A big week on the mics this week!

A bloody full episode of Culture Vulture this week! We start off with some more of your iconic period stories, before launching into a dicush about what we expect from musicians. Shawn Mendes and Tom Misch have both just cancelled their upcoming tours to look after themselves, which begs the question: are the musicians alright?

Can You Separate The Art From The Artist? Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

This weeks episode has been a long time coming (and had to be recorded twice to get it perfect) and it's all about when/ how/ and IF you can separate the art from the artist. Spoiler - there's no right or wrong answer here - it's an incredibly personal and introspective topic, but we give you so many tools to add to your toolkit when it comes to unpacking and reconciling your love for someone/something when the artist has done something Very Bad.

Picasso piece, Vox piece.

The Shit Show: Life in Plastic, It's Not Fantastic Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

A PODCAST ALL ABOUT PLASTIC! Ok, besties - one of me and Liv’s New Year's resolutions was to be more environmentally conscious - and that means limiting our plastic intake. Why? Because plastic is so shit for the planet. In this episode we go through a history of plastic (it's super interesting I promise) and then some fast (and not fun) facts, before giving some solutions about how each and every one of us can cut down on our usage!!!

This bonus podcast episode was made possible by the angels at Ethique who make the BEST plastic free beauty products, from shampoo bars to facewash! AND they’ve even given us a spesh discount code which gives you 25% off all full-price items for the month of July - just type in PLASTICISSHIT at the checkout and you’re away!

The Dark Story Behind Where The Crawdads Sing Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

This week we dive into the story behind the story of Where The Crawdad's Sing's author Delia Owens. This story - about an alleged murder in Africa when Delia was younger- is wild, and has deep parallels to her now incredibly famous novel and now film, so you're going to want to listen to this one!

Here is Jeffrey Goldberg's original story about the story.
