Discovered this pod recently and it’s a new favourite - love Ellie and Kathleen’s clever and informed chat on all things pop culture, celebrity goss and female topics like hen do’s (and don’t’s!), dating and careers. Look forward to it every week.
Been looking for a replacement for Bang On for ages and this podcast, even though context is Brit rather than Australian, gives feminist, intelligent commentary on pop culture. I really like the addition of more book recommendations than I’m used to hearing.
Absolutely love these girls!! Their energy and intelligence is so fun to listen to. I hope they do more “bonus themed” eps- they’re JUST as good as the pop culture content!
Loving this podcast! Where can we get tickets to the book club event?
Really enjoy and they are both so skilled at what they do but Kathleen needs to let Ellie finish her sentences sometimes. It is making me not want to listen anymore as Ellie is saying something interesting and gets cut off…
