  • It’s For Me!

    A delight to my American ears. Especially delightful when you have some of my other podcast faves on like Justin McElroy and Bobby Finger.

    I love these two ladies. I love the British topics. I love the silly little games.

    I cannot stop saying East Enders the way you say it in the opening.

  • Essential

    I moved from the UK to the US as a child, and for the rest of my life I have had to struggle to guide my American friends through various points of reference that have baffled them.

    If I had this podcast I would have been saved thousands of hours explaining things poorly (as in badly, not sickly) and instead said “Ey up why don’t you give these two birds a listen?”. Charlotte and Libby take on some really odd concepts and take the time to make an informative and very funny experience.

Grand Theft Auto with Lucy James
Q: What are your expectations for GTA 6 in terms of scope, price, and industry impact?

Grand Theft Auto with Lucy James
Q: How do you think GTA reflects or refracts American culture from an outsider's perspective?
The guests and hosts agree that GTA presents exaggerated American archetypes and urban mythologies, using satire to interrogate consumer culture, technology, and everyday life in a way that's both critical and entertaining.
Grand Theft Auto with Lucy James
Q: What was your first GTA game, Lucy, and how did it shape your view of the series?
Lucy describes starting with Vice City or Five-era experiences, highlighting how the series' humor, scale, and world-building drew her into following GTA through multiple installments.
The Simpsons with Bill Oakley
Q: Why do you think The Simpsons resonated so strongly in the UK compared to other American shows?
Bill suggests that The Simpsons' blend of irony, its cartoon format, and a late-night sensibility common to British humor helped it cross cultural boundaries, allowing both kids and adults to connect with its humor even if many references were American.

Q: Do you like The Spice Girls?
Josh expresses positive sentiment, describing himself as pro-Spice Girls and acknowledging their cultural impact.
