case and details of the trial in the second segment, if this is something you may not wish to hear please do skip that segment. Meanwhile: is Marc Jacobs going to style Luigi Mangione for his upcoming New York State murder trial? We discuss our favourite courtroom style moments.

Everything In Conversation: Agony Aunts, Love Stories & Saying The Thing
Hello EICrushes! This week's episode is brought to you by Hinge, who are helping us to get deep into discussions about romantic advice, taking risks in love and 'saying the thing' (whatever that thing may be). First up we're chatting about dating advice. Where does the impulse come from to seek it and give it, who do we personally trust and can advice still be helpful even if you don't take it? Next up we discuss Hinge's newly released No Ordinary Love audiobook- the third iteration of the series. Five stories, written by five amazing authors about five real Hinge couples who all took a risk. We also talk about our own big leaps- Oenone in getting back with an ex, Beth in asking for what she wanted and Ruchira in sharing her fears with her now husband. And then finally we read out your dating takes and dilemmas- fizzling fears, advice skepticism and more! Thank you all so much for listening and to Hinge for sponsoring this episode! We can't wait to hear about your favourite stories from the No Ordinary Love series, so consider our DMs wide open for any and all thoughts, feelings & opinions. We LOVE being in conversation with you all.

AI Gae Guy, Literary Witch Hunts & Media Hounding
Hello EICroquettes! We are so back and Oenone has fallen for a new conspiracy, it’s like we’ve never been away. We’re bursting to the seams with two weeks of what we’ve been loving: from memes to literature - as always, we’re across it all. Enemy of the pod Sam Altman has found himself as the subject of a hilarious (and believable to some) series of memes created by Frosted Jake. Is this the ultimate punch up? Or did Frosted Jake inadvertently create a pitch perfect ChatGPT ad? Once again, the world of literature has been dominated with discourse around AI use in publishing. Have we ushered in a new era of AI witch-hunts? And why are non-white authors being disproportionately targeted? We also discuss the tragic news of Dr Jason Arday’s death and consider the responsibility of the media’s reporting around it. We know that this is an upsetting topic - so we just want to give you a heads up that this comes at the end of the episode. Have you been at the Edinburgh Fringe? DM us with your dispatches: we want to hear about the best shows, your favourite new talents, and if any of you saw Amanda Knox’s show.

Yesteryear, Tradwife Propaganda & Nara Smith with Caro Claire Burke (Rerelease)
Hello EICritics, earlier this year we had the pleasure of speaking with author and podcaster, Caro Claire Burke. Since then the book has only grown in popularity and sales. It really has been the book of 2026. A quick synopsis of Yesteryear: Natalie is a trad wife influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers. As far as her audience knows, Natalie loves her farmhouse, her well-behaved children, making sourdough from scratch and her perfect husband Caleb. But behind the scenes of her Instagram content, everything is very, very different. Then, one morning, Natalie wakes up in the 1800s. Her phone, her assistants, they’re all gone. Is it a hoax? A reality show? A test from God? Natalie just knows she has to escape. And don't worry – no spoilers! We loved speaking with her and hope you enjoy catching up on the interview after you've hopefully read the book!

PCOS, Fertility & Freezing Your Eggs (Rerelease)
Happy Wednesday! As you'll no doubt know by now, the three of us have been off the EIClock for the last couple of weeks for our yearly break- and we've been using the opportunity to dig through the archives and re-release some old favs, all timers & under-appreciated gems. This week we're going back two years to when the three of us got to together to discuss fertility, PCOS and egg freezing. Back in 2024 the actress Florence Pugh opened up about having her endometriosis diagnosis dismissed by a doctor and it made us want to dive deeper into women's healthcare. Why do so many of us feel alone, in pain and under-informed when it comes to what is happening with our reproductive and gynaecological care? We share all of our thoughts and yours. Thank you a million for listening and for being so open with us about an enormously important issue. Follow us on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod so you can be involved in all future discussions. See you Friday for our final re-record- and then we'll be BACK the week after with brand new content! Yay!

Ageing & The Pursuit of Youth (Rerelease)
Hello EICucumbers, we have another gem from the archive. This is the accompanying episode to our double beauty special from 2024. Has much changed in two years? It feels like the pursuit of youth has only become more ubiquitous since then, but rather than replacing thinness, that old chestnut has also come back to haunt us all. Can you believe the impact of GLP-1s is just two years? It's quite something... We'd love to hear your thoughts on the themes that still ring true and the ones that have already evolved since this first came out. We're very naughty and still check DMs and Spotify comments despite being OOO, so please do keep messaging in <3 Love O,R,B xxxx — THE GUARDIAN: A quick reminder ...
