After Al revealed she has *romantic feelings* for Shrek - we decided to ask you guys about your cartoon crushes… and be warned - they get a little freaky.
Can you have a crush on a candle? Could you be in a long term relationship with Aladdin? Is the Beast as Beastly as he seems?
We also segue into hypothetical wishes, a hilarious childhood prank and Hugh Grant’s hatred of backpacks.

Faye Winter appeared on Love Island in 2021 and when she left the villa she was faced with a lot of noise and a lot of criticism. In this episode, Faye chats candidly about seeing herself in a different light, admitting she was wrong, and how she apologised and is working towards becoming a better person.
Faye tells us about her desire to live a normal life after appearing on the show - but how some people can perceive that as a failure, and how the choices that influencers make are dictated and driven by their audience engagement.
We also have a candid chat about Faye’s experience with filler - and how it is unregulated in the UK. Faye shares a horror story about botox and explains why she’s so vocal about the topic now.
Thanks so much to Hinge for sponsoring this episode. The dating app, which is designed to be deleted, inspires daters to take it slow this holiday season and reflect on the learnings from the past year. As we near the end of 2024, it’s the perfect time for a profile refresh demonstrating the person you’ve grown into this year and creating New Year’s intentions #HingePartner AD

Lucky you - it’s another episode featuring husky Alex!
It’s all been A LOT lately, so in this week's IIJM we lift the lid onto how much we’re literally hanging on by a thread.
We’ve been working hard getting our body image series ready for the new year - so today we have a chat about putting pressure on ourselves, our organisational styles and how we cope working so closely together. It turns into a bit of a therapy session...
We have an awkward all the way from Cape Town, a deep chat about animal hybrids and we ponder how far the human species would have got if it was made up of only Als and Ems (spoiler alert: probably not far)

Al has a sore throat so this week’s Is It Just Me gets a little sexy… you have been warned!
Today, we discuss why people might fancy Shrek - and we're also going to break down some movie magic for you.
Then, things get a little more serious because we also dive in to our personal reasoning for not sharing our children online and we discuss some of the judgement placed on parents and how we find out what works for us personally.

It’s time to get topical!
The highly anticipated Wicked film came out this week and guess what… we weren’t invited to the premiere (unlike the rest of Instagram!) We also get serious about the body shaming we’ve seen in the media around Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Why do people feel like it’s okay to talk about their bodies and why are we so reductive when it comes to women?
We also discuss camel anatomy, I’m A Celeb and the love of Em’s life… Hugh Jackman.

Have you ever heard a non-confrontational confrontation with a Just Stop Oil activist? Today we’re speaking to Gill Tavner. She’s a Just Stop Oil campaigner - but perhaps doesn’t fit the image that the media might paint you of one.
Gill was one of the warmest and most lovely people that we’ve spoken to on the podcast. She also has a criminal conviction - for walking in the road as part of a Just Stop Oil slow march.
She tells us how her activism was inspired by increasing desperation and anger about her daughters’ futures and she explains in simple, accessible and clear terms what Just Stop Oil is demanding - and it might not be as extreme as you think.
We know that climate anxiety is a real thing - and we know sometimes it can be easy to avoid difficult conversations about climate change. But Gill makes the conversation digestible and understandable - and she might just make you want to take action.
