Show notes

Hiya!

On today’s show, it feels like an age-old question these days, but we’re still asking it: do famous men face any professional consequences when they’re accused of abuse? From Zach Bryan to Brad Pitt to Johnny Depp to Chris Brown, has the world been suffering from some kind of collective amnesia about how these men have allegedly treated the women in their lives…??

Your hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1).

Hiiii!

On today’s show: there was a lot of smooching and hard launches at Glastonbury! The Bezos-Sanchez wedding happened, and it was the triumph of tacky.

Will Diddy be found guilty, and then, Khloe Kardashian has joined her sister Kylie in talking about every kind of plastic surgery she’s ever had.

This week, Zara recommended watching The Social Network (there’s a sequel coming!!!), and Cadbury’s new Marvellous Creations block (with Crunchie!!!). Mich recommended the Celebrity Memoir Book Club’s episode about Nora Ephron.

And then, Zara welcomes us to her algorithm - it’s Dua Lipa at Wembley, of course.
