Everybody has a Taylor ticket story Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

Hello hello!

On today’s show: The Barbie marketing campaign is well and truly amping up and it’s all we can talk about in the Shameless Media office, why is Blake Lively facing backlash over the release of her new Betty Booze cocktails, what’s going on with all these rumours Kyle Richards and her marriage and then, we unpack the most perfectly timed mailbag: is it OK to not want to sell Taylor Swift tickets to someone you don’t deem a big enough fan?

This week, Annabelle recommended watching Swarm on Amazon Prime. Zara recommended listening to the Jonas Brothers on Armchair Expert.

Big thanks to Roadshow and the newly released comedy Joyride for making this episode possible. If Joyride has piqued your interest, grab some popcorn and head to your local cinema now.

A sushi scandal Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

Update: In an earlier version of this episode, Mich accidentally said “Olivia” instead of Sophia Culpo. That error has been amended.

Hello, legends!

On today’s show: Is Jennifer Lawrence’s new movie as problematic as some people are saying it is? Molly-Mae steps down from a role that many found controversial to begin with, how the Glastonbury crowd had Lewis Capaldi’s back and Alix Earle’s soft-launching her new boyfriend has kicked off quite the TikTok controversy.

This week, Mich recommended Amelia Dimoldenberg on Louis Theroux’s podcast. Zara recommended ‘Why Sarah Jessica Parker Keeps Playing Carrie Bradshaw’ by Rachel Syme in the New Yorker.

BOOK CLUB: Really Good, Actually Jun 23, 2023

Show notes

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Na2UkzFL8yHDL3G5BFMVc?si=923b6e8b022442d7

Hello, book clubbers!

This month, we read Monica Heisey’s debut novel: Really Good, Actually. The book is told through the eyes of Maggie - a 29-year-old whose marriage ended just 608 days after it started. Sure, she’s alone for the first time in her life, can’t afford her rent and her obscure PhD is going nowhere, but she’s reaaaally good. As Maggie throws herself headlong into the chaos of her first year of divorce, she finds herself questioning absolutely everything.

Got some thoughts on our July pick, ‘Yellowface’ by R.F. Kuang? We’re allllll ears (also, eyes, heads, bodies, etc etc) - join in the convo over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub. Or, if you’re after some variety, here’s a link to record a voice message via our website, too.

You can browse the eBook and audiobook versions of past book club picks in our room on Apple Books! Have a look-see right here. (You might spot our little baby, The Space Between, in the mix there, too.)

The YouTuber series: Logan and Jake Paul (Part one) Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

Hiya, pals!

Just saying the names ‘Jake and Logan Paul’ is enough to elicit an eye roll or exasperated groan. So how exactly did these two brothers become so notorious? And how the hell did their careers survive the controversy?
